Luigia (Louisa) DeLeo Provenzano

Post by mcvega »

Hello,
Straight to the point. On the 25th of March 2014, I was looking for information on Giovanni DeLeo and you people are wonderful you found the information I was looking for Thank you.
Now I have been in touch with a lady who says her grandmother was Luigia DeLeo and we think they may have been related. (Giovanni DeLeo)
Is there anyway to find out if they were siblings? Here is the information she has.
Luigia (Louisa) DeLeo Provenzano
Born 1887 - 1947
Her father's name was Marco
She believes they lived in Cianciana but does not know where in Sicily she was born.

I hope that is enough information. I would love to find out if we are related

ThankYou

Giovanni De Leo (as you know) was born in 1879 in Joppolo Giancaxio, Agrigento... to Marco De Leo and Maria Pistone.

I searched the 1887 births for Luigia De Leo, but only found another son of Marco De Leo and Maria Pistone, and his name is Giuseppe :-)

Here is the link to the record (#56)

EDIT TO ADD: It appears that Luigia "fibbed' about her age a bit! :-)

Found her in 1884... with a notation in the margin of her marriage to Antonino Provenzano on 1 October 1905. :-)
She has the same parents as Giovanni De Leo --- Marco De Leo and Maria Pistone - so they ARE siblings!
Here is the link...
