Baratta-Ruffalo

[mjclayton1]

Hey, Everyone-

I have the linked docs to 10 pages of Notifications for an 1855 marriage in Marano Marchesato, Cosenza. Some of the names and dates of the various records are difficult to decipher. I'm looking for names and dates of all relevant parties. Really, any information at all.

Groom: Santo Baratta, son of deceased Gaspare (age 40 when Santo was born - YOB?) and of Maria di Simone (age 38 when Santo was born)?

Bride: Carolina Ruffalo, age 22 (born in 1832), daughter of Vincenzo (?) age ? and Angela ???

I have the FHC link below. Also, a few of the summary docs (and everything in between, if needed).

1150 to 1160 of Film # 007853934 (1855)

Thanks,
Mark

The link to records can only be viewed at a Family History Center or participating library, so I can only tell you what I see in the images you posted.

Second page of marriage act:
The act of notification resulting in no opposition to the marriage.
Finally, the mother of the groom was present to give consent.
Following this is the list of witnesses to the recording of the act.

If you can post the images from the allegati of the death acts for Gaspare Baratta, Gaetano Baratta, Vincenzo Ruffalo, Gaspare Ruffalo, and Angela Panio(sp?) - I can give you the years of their deaths and the approx. years of their births...

For your first three images posted after the original post...

The records are VERY light and difficult to read with accuracy...

#67 - dated 24 October 1832
Father: Vincenzo Ruffalo 33, shepherd residing in Marano
Mother: Angela Panio(?) [still too difficult to read], 27
Child was born on the 24th at home, and given the name CAROLINA
Baptism on 24 October.

Act of death #63 - dated 28 December 1824
Death on the 28th at 8 AM at his home - Gaspare Baratta, born in Marano; son of deceased Gaetano, laborer and of deceased Innocenza Cascarella, laborer; husband of Maria di Bartolo.

Act of death of Anna Panaio(?) is much too difficult to read even with several enlargements. Perhaps you can get a sharper image?

A few more...

Here are the rest...

The death act of Angela Panza/Panio/Panaio(?) - #34
Dated 7 September 1850 in Marano Marchesato
Declarants: Giuseppe di Bartolo, 50, laborer; Giacomo Marrone, 38, laborer
At her home died Angela Panza(?), born in Castelfranco to deceased Domenico, and to deceased "no name"; she was age 50, farmer, and widow of Vincenzo Ruffalo

Death act of Vincenzo Ruffalo - #45
Dated 3 June 1843 in Marano Marchesato - died on 3rd
Declarants: Pietro Cosentino, 50, laborer: Giacomo Marrone, 40, laborer
At his home died Vincenzo Ruffalo, born in Marano to deceased Gaspare who was a shepherd, and to deceased Rosa Gentile; Vincenzo was age 48, a shepherd and the husband of Angela Panza(?)

Angela Panza(?) is indicated as born in Castelfranco. There is no village or town in Cosenza Province or in Calabria Region with this name that I could find. There are many in other Provinces with this name.
You may want to search for a marriage of Vincenzo Ruffalo and Angela Pan?? about 1810 or earlier if records are available. Maybe you can get more information about her birth.

T-

You're incredible. Thanks very much for this. When I was at the local FHC on Saturday, I was trying to look for better quality (underlying) docs of the noted Allegati records, but I couldn't make out the dates, so I was effectively stymied from the get-go. However, to the extent that you've now identified several years for me here I imagine that I'll be able to find better copies. I will endeavor to do this at a later date, as it's both Thanksgiving week (and I'll be traveling) and also the FHC here will be closed for a spell, so delays in this regard might be unavoidable.

Thanks again!
