2 responses to “Petralia Sottana 19th Century Households – Map Surnames List”

  1. I was able to launch the list. Disregard my last comment. This is very cool. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I am visiting Petralia Sottana in September and wanted to see the house where my great grandmother grew up. Her name was Caterina Giaconia and was born around 1871.. It is building 159 but I cannot find it. The red buildings are difficult to read. Any help would be appreciated. She married a Torregrossa in 1892 but he was from Resuttano. Her mother was Domenica Fillipone which I also see on the list.

  2. Hi Donna, if you go to the Surname Forum here, there is a post called “Caterina Giaconia – building 159.” I put an image there that shows where I believe #159 is. Best, Janna
