Salvadore Montalbano was born about 1757, the son of Michele Montalbano and his wife Angela Catania. He was most likely born in Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy. On some records his name is listed as Santo, but on his granddaughter, ancestor Paolina’s consent to marry 1834 Brevetto document, her grandfather is listed as Salvadore.

On April 7th, 14th and 21st, church banns were read for Salvatore to marry Francesca Cusumano. She was born in Sciacca on January 29, 1757, and baptized in the mother church parish there the next day as Francesca Paula, the daughter of Fara Galluzzo and her husband Luciano Cusumano. (Mouse over and click on her Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Salvadore and Francesca married on April 28, 1782, at the mother church in Sciacca. (Mouse over and click on their Latin church marriage record image upper left to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

Salvadore and Francesca had at least four children together, all born and baptized and baptized in the mother church parish of Sciacca on the dates shown — Angela Paula Maria on April 22, 1783, who died within two months on June 18, 1783; Angela Giovanna Ignazia was born on April 15, 1784, baptized the next day and married her second husband, Giuseppe Ciaccio on December 31, 1831, in Sciacca; ancestor Fara, and Joseph Salvatore on July 19 1789.

What we know of Salvadore and Francesca comes from their daughter’s records. Santo is listed as a a deceased Mariniaro, a seaman, on Fara’s death record. It also states both of her parents lived in Sciacca. On Angela’s second marriage record they are listed as both deceased. This record also gives us the name of Salvadore’s father, Michele. In Angela’s second marriage processetti, which is written in Latin, there is a one page document which has the death statements for all three ancestors. This statement was written by a clergyman from the chapel of Mary Magdalena, so it is assumed they all died in Sciacca. (Mouse over and click on the death statement image right to enlarge in a new window/tab.) They are listed in the following order. Her father Salvadore, was listed as Salvatore, died on June 7, 1812, at 55 years old, which puts his birth about 1757. Her grandfather Michele is listed as Michael, died on April 22, 1784, at 70 years old, which makes his birth about 1714. Both Michele and Salvadore were buried in St Francesci. (This is probably incorrect, see more about Michele's death in his bio below.) This document goes on to say that her mother, Francisca Montalbano died on December 9, 1818, six and a half years after her husband at the age of 60, which calculates her birth to about 1758, and she was buried in St Dominici. This cannot be the correct death year for ancestor Francesca Cusumano because her husband Salvadore remarried in 1791! There is a Sciacca Latin Church marriage record for “Salvadore Montalbano, widow of Francesca Cusumano son of Michele and Angela Catania,” who married Maria Patronaggio on February 10, 1791, with marriage banns being read in January. (Mouse over and click on Salvadore's Latin church second marriage record image lower left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) This can only mean the Francesca that died sometime between the birth of  her son Joseph in 1789 and 1791, the year he remarried. If it is her death record statement with an incorrect death year, dying at 60 years old would make her much older than Salvadore.

Salvadore’s second wife Maria was about 14 years younger than him. They had at least two children born in Sciacca and baptized at the mother church there— Michael Andreus Gaspare, named after his father’s father on July 30, 1791; and Vincenza Francesca, on August 12, 1793, who married Francesco Allievo in Sciacca on February 5, 1821. Vincenza’s marriage document lists her father as deceased, which fits in with his death record statement above, and her mother as being 50 years old and living in the the convent of St. Francesco di Paola. Unfortunately, at this time, nothing else is known about them.

Michele Montalbano was born on October 4, 1701, in Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the son of Leonardo Montalbano and Maria Graffeo. He was baptized the next day in the St. Michele’s church parish as Michael Francesco. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

At 29 years old on July 30, 1730, he married Calogera LaRosa at the mother church in Sciacca. They probably had several other children besides these two, who were born late in the marriage and baptized in the mother church parish of Sciacca — Francesco Calogero on March 6, 1744; and Rosa Josepha who was born on October 26, 1746, and baptized the next day. Less than two months later, his wife Calogera died on December 20, 1746, probably from complications of the last birth. A year later on December 31, 1747, and January 1st and 6th of the next year, church banns were read for Michele to marry Angela Catania. She was probably born in Sciacca, the daughter of Anna Amplo and Dima Catania. Michele and Angela were married on January 28, 1748, at the mother church in Sciacca. (Mouse over and click on their Latin church marriage record left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) It is on this marriage record, that it states he was the widow of Calogera La Rosa.

