I have not yet found
any records of baptism or marriage for my
great-great-grandmother Michela Vella, but I know her
name from the birth records of her children, and her approximate birth year from her civil record of death.
Church death records are missing for the years 1847 -
1864. Her death record gives her mother's name as
Anna Pignataro, however other records appear to indicate
that it was Anna Cammarata. |
