I have Philippa Ferranti Maybe the 29 of Jun 1838 Widow age 65 thats about all I can figure out So how do I know if she is the spouse of my Vincenzo Geluso? are parents name listed Ugh this is hard!
30 (trigesima) Jun 1838. Yes, a widow of about age 65. Unfortunately her spouse's name is not indicated, and since she was married her parents aren't either. There's no easy way to determine her husband's name. However, since this was from 1838 in Sicily, a civil record for the death should exist, although you'd probably have to view the microfilm to see it.

Ever since I was a little boy, my dad would show me my great grandfather's card, and tell me that he was a count in Italy. I was always intrigued by that, but never really thought about asking my grandmother questions, or anyone else for that matter. About ten years ago, as more and more information...