In the Sciacca church records there is a family tree of sorts that shows Fara Montalbano’s ancestry. It is dated April 28, 1782, which is the wedding date for her parents Salvadore and Francesca. On the left side is the Montalbano line and on the right is the Cusumano ancestry beginning with Luciano. (Mouse over and click on this church ancestry record left to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

Michele and Angela had at least two other children other than ancestor Salvadore — a daughter named Maria who married Francesco Fiorentino, and died an 80 year-old widow in Sciacca on May 22, 1832; and Anna Josepha, who was born and baptized on November 14, 1752, at the mother church in Sciacca. They probably had several other children.

Although the death statement record in his son’s bio above states that Michele died in Sciacca on April 22, 1784, it is probably incorrect (see his death statement record in Salvadore’s bio above). On Salvadore’s April 28, 1782, marriage record, Michele is clearly listed as deceased. A 1784 death record for him can not be found and it makes more sense that the correct information would be on the marriage record.  It is not known when Angela died, but she was alive on April 28, 1782, the day her son ancestor Salvadore was married. Unfortunately, nothing else is known about them.

Luciano Cusumano was born on January 9, 1724, and baptized as Lucianus Aloysius the next day in the mother church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the son of Stefano Cusumano and his second wife Anna Liotta. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

On December 28th and 31st of 1745 and in the morning of January 9th, 1746 church banns were read for the 22 year-old Luciano to marry 18 year-old Fara Galluzzo. She was born on March 4, 1727, and baptized the next day as Epifania Francesca also in the mother church parish of Sciacca, the daughter of Maria Santangelo and her husband Calogero Galluzzo. (Mouse over and click on her Latin baptism record lower right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Luciano and Fara were married on January 9, 1746, at the mother church in Sciacca. (Mouse over and click on their Latin church marriage record left to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

Luciano and Fara had at least five children, all born and baptized in the mother church parish of Sciacca — Giovanna on July 13, 1749, who was baptized by the midwife because she was in imminent danger of death; Calogero Francesco was born on February 28, 1754, and baptized the next day; ancestor Francesca; Stephana Francesca Anna on October 26, 1760, was probably named after her father’s father, married Pellegrino Falco, and died in Sciacca a widow on December 15, 1833; and Stephanus Joseph on October 22, 1763, who was named after his father’s father as he was the first born son.

It is not known exactly when Luciano, his wife Fara died. He was alive, but Fara was deceased when their daughter Francesca was married on April 28, 1782. Unfortunately, for now, nothing else is known about them.

Leonardo Montalbano was probably born in Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the son of Francesco Montalbano and his wife Angela, whose surname is unknown. On October 10th, 17th and 28th of 1683, church banns were read for him to marry Maria Graffeo. She was born and baptized as Anna Maria Margarita on July 31, 1665, in the mother church parish of Sciacca, the daughter of Natale Graffeo and his wife Antonina Fiorentino. (Mouse over and click on her Latin baptism record right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Leonardo and 18 year-old Maria were married at St. Michele’s church in Sciacca on November 7, 1683. (Mouse over and click on their Latin church marriage record image right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

Leonardo and Maria had at least seven children all born and baptized in either the mother church parish or the St. Michele parish of Sciacca on the dates given — Francesco Paolo was born on August 29, 1688, and baptized the next day in the St. Michele parish; Ignazia Hieronyma Joanna was born and baptized on the evening of August 3, 1698, in the mother church parish; ancestor Michele; Diana Joanna was born and baptized on the evening of July 9, 1703, in the St. Michele parish; Calogero was born and baptized as Calogrus Domenicus Joannes on August 4, 1706, in the mother church parish; another Calogero was born on March 23, 1708, and baptized the next day as Calogerus Pietrus in the St. Michele parish; and Barbara Joanna, who was born and baptized on March 3, 1710, in the mother church parish. They may have had other children, but these are the documented ones found to date.

