Rosario Oliveri is born and baptized 2 March 1814, named after his paternal grandfather. He is the son of Maestro Andrea Oliveri and Mattea Cutropia. His godparents are Biagio and Barbara Puccio, a married couple.
Rosario marries Serafina di Palermo, daughter of Vincenzo di Palermo and Oliva Ligotino, and widow of Liborio Grizzaffi, on 12 April 1848 in Corleone. His parents have died.[1]
Rosario is a farmer (agricola). He and his wife, Serafina Palermo,[2] have at least five children together: Andrea (1850), Vincenzo (1853), Matthea (1856), Salvatore (1859), and Giovanni (1864). All are known from their baptismal records. In addition, Vincenzo is known from his marriage allegati.
When Vincenzo is born on 24 October 1853 in his home in via S. Giovan Battista, Corleone, Rosario reports the birth. He gives his own age as 28 (b. 1825). Vincenzo is named after his maternal grandfather.
Rosario dies at age 59 on 23 September 1873. Serafina survives him.
Mattea marries Pietro Grizzaffi on 28 September 1874.
Serafina dies at age 67 (b. 1819) on 16 January 1887. This record only mentions Serafina's first husband, Liborio Grizzaffi.

Their marriage record contains a dispensation, obtained 17 February, due to double fourth degree consanguinity.[3]
