Help with a few words

Post by lynnef »

I'm unsure of the ages of Giovanbattista Guarna and Rosa Mammolenti...also Rosa's mother's last name. Thanks. :)

Giovannbattista Gurna (only one "a") is identified as age 24.
Rosa is identified only as a minor.
Rosa's mother's surname looks like Fredina, though the spelling in Reggio Calabria is Frandina.

Ahh...so it is Gurna...thank you! (Someone else on this board had mentioned it was spelled Guarna).

Oh...a minor...so what age would you guess, Tessa? And, was that common?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks again, Tessa.
I checked surnames in Reggio Calabria - the surname Gurna does NOT exist... however, Guarna does.

Possibly just an error in spelling by the clerk. There is a surname Gurnari... :-)
