Last Name of Gaetano's Mother?

Post by CaptainCatholic »

Hello everyone!

I found another death certificate of one of my ancestors! For the life of me, I cannot read his mother's maiden name!

My 5th-Great-Grandfather was Gaetano Ré, here is his death certificate:

Is anyone able to make out his mother's maiden name? (Giacoma... something?).

Thanks so much for any help! :-)

Ah, "Ventorella," fantastic, thanks so much Angela!! I could not make out the "V" (wasn't sure what it was), and the "r" as well (was thinking it was an "N").

"Lascari!!!" Excellent, was having trouble reading that too.

Thanks so much again Angela! :-) Always so exciting to uncover additional names of my great-grandparents!!

You are very welcome for the help. Ventorella is a name that definitely appears in both towns. I also checked for Ventonella. I definite read an "r".

Have a good one.

Angela :)
