I don't know the relationship of Maria Guastella (wife of Gaetano Taglialavore) and Antonia Guastella (wife of Francesco Miliano). That is an issue I have been trying to resolve for years.

No, Giovanni Angelo Taglialavore is not a direct line for me. My line is as follows:

Gaetano Taglialavore and ...

Gaetano Taglialavore and Maria Guastella are my family, through their son, Antonino. I have done the research on many other Taglialavore families in case I can one day link them together. At this time, I still have not found the information that will do that. I need to find out the parents of both ...

Was the link of Maria Angela Carubia, wife of Antonino Martorana and Lucia Taglialavore, wife of Angelo Scardino ever figured out?

Maria Angela Carubia's mother was Giacoma Taglialavore; Giacoma the daughter of Giovanni Taglialavore and Onofria Pendino

Lucia Taglialavore's father is Clemente ...

Marcello,
None of those names are ones I have come across yet, but will keep the information in case I can eventually link them up.

1. Antonino Taglialavore, born (nascita) 1846, married (sposito) Paola Pinelli. They settled in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S. This is my family.

2. Eucenzio Taglialavore, married (sposito) Francesca Rizzo. They ...

Thanks to both of you for the response - and yes, some translator programs really do make a mess of things, especially when you can't make out the spelling of the word correctly!

Although I cannot tell you anything about the Musacchia's that you requested, I was wondering if you are related to the Frank Musacchia family that lived in Algiers, part of the New Orleans area? They are distant cousins of mine who lived down the street from me when I was a kid.

I have an old document and ran it through a translation site. I got enough words translated to know what it is stating and assume it is an Italian Birth Certificate. It states:

COMUNE Di Salaparuta

Officio Dello Stato Civile

II sottoscritto Ufficiale certifica

Che Mandina Gaetano
figlio di Paolo ...

Thanks for the suggestions. There is a FHL not far from where I live and yet, I've never found time to go there. Now would probably be a good time

I have researched the surname in various spellings: Taglialavore, Tagliavore, Taglavore, and have found many in the United States. They mostly come from Agrigento Province; mainly Calamonaci, Cianciana, and Ribera. I can research each family back to the original ancestor who Immigrated to the U.S ...
