10 year death index help needed

Post by scraig32 »

I am trying to find the death record for Teodosia Peres. I find her here on the 10 year index for Palermo but do not understand which part of Palermo I would look in to find the actual record. Usually, I see the name of the town listed but am unable to locate the town in this index listing. I see that she died January 26, 1894. I see "uff" but do not understand what or where that means. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

You won't find 1894 death on Antenati.
They are available on FamilySearch, but can be seen only at a Family History Center:

That's disappointing. Thank you for letting me know. Maybe someday they will be available.

The reason I was looking for that record was because the parents of Teodosio Peres- deceased are listed as Antonino Peres and Marianna Napolitani- oddly similar (except for last letters) of the Ippolita Perez, adopted daughter, and illegitimate granddaughter of the Prince of Castleforte, that you have been helping me with in another post. If you recall Ippolita's given name at baptism included the name Teodosio. If this death record were for the same family- Teodosia appears to be the name of Ippolita's older sister. Perhaps Ippolita was named after her. And of course, Teodosio was named after someone herself (grandmother, etc). You know me, always coming up with a theory, :-)

Thank you for your help once again.

The index is for Teodosia, not Teodosio.
Reading more carefully the family council report, I see Teodosia is mentioned in image #1164, top right, as Ippolita's sister (though, I think, there was no reason to mention her).

Thank you so much! So sorry, I see now that I typed Teodosio in my post when I meant Teodosia. Thank you for the great info.
