Maria Terranova is born 10 April 1859 in her parents' home in the quartere di S. Nicolo, Corleone. The birth is reported by Francesca Paola de Luca, the midwife, age 55. Maria's mother is Lucia Jannazzo (unknown relation to Maria's fiance, Stefano), age 40, and her father is Vincenzo Terranova, age 49, borgese (middle class).
Vincenzo dies on 28 February 1875, age 62.
Maria and Stefano Jannazzo begin the civil documentation to marry later that year. Her father's death record is included in the marriage allegati, but there is no publication record, so this marriage was not completed.
Maria marries Antonino Rizzotto, son of the late Vincenzo Rizzotto and Anna Listi, on 11 June 1877.[1]
Maria and Antonino have at least four children: Vincenzo (c. 1887), Anna (1891), Lucia (1893), and Francesco (c. 1901).
Vincenzo is named after his maternal grandfather. I estimate he is born around 1887, ten years after his parents marry.
Anna is born 22 February 1891 and baptized the same day. Her godparents are Nicolo' Terranova and Giovanna Catalinotto.[2]
Lucia is born 29 December 1893 in her parents' home at via San Leoluca, #42. Antonino, age 45, contadino, reports the birth.[3]
Vincenzo marries Maria Provenzano on 19 January 1911.[4]
Francesco marries Giuseppa Ligotino on 10 April 1921.[5]
