Biography

Rosa di Miceli, daughter of Giovanni Di Miceli and Bernarda Castelli, is born and baptized on 3 Aug 1856 in Corleone. Her godparents are Giuseppe Marsalisi and his mother, Maria Trombadore.[1]

She marries for the first time to Calogero Gattuso on 6 September 1874.[2] Calogero dies at the age of 28 in September 1876.[3]

Rosa remarries on 17 July 1877 to Biagio Merendino, son of the late Ciro Merendino and Francesca Longo.[4]

Rosa and Biagio have known five children: Calogera/Carrie (c. 1885), Bernarda/Bennie (1886), Johnie (c. 1894), Jerome (c. 1895), and Tony (c. 1896). In 1900, Rosa tells a census taker that she has had ten children, of which six were living, although both numbers are decreased to "five" in 1910.

On 6 May 1886 in Corleone, Biagio Merendino, age 34 (b. 1852), contadino, reports a birth on 5 May at via Triolo, #33, to Rosa Di Miceli, his wife, contadina. The baby is a girl and is named Bernarda. Testifying to the identity of the father, who cannot read, are Leoluca Cascio, age 72 (b. 1814), borgese, and Bernardo Catania, age 33 (b. 1853), borgese.[5]
