Help translating a death record

Post by frankdamore »

Hello,

Would someone be kind enough to help me understand what this death record states?

I found this and believe it could be my second Great Grandmother.

Any info that you could share about the attached record would be much appreciated.


Thanks!

Sorry for the multiple attachments.

This is what happens when you get up too early and go to bed too late. Thanks, Livio, for your second set of eyes!

This Calogera Russo was my 6th cousin 3 times removed. She was born on 4 Mar 1874 and married Sebastiano Galletta on 12 Jan 1890. After her death her husband married her sister Laura. I can trace Calogera's ancestry back 10 generations in some directions. Was she in fact your 2nd GGM?

You can see her in my tree on Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/pe ... 5961/facts
