Hi again Marty, I was just going to ask you about that if you found anything on Caterina or Salvatore. Yes, perhaps another town where they were baptized?
Here is what I have on for DOB's on Onofrio (Anthony) 2/5/1891, Caterina 12/8/1881 and Salvator in 1883. I am working on getting a death certificate for both of Salvator and Caterina so that may help in the search for their baptismal papers too.

I know that Salvatore and Caterina were both confirmed in the parish in Partinico in 1888.

I think we are actually related. Was Angelina's father Angelo Buscio born July 11,1856? If so... He was my Great Grandfather's brother -Giuseppe/Joseph Buscio born Dec 19, 1865 married to Caterina La Spia. Though I haven't done research on your Marchese line. I have some info on the Buscio line... If you are interested?
