Hi Everyone: I do hope everyone is healthy. I have more time to do researching now that we are in self-quarantine.
I am trying to translate the marriage record of Francesco Cappadona & Caterina Napoli. This would be the brother of my great-grandmother. Here is the link:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=1946858
I have been able to translate the following (please correct any errors or add anything important that I could not read):
Date: Sept. 23, 1894, Librizzi
Groom: Francesco Cappadona, age 24, born in Librizzi, son of Carmelo Cappadona (living in Montagnareale and the late Vennera Matafu, was a resident of Montagnareale. Living in Oliveri?
Bride: Caterina Napoli, age 24, daughter of the late Santo and Carmela Salimeri.
I thought I had all the siblings and just heard about Francesco. I can't seem to find his birth in the family search records for Librizzi.
I thank you in advance for your time and any assistance.

It is hoped that the research I am doing helps to discover, preserve and celebrate my family history.

Re: Francesco Cappadona & Caterina Napoli Marriage
Thank you Livio! I found, what I think is a birth record for Francesco Cappadona. Here is the link:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=1946858
I think it is dated 1894 for the birth. However, the side bar lists a marriage to Caterina Napoli. I'm not sure what this is.
