Rosa Gennaro is born 12 July 1858 and baptized Rosam the next day. Although her baptismal record calls her the daughter of Luciano Gennaro and Lucia Castro.
Rosa's godmother is Maria Carmela Gennaro, unmarried daughter of Michaelangeli.
Rosa marries Giovanni Cascio[1] on 19 November 1877. Their baptismal records appear together on one certificate in the Church matrimonial records for Corleone in 1871-78. In this record, Rosa's mother's name is given as Cascio. (See the Cascio Name Study for a discussion of versions of the last name.) Rosa and Giovanni are second cousins through Leoluca Mariano Gioachino Lo Cascio.
Rosa and Giovanni stand as godparents to Salvatrix Mancuso, daughter of Calogero Mancuso and Blasia Cortimiglio, on 13 January 1881.
I have not found any records of children of Giovanni and Rosa.
