Anna Pontillo
Known from the family tree. No record has been read for this person.
Every relationship drawn here has been proved by a record — all 3 edges on this chart were read out of a register rather than taken from the family tree. The method →
This person is not in the family's file. They exist here because an act names them, and this archive has read it. The reading is Antenati name index, Scilla, atto di morte 19 October 1924 (Camillo Antonio Polistena); Scilla, Nati 1836 atto 204. Nothing on this page comes from Michael's export, which never held them — so there is no tree account here to agree or disagree with, and the pieces the export arrived in do not include them.

Why this person is here
CAMILLO ANTONIO POLISTENA'S MOTHER, AND THE SOLUTION TO THE PONTILLO PROBLEM. The tree calls Giovanni Polistena's mother «Giovanna Pontillo». Three records call her Giovanna ROMANO. Here is where the Pontillo came from: it is the surname of Giovanni's PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER, one generation up, carried down onto the wrong woman. AND THE ACT OF 1836 CONFIRMS HER SURNAME AGAINST AN INDEX THAT GOT IT WRONG: the annual Tavola enters her daughter as «di Giuseppe e MARTELLO Anna»; the act says PONTILLO, which is what the death act of 1924 says too. AND A DEATH BOUND AT LAST: «il FU Giuseppe» and «la FU Anna Pontillo» in their son Camillo Antonio's marriage act of 23 JANUARY 1881, each «residente in vita in Scilla». Both were alive at their daughter Fortunata's birth in January 1840 and dead by January 1881.
