Navarro family Trabia Palermo Sicily

Thanks for the reply, Marty. She died in Campofelice in 1892. The record is in on FamilySearch under Palermo, Campofelice Morti 1862-1910 on page 627. What does that last name look like to you? Sanzone? Sansone? Lanzone? Is it Rosalia or Rosalea?

[liviomoreno]

I read Rosalia Lanzone

[carubia]

It's obviously Rosalia (Rosalea is not an Italian name), but I disagree on the surname. At first I thought Lanzone, too, but after examining all the capital L's and S's on that sheet, it seems that it is more likely Sanzone, a normal Western Sicilian name. Look at the word "sessanta" for the age in the death record in the upper-right corner. The first "s" is identical to the first letter of her surname. Also look at the word "Sindaco" near the top of her death record. That's the same. The "S" in Settembre in the first line of the upper-right record is also very similar.

OTOH, the capital L's in her husband's name (Leonardo), in the name Luigi of the man who died in the lower right, and in the name of the man who reported both her death and the one in the lower right corner (Pietro La Russa) do not look like the first letter of her name. However, the first letter of Pietro's name in the upper right record (he reported all the births on this sheet) does look like the first letter in her name, so I can't be certain it's not Lanzone.

I would say Rosalia Sanzone

The name Navarra/Navarro supposedly originally derived from Spanish, where it also is a surname and denotes someone from the old Kingdom of Navarre or a Basque-speaking person in general. In Sicily it is found mainly in the western parts, currently as Navarra but in the past with either spelling. For example, the famous poet Vincenzo Navarro had the surname Navarra in Ribera where he was born, but was known as Navarro in Sambuca where he died. I have some ancestors named Navarra from the city of Agrigento, who moved to Ribera in the late 18th c., but the name was so common that we probably couldn't find a common ancestor, and any connection to Spain is probably hundreds of years earlier.

My great grandmother was Mary Maria Navarra, married to an orphan, Salvatore D'Agro, and they were from Trabia, Sicily. They had seven children, Angelina, Mary Therese, Charles, Salvatore (Tooty), Phillip, Joseph, Rosalyn. They came over to America from Trabia, Sicily around 1905, supposedly working the railroads which brought them west eventually settling in Indianapolis, Indiana. My great grandfather Salvatore ( now "Dargo" because D'Agro sounded like the derogatory "dago.") originally had a fruit cart, then added a donkey and bought a house on Stevens Street in Indianapols. My great grandmother, Mary Maria, took the money they saved from pedaling fruit and bought their first house in cash. Salvatore and his brother in law, Michael ( Miccele) Navarra are two of the five italian men sitting with the priest, Father Pritori as the founding board of The Holy Rosary Church in Indy. The family of boys opened up fruit markets that eventually brought them to Muncie, Indiana with their final store, the Ideal Fruit Market, which closed in the mud 1970s. My mother, Mary Elaine Italiano was the daughter of Mary Therese and her husband from New Orleans, Vincent Francis Italuano.

born in Campofranco son of deceased Calogero D'Agro and Angela Tagliarino

Maybe you should clarify that the record specifically states that Salvatore's mother Angela Tagliarino was alive and living in Campofranco at the time of his marriage.

Marty

I thought that a person is an orphan when one of his parents is dead, therefore Salvatore was on orphan when he married Maria Navarra

[adelfio]

I picture a orphan with no parents as a child definition of orphan= a child who has lost both parents through death, or, less commonly, one parent that's why I ask the user
I found these records he was a orphan as a child

I guess the 1897 marriage record was in error.
