The surname in Sant'Agata di Puglia is MALAMISURA.

Unfortunately, online death acts are only available through 1899.

Sometimes we can find extracts of death in the marriages of their children. Did any of Maria Luigia and Alfonso CAUTILLO (spelling in Foggia Province) children marry in Italy?
Can you provide names and approx. dates?

Thanks, I will write using Google translate English to Italian. I did take Italian in college but that was 50 years ago.
