I would greatly appreciate a translation of the notation in the side margin, bottom right, #213. Thanks!

I am curious as to the translation also, as I see names/locales I've tied to my mtDNA matches...

The surname (cognome) of the deceased was changed by the court (26 Janauary 1875) because it was in error.
Girolamo's surname is Giambalvo, not Cusenza.

Matt, the surname of Giambalvo (albeit indirectly) and the commune of Santa Margherita di Belice loom large in my mtDNA research -- do you by any chance know of any family members from the area that may have migrated north into the Italian peninsula..? I am trying to connect the dots to 2 distant locations but am hitting brick walls on both sides...

Thank you so much T. I'm not sure if it says anything regarding it, but from my research I believe the mother's maiden name was actually Cusenza.

Hi Mark,
Unfortunately I'm not aware of anything like that, but I do have plenty of family from Santa Margherita. (A few surnames include: Marino, Turano, Serra, Ciraolo, Rabito, Serra, Giambalvo)

Edit to add: In your post earlier this week regarding Vito Giambalvo, are you related to him or his wife Maria Marino? Vito is my 6th cousin, 5x removed and Maria is my 1st cousin 5x removed.

Matt, my closest mtDNA match is a Dr John Stefano (NY, US). I traced his line back. Vito Giambalvo was the earliest ancestor on his tree, but the mtDNA veered off from Vito's son's wife.

I have lots of DNA matches from Santa Margherita & environs, but no direct connections except as noted above.

I checked my DNA matches & 2 of them have Cusenza's in their trees...

Have another mtDNA match with the surname of Catania that has ties to Santa Margherita which I followed back a few generations, but still no connection...

Girolama's surname is Giambalvo, not Cusenza.

That makes some sense here.

It appears that the clerk mixed up the surnames. In the record the mother's surname is given as some misspelling(?) of Giambalvo... He lists Girolama's mother as Francesca Giamfaolo. Maybe the clerk was having a difficult day, or rather evening. The record was made at 9 PM
