lo Vecchio} day 15 October 1786
I Priest Cataldo Palermo Holy Chaplain baptized an infant born this night to Amodeo and Calogera, man and wife. The name given her is Giuseppa. The godparents were Bartolo Digraci and Anna, married.

Civil records of deaths normally gave no cause of death. Two witnesses or declarants went to the Town Hall to report the death, and the official then accompanied them to the home of the deceased. One of the witnesses in this case was Gaetano Coniglio, age 26. Gaetano was not related to Giuseppa lo Vecchio, and had no way of knowing it, but she would be my GG-grandmother on the Alessi side, and he was my grandfather on the Coniglio side!
