Please translate the key genealogical facts on these two pages of the 1838 marriage record of Vincenzo Tricarico and Rosa Spezzacatena. I think it has the death date of her father, and possibly other facts.

Grazie.

I see that now. What is the word before "and"? Looks like figlio. What does that refer to?

Lo vedo ora. Qual è la parola prima "e"? Sembra figlio. Cosa si riferisce?

To add to the confusion, here is the actual death record of Antonia Misciagna: https://s9.postimg.org/eamw3wq5b/Misciagna_Antonia_d_1837.jpg Note that the death was reported by Vito Campanelli. It goes on to say that Vito is the son of Donato Cavalaggi. How can the son and the father have different ...

Yes, I am aware of Giuseppe's son in law, Vito Francesco Scarola who was married to his daughter Maria Campanelli. The wife's surname is the big problem, considering that she was still alive at the time of Giuseppe's death, her surname should have been known. Possibly, his wife was previously marrie...

I do not think that this Giuseppe Campanelli is him. The wife is wrong. His wife was Antonia Misciagna and she was still alive in 1832 (having died in 1837), so Giuseppe could not have re-married. I also am not aware of a son named Vito, though given that I have only found one child, that is certain...

Always possible, but given his wife and daughter both died in Grumo and he died sometime between their two deaths, it seems unlikely.

Antonia Misciagna was the widow of Giuseppe Campanelli when she died at age 70 in Grumo Appula, Bari, Italy on June 25, 1837, record # 65. Therefore, her husband, Giuseppe Campanelli either died in 1837 or earlier. When their daughter Maria Campanelli died in Grumo on May 29, 1829 (record # 80), her...

Thank you. I think I have solved the Teresa Frizzale-Rifino puzzle. At that same address, four years apart, Teresa Frizzale, then Teresa Rifino gave birth with the same husband, Evangelista Ninivaggi. Neither died because records for Teresa Frizzale and Teresa Rifino continue afterwards. Therefore, ...

Thanks, Biff.

Thanks again Tessa. Kind of sad that his listed emergency contact - his brother Gaetano Puma had died the year before of the Spanish Flu at age 33.

Thank you very much.

Biff, did my grandfather enlist or was he drafted? I thought that he was drafted.
