[TI] Termini - Naming Tradition

[Melanie Holtz]

Tom,
 
You have a Maria missing who was born between Emmanuela and Francesco and died before 1863 when her name was reused.  
 
As for Anna, that looks like a different family since her father's name was Antonino not Agostino and they married in 1864 not 1845.


Sincerely,

Melanie D. Holtz
