Genelogy Pedigree - In Sicilian?

Post by sbiondo257 »

I've recently come into possession of some genealogy stuff from my Great Aunt. This poorly copied paper was included, but I don't know what it is or says. I believe it is a family pedigree or sorts and there's writing in what I think is Sicilian on the bottom, but I cannot read it. Is anyone able to make heads or tales of this?

It's not a pedigree.
It's a sort of map of land, with the names of owners.
The writing at the bottom says "these are the names of the ? of the land near his (land)"

I am fairly sure that it says "partiti" which is odd in this context. Normally that means a political party or at least a faction of some sort. Could it be that the note references other parties holding land near his as if they are part of a group, maybe in a dispute or something like that?

Thanks so much! Does anyone know what the word next to that square box says on the map? I think this might be a map of relative back in Cinisi because my Great Aunt said she found it in her Father's stuff

I read "partiti", too, but the one meaning I can guess is "owners of a part".
Near the square box maybe it's "via" ?
Where should this map be from?
