Since Pacifico's wife died in 1849, would he have been allowed to re marry? from Pacifico's death record it showed him being a widow of different woman. This is the first time I have heard of Teresa Rossolini.
also to make sure Vincenzo's Godmother her name is Maria Baccelli Mosca? Baccelli being her second name?
Thanks again for all your help!!!
Looking for the surnames Mosca( Marches ), Pizzoglio (Piedmonte), Chiacchiera, Lobasso(Bari), Gallo(Malvito), Azzolina (Messina).
Since Pacifico's wife died in 1849, would he have been allowed to re marry? from Pacifico's death record it showed him being a widow of different woman. This is the first time I have heard of Teresa Rossolini. Yes, as a widower he would have been free to marry again. AND... sometimes only the last spouse is mentioned on the death act. There are records that do show all spouses of a deceased. This Teresa Rossolini was for certain the mother of Vincenzo.
also to make sure Vincenzo's Godmother her name is Maria Baccelli Mosca? Baccelli being her second name? This one confused me as well. It certainly looks like her name is Maria Baccelli. This Baccelli COULD be a second name or it COULD be a married name (some towns in early records showed it this way). Her father has the surname MOSCA, but I can not even tell you definitely that his given name is Pasquale... it is just my educated guess
