Maria Morello is born and baptized 16 February 1847. She is the daughter of Leoluca Morello and Giuseppa lo Piano. Her godparents are Andrea Sanzone and Domenica Valenza, a married couple.[1]
Maria and Giovanni Oliveri's baptismal records appear together on one certificate in the Church matrimonial records for Corleone, 1871-78. They marry on 23 September 1877. Her father has passed away by this time, and her mother is still living.[2]
Maria and Giovanni have at least five children together: Giuseppe (1878), three daughters named Calogera (1882, 1883, and 1887), and Nicolena (c. 1885).
All three daughters named Calogera die in infancy. See the Cascio Family Space for a short discussion on naming conventions.
