[TI] Sicilian Child Naming Tradition

[Laura Johnson]

The 1700's HAS followed the naming tradition quite well..........at 
least by 85% or more.  I am basing this on the fact that I have entered 
all of the marriages from 1820 thru 1850 and all of the births from 1820 
thru 1844 and the deaths from 1820 thru 1839 into FTM and the pattern is 
quite consistent in the naming tradition in the 1700's.  In fact, it is 
has followed it so well that it has make connecting families much easier 
than if it hadn't been followed
