Maddalena in Volpe

Born: About 1720 - Racalmuto, Agrigento, Kingdom of Sicily
Died: after 1759 - Serradifalcoe

I have not found any records of baptism, marriage or death for my great-great-great-great-grandmother Maddalena La Reda, but I know her given name from the 1 December 1759 marriage record, below, of her daughter Rosa, which states that Maddalena was still living on that date. Her name is given in Latin on that document, as Magdalena. That early record doesn't give Maddalena's surname, but other evidence, including DNA, indicates that it was Reda or La Reda.
