Ancestors of Leonardo Antonino CIAMPA

Notes


488. Antonino (di Pietro) MELI

Antonino was a "mulattiere" (mule driver).


489. Ignazia CARIOLA

In her marriage listing, ilgenealogista.it incorrectly lists Ignazia's last name as Meli.  In her son Illuminato's death certificate, it is clearly given as Cariola. According to the same ilgenealogista.it listing, Ignazia's father is Mario, and her mother was Concetta Prestianni.


492. Cruciano PACE

Cruciano was a widower.  His first wife was Giuseppa Scafiti.  The 50-year-old Cruciano married a 40-year-old widow, Arcangela.  Despite their advanced ages, they had a son together, Pietro (named after Cruciano's father).


493. Arcangela MANCANI

Arcangela was a widow.  Her first husband's name was Antonino Longhitano Santo Minissale.


498. Giuseppe SIMILI

After Angela's death, Giuseppe married Maria Sinatra in 1788 in Mineo.  He was 48, she was 27.


499. Angela ZACCARIA

Fortunata's parents' names I gleaned from the Latin marriage certificate (Chiesa di Sant'Agrippina, image #754). First name is abbreviated "Ang.la."

On Angela's death certificate her age is listed as "approximately 40."  He had to have been older; if she were born in 1748, at the time of her marriage in 1761 she would have been 13 years old.  Assuming she was between 15 and 23 when she got married, and 50 or younger when she died, her birth year should have been in the 1738-1746 range.


506. Ignazio NOLFO

After his wife Caterina Ledda's death (c. 1767), Ignazio married Eufrasia Laparda (Jan. 1768) in Mineo.
