Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
I have a couple more records for you. One is Giuseppe Musicau's baptismal record. It doesn't really have any new info, but you might like to have it anyway.
The other is the death record of Gaetana Sergi from Porto Empedocle in 1873. I'm posting the link since it is too big to upload. You can ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
Unfortunately there's no church marriage record for them in Siculiana between 1885 and 1890.
Carubia,
Thank you and him for checking though.
One fascinating item of note...my GGM was born in Siculiana on 42 Via Lunga I believe (according to the birth record).
However, her brother Paolo was ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
Oh< I see what happened. You knew your GGGM was Giuseppa Lauri, but the connection to Messina was established by DNA. Your cousins are descended from probably siblings of Giuseppa and they traced their family back to Messina. It seems that they would be 4th cousins, though, assuming they were ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
Here is the death record of Saverio Musicao of Malta, who died in Siculiana on 9 Jul 1850. His parents were the deceased Giuseppe and Teresa of Malta, but the surname of Teresa was not known to the people who reported the death. His wife Innocenza Lanzone was still alive (and in fact was still ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
They are not online. I'll ask my friend if he has or can obtain them.
What are the odds that there was another couple with these names in Siculiana? Both surnames were rare and not native to Agrigento. You know their names from your family and records in the US, right? Do you have some ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
There are a couple of other possibilities with regard to the marriage of Giuseppe and Giuseppa:
1. They were never actually legally married. When they reported the birth of Paolo in Agrigento, Giuseppe claimed to be married since no one there would've known the truth, as they had only recently ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
All the marriage records for Ribera between 1885 and 1890 are online. But don't bother looking through them. I have indexed all marriage records in Ribera from 1820 to 1929 and there is no Musicao or Musicau in there. I also have all the marriage records through 1888 in my tree currently (except 2 ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
I found the birth record of Giuseppe Musicau [Musicao]. He was born 26 May 1850 in Siculiana to Paolo Musicau and Caterina Valenti. (I guessed he was born in 1850 from the passenger manifest which showed him either as 2 years older or 2 years younger than his wife. It's hard to tell which because ...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
There are other similar names in Sicily, such as Lauro, Laurini, Laurino, and Lauricella.
Edit to add:
I just checked my tree (on Ancestry) and found 11 people with the surname Lauri from the city Messina. A couple of them moved to Ribera and married there in the 1880s. One of those people with ...

Can you post the arrival manifest link, or an image?
In Sicily, the spelling of the surname could be LAURIA (with an ending "a")---OR --- LORIA
I have checked the births in Santa Lucia, Messina for years 1849-1853, and I do not find her.

Attaching the manifest...

Re: Lauri Family Birth Records Search Striking Out
I see from someone else's tree on Ancestry that Giuseppa's husband Giuseppe Musicao was from Siculiana. I've done quite a bit research there but hadn't come across the name before, so I just did a search and found that 3 Musicao siblings moved to Siculiana (from Cospicua, Malta) and married there ...
