Looking for Siblings of my Great-Grandfather Rappa

[Lisapeters65]

Hello again, Hope you’re all having a great weekend!
I’m trying to add to my tree, and surely my great-grandfather Vincenzo Rappa born in 1871 would have had siblings.
Would anyone care to try and find more children of Domenico Rappa and Elizabetta Cusumano that were born probably in the 1870’s?
Thanks in advance.
Lisa

Thanks for the "heads-up" Marty

Luckily, what I found and posted above are not duplications of what you posted in the other thread!

Thank you!
Finding who Caterina and Giuseppe married would be helpful, then I could maybe find their children too.

Ohhhhh....Awwww, that’s too bad!
Thanks for finding that.

[Lisapeters65]

I’m not sure where I got this, but I have a Cira Rappa on my tree as a daughter of Domenico Rappa and Elisabetta Cusumano.
There’s a birth document with it, I’ll try to attach here.
Could you find if she ever grew up and married?
Thanks!

Here is a daughter, Caterina Rappa, born to the couple in 1869.

Thanks, I would think that she must have died too, since they gave the same name to the one you found that was born after her in 1876.
