Francesca Alessi

.
Born: about 1777 ~Villalba, Caltanisetta, Sicilia? 
Died: 7 January 1834 ~Marianopoli, Caltanisetta, Sicilia

Meaning of Alessi [uh-LACE-ee]: from the Greek, Alex, Alexander

 

      Civil birth records were not made in Sicily before 1820, and no church baptism record has been found for my GGG-grandmother Francesca Alessi.  Her birth year is estimated from her age given on her civil death record, and the birth records of her children.  I have not found the record of her marriage to Angelo Ferraro, however the record of his second marriage names him as her widower.
        Her civil death record states that she died at twenty-one hours on 7 January 1834, and her church death record made on 8 January states that her death was at hour twenty of the previous night.
       Her occupation is given as filandiera, a spinner of thread, and her birthplace is given as Villalba.  However, I visited Villalba in 2006
(click here), and viewed their excellent civil records, and evidently Francesca Alessi was not born there, but may have lived there at one time.
