Raffaele Napolitano
Raffaele Napolitano is probably as far back as I will be able to go in my search on my grandfather's paternal side. I am unsure at this time of his birth date or death date. I only have 2 children for him so far but I am sure I will find more soon. His wife and the mother of his children was Savaria Licciardi. Like many of his descendants Raffaele lived and died in the Parantoro section of Montalto Uffugo. Raffaele was a miller. Below I will show his descendants, his children and grandchildren. Modern day descendants of Raffaele and Savaria live in Spain, Argentina, the United States and Italy.
The Son of Raffaele And Savaria
Antonio Napolitano was born about 1778 in the Parantoro section of Montalto Uffugo. His occupation was miller and he married Anna Filippo. So far I have found 4 children for Antonio and Anna. My thanks go to Mr. DeLuca in Spain for the information and documents from San Benedetto Ullano on Antonio's son Gaetano. Antonio died in May, 1841 at the age of 63. Here is a copy of the death record of Antonio: Antonio Napolitano Death Record
Antonio and Anna had at least 4 children that I am aware of. I am sure I will find more as I research the records. Their children were:
- Gaetano Napolitano born about 1797 died 1829
married Rosa DeLuca - Luigi Napolitano born about 1800 died 1833
married Maria Rua - Michellina Napolitano born about 1818 died 1881
married Vincenzo Lattori - Angiola Napolitano born about 1825 died 1875
married Gaetano Rua
The Daughter of Raffaele and Savaria
Maria Napolitano was born to Raffaele Napolitano and Saveria Licciardi about 1795. She married Saverio Garrafa. Together Maria and Saverio had at least 5 children that I know of. You can read about their family on their grandson's page Domenico Garrafa. Maria's father Raffaele is the ancestor I share in common with the Garrafa family on my grandfather's father's side of the family.
More coming soon
