Carini Question

Post by cj11788 »

Greeting all,

Attached are two 1636 riveli from Carini for Francesco Corpora.

The first one which I call "number one" has Francesco with his wife and lots of children and also mentions his Father Antonio as being alive.

The second one which I called "number two" confuses me. I am fairly confident it's the same Francesco Corpora. Looking at the upper right paragraph it mentions where he is from but I can't read it. Any suggestions. Who are Caterina and Giulia? Any help with the rest of the paragraph would be great.

Can anyone guess why there would be two riveli for him?

Thanks

Chris

Do you have access to the index?

It looks like number two might be inherited property.

Hello,

If needed I can get the other pages of the document. Will that help?

My main question is what is the town mentioned and who are Caterina and Giulia.

Thanks

"Revelo che Francesco Corpora di questa terra
tutore di Caterina e Giulia Corpora loro
nipote figli et heredi del quondam Vincenzo
presenta a Don Gaspare Dente Capitan d'Arme
....."

Francesco is the uncle and guardian of Caterina e Giulia Corpora, the daughters and heirs of the late Vincenzo
