The 1890 birth lists her as Maria & the possible marriage record as Angela Maria----with out more research , I can't answer about Maria Grazia.....

With the marriage https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L97F-8WRN?i=816&cc=2043630&cat=2576 that PippoM supplied in the past, the puzzle pieces appear to be arranging themselves...... I've spent a minimum amount of time in the records for this area, but in that brief time have not...

Dennis, have a look at Antonio Sposito, son of Francesco & ?Gelsomina? De Lucia, born in July 1859......which would make him 41 at the 1890 birth record you have.....I can't make it all out but note the change from Antonio Sposito to Antonio D' Lucia Sposito..... http://dl.antenati.san.benicultu...

Thank you!

The Europa manifest (#15) lists his age as 24 (vs 21) and makes birth in 1883 more solid... I can't quite make out his destination location....? https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9R8-CXFD?i=455&cc=1368704&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AJXVW-WJZ This is likely his JANU...

I build charts and add info as I find records. Each record has multiple bits of info....for example ...

Its always worthwhile (especially if you are from a relatively small, close-knit, commune) to look around at sites like facebook for groups like these for my 'hometown' of Casalvecchio di Puglia https://www.facebook.com/groups/281951528586418 https://www.facebook.com/groups/578752532170683

This is one of the better organized groupings of 'Allegati (vari)' for Casalvecchio. The others are in progress but will take some time. NOTES on using this list. 1. The individuals with the [[name-number]] notations already have profiles created and are part of the 3.5K+ folks on the list (see post...
