Thank you Livio. I only worked this out myself and was going to post but I wasn't exactly sure what it was and that you could die from Hypertrophy?

It's so great that in these records they include how the deceased died?

Thank you once again Angela & Livio, your help is as always greatly appreciated.

Does Sicily recycle the graves or are the old graves still intact ?

You are very welcome, Gary. Maybe you could start a separate post about what happens to the graves in Sicily. There are lot of volunteers on the forum, with roots in Sicily, who would know this and make a more informed reply.

Correct spelling of deceased's mother = Iuppa