Nothing is known about Leonardo's parents, except that when he was married in 1683, his parents were still alive. It is also not known when Leonardo and Maria died, but they were deceased when their son, ancestor Michele was married on January 28, 1748. For now, this is all that is known about them.

~<^>~

Dima Catania was baptized as Dima Ignazio, on March 9, 1683, in the mother church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the son of Nunzio Catania and his wife Angela Gentili. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

On June 9th, 16th, and 18th of 1709, church banns were read at St Michele’s church in Sciacca for Dima to marry Anna Amplo. She was probably also from Sciacca, the daughter of  Magister (Master) Michele Amplo and his wife Rosalia Conti. Dima and Anna were married there five days later on June 23, 1709. (Mouse over and click on their Latin church marriage record image left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Their only known child was ancestor Angela.

Not much is known about Dima and Anna’s parents. Nunzio and Angela Catania had another son, Giuseppe, baptized at St. Michele’s church on February 25, 1679, as Joseph Mattius Honuphrius. They probably had several other children. It is also documented that both of their fathers, Nunzio and Michele, were deceased when Dima and Anna were married in 1709, but their mothers were still alive. It is also not known when Dima and Anna died, but he was deceased and she was alive when their daughter ancestor Angela was married on January 28, 1748. Unfortunately, nothing else is known about them.

Stefano Cusumano was born and baptized as Stephanius Vincenzius on November 22, 1663, at the parish church in Caltabellotta, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the eldest son of Natale Cusumano and his wife Consula, whose surname is unknown. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Sometime prior to the fall of 1691, Stefano was living in Sciacca, which is also in the province of Agrigento, but on the coast, and about 13 miles west of Caltabellotta.

On October 11th, 21st and 28th of 1691, church banns were read for Stefano to marry his first wife. Two weeks later on November 11, 1691, at the St. Vito Church in Sciacca, 28 year-old Stefano married 16 year-old Angela Ingrao. (Mouse over and click on Stefano and Angela's Latin church marriage record image upper left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Angela was the sister of ancestor Giacoma (who married Pietro Galluzzo), and daughter of ancestors Giuseppe Ingrao and Margarita Spataro. On Stefano and Angel's marriage document, both Natale and Consula’s names are listed as Stefano’s parents.

Strefano and Angela had at least six children together, five are documented as being baptized at St. Vito’s church in Sciacca — Natale, named after his father’s father, was born about 1696; Consola Rosalia was born on the morning of April 15, 1697, and baptized that same day; Margarita Cecilica, who was named after her maternal grandmother, was born and baptized on the evening of November 23, 1698; Anna Maria Leonarda was baptized born on the evening of March 11, 1702 and baptized the next day; Giuseppe, named after his maternal grandfather, was born on the morning of February 23, 1704, and baptized as Joseph Michele Damiano that same day; and Cosma Damiano Santo, who was born on the morning of October 16, 1707, and baptized that same day. Stefano’s wife Angela died at the age of 35, and was buried in the St. Vito cemetery on December 2, 1710.

On January 6th, 11th, and 19th of 1711, church banns were read at the St. Michele church in Sciacca for Stefano to marry Anna Liotta. She was born on the morning of September 17, 1683, and baptized the next day as Anna Petronella in the St. Michele’s parish of Sciacca, the daughter of Giovanna Giorgi and her husband Antonino Liotta. (Mouse over and click on her Latin baptism record on right middle to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Forty-seven year-old Stefano, widow of the deceased Angela Ingrao, and 27 year-old Anna married on February 1, 1711, at St. Michele’s church. (Mouse over and click on Stefano and Anna's Latin church marriage record image middle left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) On their marriage record Stefano’s parents are listed as Natale Cusumano and what looks like Margarita Favetta.

Stefano and Anna had at least nine children together, the first three baptized at St. Vito’s church, the next five at the mother church, and the last one at St. Michele’s. They are — Onofria Giovanna, named after her maternal grandmother, was born on November 30, 1711, and baptized as Honuphria Joanna the next day; Ignazia Leonarda, was born on February 19, 1713, and baptized the next day; Ignazio was born on May 11, 1714, and baptized as Ignatius Antoninus the next day; Giovanna was born on September 17, 1716, and baptized as Joanna Pellagrina the next day; Antonino Natali was born on the morning of December 25, 1717, and baptized that same day; Giovanna Barbara was born on October 5, 1719, and baptized the next day; Michele was born on January 28, 1722, and baptized as Michael Jacobo the next day; ancestor Luciano; and Vita Vincenza, who was born on the morning of June 15, 1728, and baptized that same day.

