Ten mother church baptism records have been found for the children of Joseph and Francesa Marinello as follows — Vita Antonia Caterina Gaetano was born and baptized on August 19, 1656, and named with the female version of her paternal grandfather with a middle name of both of her grandmothers; Anna Vita Angela Cajetana (Latin for Gaetana) was born and baptized on the night of May 30, 1659; ancestor Stefano; Caterina was born and baptized as Catherina Anna on November 10, 1666, and married Stefano Caraci in 1682; Cosma Cunsula Calogera was born on September 26, 1669, and baptized the next day; Leonardus Antoninus Santus on February 8, 1671, who died at 18 months old on August 10, 1672; Leonardus Ignatius Calogerus was born and baptized in the evening of November 28, 1672; Vincenzus Vitus on March 27, 1674; Vita Maria Sebastiana was born on January 20, 1677, and baptized the next day; and Anna Maria Angela, who was born on March 7, 1679, and baptized the next day. There is one other son named Onofrio, who married Accursia Caraci on the same day as his sister Caterina married Accursia’s brother, but a baptism record could not be found for Onofrio. It is not known when Giuseppe and Francesca died, but he was already deceased and she was alive when their daughter Caterina was married on November 20, 1682. They both were listed as deceased when their son, ancestor Stefano was married on May 1, 1686. This means Giuseppe died sometime within the more than 3 year period between his last child being born in 1679 and Caterina’s marriage in 1682. Francesca died sometime within the more than 3 year period between Caterina’s marriage in 1682 and Stefano’s marriage in 1686. Unfortunately, Sciacca burial records are missing after 1674 up until 1690, so nothing else is known about them. |

Only five Sciacca baptism records were found, all in the St. Michele parish, for the children of Petro and Joanella Marinello as follows — Giacomo was baptized as Jacopo Antonino on June 13, 1589; Antonino on March 13, 1591, who married Caterina Bruno, the daughter of ancestors Giuseppe Vincenzo Bruno and his wife Pietra Musca; Francesco Vito on March 16, 1594; Vita Maria on March 20, 1596; and ancestor Vito. No other baptism records were found for their children, so it is assumed Giovanna died and Pietro remarried. Unfortunately, burial records are not available for research before 1606.

There is an undated notarial marriage contract entry, which was filed by Sciacca notary Martino Russo in the 1589-90 papers, in Pellegrino Mortillaro’s transcription book, Andrea Randazzo un notaio storico Volume Primo, between Pietro Antonio Fazio and Elisabetta Canicani. She was most likely ancestor Pietro Antonio’s first wife. They had a son named Pietro, named after his paternal grandfather, who was baptized as Petro Paolo on October 29, 1588. There is a another child who could be this couple’s son, Giacomo, as that was the name of Elisabetta’s father. A St. Michele marriage record dated August 8, 1627, exists for Jacobi de Fazio, son of the deceased Pietro Antonino Fazio, but a mother’s name is not listed. No other baptism records for their children have been found, do it is assumed Elisabetta died. Pietro Antonio then married a woman who used two different given names, Maria and Leonora. A Sciacca marriage record or marriage contract entry could not be found for them, but it is most likely that they married in the St. Michele church, as these records do not begin until 1607. Seven Sciacca St. Michele parish baptism records have been found for the children of Petro Antonino and either Maria or Leonora di Fazio as follows — Francesco Antonio was baptized on December 11, 1598, with his mother listed as Leonora, and grew up to marry Antonia Lauria Noto in Sciacca; ancestor Caterina was named after her paternal grandmother, her mother was listed as Maria on her baptism record, but Leonora on her marriage record; Antonino was baptized with his mother listed as Maria, on April 28, 1605; Maria was baptized on January 11, 1606, with her mother listed as Leonora; Mattheo was baptized on April 13, 1608, with his mother listed as Maria; Giuseppe was baptized as Joseph Jo: on July 12, 1610, with his mother listed as Leonora; and Luciana, whose parents are listed as the deceased Petro Antonini and Maria di Fazzio, was baptized on December 8, 1611, seven months after her father died. It should be noted that their daughter Maria mentioned above married Biaggio Rizzuto, the son of ancestors Caterina Genoisi and Vincenzo Rizzuto on February 7, 1627.

Giacomo Marinello’s ancestry is unknown, but he lived and raised a family in the mother church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy. A Sciacca church marriage record or contract entry has not been found for his name, but church records before 1568 are not available for research. There are twelve mother church baptism records for the children of Jacopo Marinello, but only the last one lists a mother’s name which is difficult to read, but looks like Petviza. It is not known for certain that all 12 are for the same Jacopo, which is Giacomo in Italian, but they are as follows —Vito Filippo was baptized as Vito Pho on November 13, 1544; Gesimunda on April 25, 1547; Matteo on September 22, 1549; Sigismunda Calogera on January 28, 1552; ancestor Pietro; Calogera on March 4, 1557, who married Andria Bacchi on November 12, 1576; Giovanna was baptized as Joannella on July 11, 1559, but may have died young; Silvestro on July 21, 1561; another Giovanna as Joannella on November 10, 1562; Vincenzo was baptized as Vinc’zo Joanni on December 26, 1564; Giovanni as Jo: Ant’no on October 13, 1566; and Leonardo who was baptized as Nardo on January 21, 1572.

Pietro Fazio was the son of Giovanni Fazio and his unknown wife. It is not known when and where he was born, but he lived and raised a family in the mother church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy. On June 20, 1549, Sciacca notary Bartolomeo Modica filed a notarial marriage contract for Pietro to marry Caterina Perrono. Her ancestry is unknown, as a Sciacca church marriage record could not be found for them. It should be noted that Sciacca church marriage records for this time period are not available for research.

Antonino Leo’s ancestry is uncertain, but he married and raised a family in the mother church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy. There are four different marriage documents, two contracts and two Sciacca mother church records for his name to three different woman. They could be for the same Antonino or three different men. The dates suggest these records are for the same man, but it is impossible to know for sure, as church marriage records are not available for research before 1568. The first is a notarial marriage contract dated January 1, 1555, to an Arcangela Bicchetta; the next one is also a contract that is dated September 7, 1561, to a Giovannilla Brixa; There are 14 Sciacca mother church baptism records for children of Antonino di Leo, and only three list a mother as Angela. The first five are believed to be the children of Arcangela Bicchetta as follows — Angila, baptized on November 9, 1553, before the contract date; Bradamante Joannella on February 28, 1556; Angilella Lauria on January 19, 1557; Filippo was baptized as Pho on February 5, 1559; and Onofria, who was baptized as Nofria Antonella on January 28, 1560. On two of these records the father is listed as Ant’no di Petro di Leo, meaning Antonino the son of Pietro Leo. This usually is done when there are two or more men with the same name. The next four baptism records are probably for the children of Giovannilla Brixa as follows — Geronimo Fanuzo on January 7, 1562; Joannella on June 24, 1564; Nardo Raphaeli on December 6, 1565; and Narduza Joannella on September 4, 1567. The last five are all believed to be the children of ancestor Angela Coxa. The first two and the fourth child list Angela as the mother, as follows — Julia on February 4, 1571; ancestor Francesco; Angela Joanella on April 13, 1578; Giovanni, named after his maternal grandfather was baptized as Jo: Vinco Joseppi on November 17, 1579; and Leonara Ortencia on June 8, 1583, who married Colantonio Barresi on June 27, 1605. Note that none of these children were named Pietro. It is not known when Angela and Antonino died, but they were deceased when their son, ancestor Francesco was married on May 28, 1596. Unfortunately, at this time, nothing else is known about them. |
