Yes, their ages did get my attention, especially hers.
Since Luigi was born abt. 1831, I would guess there were probably many more children born to Pasquale and Rosalia. Unfortunately, I haven't rented any birth record films for the 1830's and early 1840's that could be researched at the FHC.

Here is the death of one of Carlo's brothers.

Hi John,

Here is the image for your grandfather's birth act.
Giovanni Pietro Nicola was born in SMCV on 24 May 1888 to Vincenzo 26, a carpenter, and ...

John,

I have that film at FHC. I should have that record for you by Saturday.

You are right and what you say does make sense.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Suanj,

Thank you for that wonderful research. I was really struggling to figure out this whole puzzle.
However, I do have a question. How common was it for daughters to travel under mother's maiden name? I don't believe I have seen that before.

Thank you

Thank you

Hi T.

I actually got to the Santalucia family thru the Pantano family. I thought that Maria was Rachele's mother. I never considered the possibility of Maria having the same original surname. You have made me rethink the whole relationship. :(
Thank you for the additional leads. I will pursue them ...