There is an April 13, 1714, Sciacca Rivelo (tax record) for this family. (Mouse over and click on the Rivelo image lower middle right to enlarge in a new window/tab.) It gives Stefano’s age as 40, which calculates his birth year to about 1674, 11 years younger than his actual age. His father is named and also his wife Anna, and six children as follows — 18 year-old Natale; 10 year-old Giuseppe; 5 year-old Damiano; Ignazio, an infant; and two daughters, whose ages are not listed, Margarita and Giovanna. Ancestor Luciano is not on the tax record because he was not born yet. Not much is written on this Rivelo, so it doesn’t seem they owned much.

Not much is known about Stefano’s parents. As noted above Stefano’s mother’s name differs on his two marriage documents. It may be that his birth mother Consula died and his father, Natale married Margarita, who may have raised Stefano.Unfortunately, Caltabellotta death and marriage records for the years needed to be researched are not available. On Sefano's second marriage record, it is difficult to make out the first letter of  Margarita’s surname, it could be Lavetta or Favetta. What is known is that Natale and Consula were both deceased when Stefano married Angela in 1691.

It is documented that both Anna and Stefano were alive when their eldest daughter, Onofria Giovanna was married on July 31, 1734. It is also documented that Stefano was deceased, but Anna was still alive when their son,ancestor Luciano was married on January 9, 1746. Stefano died and was buried at the Monte Carmelo Convent cemetery in Sciacca on April 11, 1735. His mother church death and burial record states he was about 60 years old, which is 11 years younger than his actual age of 71. (Mouse over and click on his Latin church burial record lower left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) More than 22 years later, Anna died at home and was buried in the St. Francesco Convent cemetery outside the city on January 4, 1758. Her mother church burial record lists her as Anna Cusumano about 70 years old, but she was actually 74 when she died. (Mouse over and click on her Latin church burial record lowest right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) For now, this is all that is known about them.

Calogero Galluzzo was born the morning of November 11, 1693, and baptized the same day as Calogerus Joannes Albertus Venantius, in the mother church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the son of Anna Ingrao and her husband Pietro Galluzzo. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

Church banns were read in 1716 on July 22nd, 25th and 26th for the 22 year-old Calogero to marry the 18 year-old Maria Santangelo. She was born on August 6, 1695, and baptized the next day in the St. Michele’s church parish of Sciacca as Maria Philippa, the daughter of Epifania Maglienti and her husband Angelo Santangelo. (Mouse over and click on her Latin baptism record lower right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Calogero and Maria were married at the mother church in Sciacca on August 15, 1716. (Mouse over and click on their Latin church marriage record left to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

Maria and Calogero had at least 13 children, all born in Sciacca and baptized in the mother church parish, except for one as noted — Giacomo, as Jacobo Salvatoro on May 3, 1717; Alberto as Albertus Jacobo on August 7, 1718; Fara as Epifania Aurelia on April 8, 1721, in St. Michele’s church parish, who probably died young; Ignazia Aurelia on June 4, 1722; Onofrio as Honuphrius Vincentius Joannes on June 22, 1723; Antonino Paolo Francesco on August 11, 1726; ancestor Fara; Vincenzo Gaspare Antonino on January 17, 1728; Vincenza Antonia on December 17, 1730, who apparently died as an infant; pre-mature Vincenza Honuphria on May 23, 1731, who also died as an infant; Vincenza Calogera on June 18, 1733; Domiano as Damianus Angelus Leonardus on February 19, 1735; and Angela Francesca on December 4, 1735.

