Searching for Info on Great Grandparents

Post by MAJ »

I am hoping someone here can help me out. I have been searching for information on my great-grandparents and am at a dead end.

Names: Salvatore Buglino and Gaetana Lodi
Location: Palermo, Sicily (Brancaccio neighborhood)
Children: Concetta 1904; Pasquale 1905, Baldasarre (birth year unknown). I believe there was also a Pasquale born in 1902 who I assume died prior to 1905. There are also younger children but I do not have their names.

I have searched Ancestry.com and have come up with nothing.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

This MAY be the sister of Salvatore Buglino... Maria - in 1886
She is marrying Salvatore Clemente - who may be the same Salvatore Clemente who acts as a witness to the recording of the birth of Pasquale 16 years later, in the act I posted above.

Maria resides at the same "address" as the one on the birth of Salvatore's son, Via S. Giovanni
Maria's father's name is Pasquale - which would agree with the Italian naming tradition, that Salvatore Buglino name his first son Pasquale. Of course we can not assume that Pasquale was Salvatore's first son... :-)

IF THIS IS Salvatore's sister - we have the names of his parents! :-)
Translation of marriage record
#51
Dated 30 July 1886 in Palermo
Salvatore Clemente, widower, age 37, landowner born in Brancaccio, residing in Acquasanta, son of deceased Antonino [Clemente] and deceased Luisa Albanese.
Maria Buglino, unmarried, age 18, born in Palermo, residing at Via S. Giovanni, daugher of Pasquale [Buglino] and of Rosalia La Cascia, both residing there.

Another resource is the Palermo Births Index done by Hugh Tornabene

https://sites.google.com/site/palermobirths2/home

Palermo Births from 1896 - 1905
Here are the listings... same as what you know and we have located...
Buglino Pasquale Salvatore Lodi Gaetana 14 05 1902 Branc 455 0216
Buglino Concetta Salvatore Lodi Gaetana 28 01 1904 Branc 491 0047
Buglino Pasquale Salvatore Lodi Gaetana 12 12 1905 Branc 512 0546

* * * * * * * * * * * *
In Hugh Tornabene's index of marriages from 1820 to 1895...

There is the marriage of Maria Buglino, daughter of Pasquale and of Rosalia LoCascio - to Salvatore Clemente on 30 July 1886
AND
This MAY BE the marriage of Maria's (and possibly Salvatore's) parents in 1862! :-)
Buglino Pasquale Pietro D'Angalo Maria Citta 24 ottobre 1862v. 42n. 0951LoCa/ scio Rosaria

The above entry would read: Pasquale Buglino, son of Pietro and of Maria D'Angalo[D'Angelo], married in the city of Palermo on 24 October 1862, #42, to Rosaria LoCascio

NOTE: The surname for Maria's mother ends in "o"...

Correction to above listing of marriage register number ... it is #951

Found a listing in Hugh Tornabene's site - though hard to read - of a possible birth index for Salvatore Buglino, son of Pasquale, and Rosaria LoCascio, born 23 February 1865 in Palermo City. I am not sure but I think the register number is 987 (but could be 287) :-)
