Lucia Soldano is born and baptized 14 May 1817. She is the daughter of Maestro Giuseppe Soldano and Giuseppa Maniscalco. Her godparents are Maestro Gaetano and Giuseppa Governali, a married couple.
A younger sister, Antonina, age two, and their father, Maestro Giuseppe, die, one the day after the next, in August 1829, during the second cholera pandemic.
In 1834, Lucia, 17 (b. 1817), lives with her widowed mother Donna Giuseppa, and her younger siblings: Emmanuele, 14 (b. 1819), Liboria, 10 (b. 1823), and Rosa, 8 (b. 1825). The family lives on the Rua del Piano.
Donna Lucia marries Don Rafaele di Martino (sometimes Martino or di Marino), a jailer from Naples, on 2 September 1841. Giuseppe has died by this time, and Giuseppa is living.
Lucia and Rafaele have at least five children together: Carlo Francesco Paolo (1846), Carlo (1849), Paola (1852), Fiorenzo (1855) and Giuseppa (1859).
Carlo Francesco Paolo (sometimes Francesco Paolo Carlo) is born 26 November 1846 in his parents' home in nel Carcere, Corleone. He is known from his marriage allegati, which include his birth record extract, giving Lucia's age at the time as 30, for an estimated birth year of 1816. Carlo Francesco Paolo is baptized the next day. His godparents are Gioachino Glaviano and Francesca Paola di Luca, from Bisacquino.
The second son, Carlo, is born and baptized in a private ceremony on 13 September 1849. His godparents are Emmanuele Soldano and Grazia Cinquemani, his wife.
Carlo Francesco Paolo marries Francesca Paola Lo Jacono on 3 October 1870. It is the first marriage for either of them.
Fiorenzo's baptismal certificate appears in the 1871 church matrimonial records, suggesting he marries that year.
Rafaele dies at age 67 (b. 1811) on 14 June 1878. Lucia survives him.
Fiorenzo marries Emmanuela Milone on 23 January 1881.
Lucia dies at age 75 (b. 1817) on 4 October 1892.
Paola dies at age 40 (b. 1852) on 8 February 1893. This record does not mention whether she has ever married.