There are two Sciacca Riveli (tax records) for this family, which are almost exact, but from two different sections of Sciacca. One was taken in 1748 and is discussed and displayed in Calogero’s parents bio, the other here. (Mouse over and click on the Rivelo image left to enlarge in a new window/tab.) This one is dated April 9, 1747, and is in the Matrice (mother church) area of Sciacca. This makes sense that they lived here, as most of their children were baptized at the mother church. It list Calogero as 50 years old, his wife Maria, son Domiano, as 14 years old, and two daughters Vincenza and Angela. These children are the youngest ones listed above. The others were probably married and out of the house or deceased. Calogero’s parents are listed as the deceased Pietro and Giacoma Galluzzo. There is some property listed and some crossed off, but it seems they did own something.

It is not known when Calogero and Maria died, but it was after 1748, when the other tax record was recorded. For now, this is all that is known about them.

~<^>~

Natale Graffeo was baptized as Natali Calogero on December 25, 1632, in the St. Vito parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

At 21 years old he entered into a notarial marriage contract on September 29, 1654, with Vincenzia Termini. Over four months later, after he turned 22 years old, they married on February 4, 1655, in the Sciacca mother church, The Basilica of Maria Santissima del Soccorso. Natale and Vincenzia had two sons, both baptized in the mother church parish as follows — Vito named after his paternal grandfather, was born on October 31, 1655, and baptized as Vitus Filippus Sanctus that same day; and Geronimo, named after his maternal grandfather, was born on April 29, 1657, and baptized as Hiernonius Domencius, the next day. Vincenzia died at about 23 years old, and she was buried on February 14, 1660, in the mother church cemetery. Natale was left with two very young sons.

Less than three months later, on May 3, 1660, Sciacca notary, Giuseppe Lauro, filed a notarial marriage contract for Natale and Antonina Fiorentino. (Mouse over and click on their marriage contract entry image upper left to enlarge in a new window/tab.) She was born and baptized also in the mother church parish, as Antonina Grazia on February 11, 1630, the daughter of Paolo Fiorentino and his wife Vincenza, whose surname is unknown. More than four months later, church banns were read on September 12th, 19th and 21st for Natale and Antonina to marry. Two months later, Natale, who was almost 30 years old, married 30 year-old Antonina on November 20, 1660, in the Sciacca mother church. (Mouse over and click on their Latin marriage record image lower left to enlarge in a new window/tab.) On their marriage record he is listed as Natale relict of deceased Vincenzia Graffeo. Their only known child was ancestor Maria but Antonina raised Vincenzo’s two sons as if they were her own. On Vitos’s marriage record Antonina is listed as his mother. It is interesting to note that Vito married Vita Montalbano on the same day as his half sister ancestor Maria married Vita’s brother Leonardo, but in a different church-Vito in St. Vito’s and Maria in St. Michele’s.

At this time, not much is known about Antonina’s parents, except that they had another child born after Antonina and it is documented that her father, Paolo, was deceased and her mother, Vincenza, was alive when she married in 1660. It is also not known when Natale and Antonina died, but Natale was deceased and Antonina was alive when their daughter ancestor Maria was married on November 7, 1683. For now, nothing else is known about them.

Antonino Liotta was born and baptized as Filippus Antoninus Nicolaus on October 17, 1651, in the St. Michele church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the son of Antonino Liotta and his wife Antonia Ognibene. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

On October 20th, 27th and 28th of 1675, church banns were read for Antonino to marry Giovanna Giorgi. She was most likely born about 1660 in Sciacca, the daughter of Simone Giorgi and his wife Caterina Amato. Twenty-four year-old Antonino and Giovanna were married in Sciacca at the St. Michele church on November 10, 1675, two weeks after the last banns were read. (Mouse over and click on their Latin marriage record image upper left to enlarge in a new window/tab.)

Seven of the children of Antonino and Joanna Liotta are documented in the baptism records of St. Michele’s church as follows —Francesca Antonia was born on the evening of May 29, 1677, and baptized the next day; Michele was born on the morning of September 8, 1679, and baptized as Michael Paulus Antonius the same day; Caterina was born on the evening of April 13, 1681, and baptized the next day as Anna Paola Caterina; ancestor Anna; Maria Rosalia was born on the evening of August 14, 1688, and baptized the next day; Accursia Joanna was baptized by the midwife, Rosalia Sala, on December 8, 1693, because her life was in danger, and baptized the next day by the priest; and Giuseppe, who was born on February 9, 1696, and baptized the next day as Joseph Paulo Simone Ignazio.

