Hello! Can someone take a look at this Atto Di Morte for me when they have a moment? It's number 33....can you clarify the mother's last name? Also...I have some experience with researching other town's registries..but have never come across the last name ( for the deceased individual) as it Iis written here...is that Spanish influenced? I noticed it on many Atto's as I was scrolling through..and I was wondering if that indicated some Spanish blood/ancestry. I know Sicily was ruled by Spain for about 200 years...and that many Spanish Jews settled in Sicily too....but this just made me curious. Any insight you can give would be helpful! Thank you!

Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto was formed from the merger of 2 towns, Barcellona and Pozzo di Gotto. Barcellona was founded by Spaniards, which is why you find many people around there with Spanish surnames. My GGF's 2nd wife was from Barcellona PdG and her surname was Fernandez. (But my GGF and my GGM were also from there and their surnames were purely Italian - it's not like most people from the town are necessarily of Spanish descent.)
