[TI] Termini - Naming Tradition

[Thomas Corso, PhD]

Melanie,

My mistake.  I meant to write down that Anna's parents were Agostino
Corso and Domenica Longo.  This is why I think it's the same family.
Also, it looks like Domenica Longo died in Palermo in 1866.  The death
index lists her name and her parents as Antonino Longo and Maria Mandea
(this looks close enough to Mantia to call it a match).  The age matches
to within 2 years also.

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
