My great-great-great grandmother Margherita's baptism
record and that of her sister Rosaria gives her surname
as Antinoro.
It is alternately given as Antinorio on her husband
Giuseppe Abbate's death record and her own death
record, and on the marriage
records of her children. She is shown as living on
the 1832 death record of her husband, and deceased on
the 1834 marriage record of her son Giuseppe Abate.
Because of factors probably associated with the cholera
epidemic of that time, civil death records for 1831 and
1832 are missing for Serradifalco.
An epidemic struck
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies that year and almost 600
residents of Serradifalco perished, about one out of
every eight people. However, the church record of
her death survived, and is shown here.
Both Giuseppe and Margherita died
in 1832. |