Some information is known about Antonino and Giovanna’s parents. His parents, Antonio and Antonia,entered into a notarial marriage contract on February 3, 1642, and were married at the St. Michele church in Sciacca six months later on August 3, 1642. They both were deceased when Antonino and Giovanna were married in 1675. More is known about Giovanna’s parents, Simone and Caterina. Simone was the son of Paolo and Giovanna Giorgi of Terre Caltabilotte. Caterina was baptized as Paola Caterina on May 3, 1636, at the St. Michele church in Sciacca, the daughter of Calogero and Sebastiana Amato.Simone and Caterina were married in Sciacca at the St. Michele church on April 28, 1659, and they had at least three sons, all baptized at St. Michele’s church. Simone was deceased, but his wife Caterina was still alive when their daughter Giovanna was married in 1675.

It is documented that Antonino was deceased when his daughter Caterina was married on January 28, 1709, and his wife Giovanna was alive when their daughter ancestor Anna was married on February 1, 1711. Antonino died at home in Sciacca and was buried in the St. Michele church cemetery on June 19, 1698. (Mouse over and click on his Latin church burial record lower left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) His mother church burial record lists him as Antonius Liotta alias Coniglia, 40 years old, but he was actually 46 when he died. Almost 15 years later, Giovanna died at home in Sciacca and was buried at the St. Vito cemetery May 8, 1713. (Mouse over and click on her Latin church burial record lower right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Her mother church death and burial record states she was about 60 years old, which calculates her birth to about 1653, but that is before her parents married, so she probably was much younger when she died. For now, this is all that is known about them.

Angelo Santangelo was born and baptized as Angelus Francesco Salvatore on May 18, 1671, in the mother church parish of Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, the son of Cosmo Santangelo and his wife Maria Giuseppa diMino, who happens to be ancestor Leonardo diMino's sister. (Mouse over and click on his Latin baptism record upper right to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

On August 19th, 24th and 26th, church banns were read for Angelo to marry Epifania Maglienti. She was born on April 22, 1675, and baptized the next day as Calogera Caterina Epifania, in the St. Michele’s church parish of Sciacca, the daughter of Francesco Maglienti and his wife Margarita Ragusa. (Mouse over and click on her Latin baptism record middle right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Angelo and Epifania were married at the St. Michele church on September 2, 1691. (Mouse over and click on their Latin church marriage record upper left to enlarge in a new window or tab.)

Eight Sciacca St. Michele baptism records have been found for the children of Angelo and Epiphania Santangelo as follows — Cosmio Francesco, named after his paternal grandfather, was born on the evening of August 29, 1692, and baptized the next day; Accursio Francesco was born on the morning of February 1, 1694, and baptized the next day; ancestor Maria was named after her maternal grandmother; Francesco Accursio, named after his maternal grandfather, was born and baptized on the evening of February 1, 1698; Paolo Francesco Leonardo born on July 12, 1699, and baptized the next day; Filippo Sebastiano born on February 7, 1702, and baptized the next day; Pietra Joanna, was born, baptized by the midwife and died on September 15, 1709; and Ignazia Aurelia on October 19, 1712, who was baptized by the midwife because she was in imminent danger of death.

Angelo died and was buried on September 3, 1739, at the St. Michaelis Archangeli cemetery in Sciacca, which is part of the the same church he was married in. His mother church burial record states his age incorrectly as 50, as he was 68 when he died. (Mouse over and click on his Latin church burial record lower left to enlarge in a new window or tab.) Epifania lived more than 8 years after her husband died. She died and was buried on April 20, 1748, just 2 days before her 73rd birthday. (Mouse over and click on her Latin church burial record lower right to enlarge in a new window or tab.) On her mother church burial record it states she was the wife of the deceased Angeli Santangelo and incorrectly gives her age as 85 years old. She was buried at the St. Maria de Monte Carmelo cemetery. Unfortunately, nothing else is known about them. (Thanks to Michael from NY for this info.)
