Current work - Cathy is doing some lookups, info so far -
The birth was reported to the mayor by the father Saverio Leonetti, aged 36 on March 25, 1865. Saverio lived in the contrada (hamlet) ofLuigi's Birth Act
Castagna. The mother was Carmela LaTorre, aged 30 and was his legitimate wife living in the same home. The witnesses were Gaetano Coscarello aged 42 who was a laborer and Vincenzo Bartucci aged 50. Luigi was baptized at Madonna della Neve on the 26th of March in Santa Maria La Castagna. (hamlet)
Chiesa della Madonna delle Neve (Church) The building has three naves, is in the hamlet of Santa Maria La Castagna. The facade has a portal with a simple coat of arms surmounted by a window.
I think you have Luigi's
mom's name wrong...close but wrong. The name as you wrote it is
unfamiliar to me, However, I think her name was Carmela LaTorre.
His father was Saverio so based on that information I can tell you
the names of his a few of his siblings:
Gaspare born in 1879
Rosaria born in 1861
Francesco born in 1868
Giuseppe born in 1857
I am sure there are more but that is all I found for now.
Sadly, I think we will come to a permanent dead end on the Leonetti
line with Luigi's father. His birth name may have been
Esposito...that means Saverio was an orphan and the Leonetti was
added later - probably after his adoption. They married in 1855 so
I will look for the marriage act to prove that. On the LaTorre side
we should be able to find more.
