         I have not found any records of baptism, marriage or death for my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother  Caterina, but I know her given name from baptism records of her offspring.  Her surname is not known.  Serradifalco's 1715 AD 'Riveli di Bene e Anime' (Census of Goods and Souls) for her husband Pietro Ricotta names her as his wife.

       Michelangelo's baptism record corroborates the information in the census.  His christened name was Michele Gerlando. (Michael Gerlandus in Latin.)
