I have about 7 Marciano ancestral lines in Carini, my grandmother's parents were 1st cousins, and my grandmother's mother's parents were also first cousins, all Marciano. Because Family Tree Maker does not allow charting of specific descents, I hand wrote this out because i find it very interesting...

Angelina (eyetalgal) and I are 4th cousins once removed TWICE and 4th Cousins twice removed once, I won't even go into the 26 other ways (according to what she has told me) we are cousins in different lines.

so here is a rough chart I drew out of our common descent from Carlo Marciano who married at Carini 2 November 1794 Anna Sciarrino:

LOL...PLEASE DO NOT COMMIT ANY CRIMES.....our DNA could hang both
of us!!!!

Remember, you are also related to Vincenza many, many times thru the same line.

So funny!

How does Vincenza tie in? Is she a Candela as well?

yes, she is great grandaughter of Antonino (son of Pietro and Anna Alamia). She is one generation younger than me and great granddaughter of Antonino's second wife. That's the marriage I'm looking for in the 1905-1910 book.

I think the 1905-1910 book will be a great help to a lot of us.

If you need help transcribing the book, let me know.

Hello family,

It's amazing how thins happen in life. If you are not related to one line of the family you are likely to be related to the other. This is great.

A little curious how do you transcribe a town. What is process?

Oh James can definitely answer this one. Besides, I would love to hear how he does it.

I have heard that people use excel spreadsheets and then merge the info but thats as far as I've understood...can't wait for his reply.
