A user-supplied FamilySearch indexed death entry reports Sebastiano Finizia, age 84, occupation proprietor, died in Sepino on 7 November 1812, certificate No. 112, with parents Domenico Finizia and Margherita Gualterio and an associated spouse/child entry for Cristina Maglieri. The user flagged this as a possible most-distant relative on Tony Iacofano's maternal Mary Ricciardi line. The current repo proves Mary Ricciardi's parents as Domenic/Dominic Ricciardi and Christina/Christania Polletta/Pauletta, but it does not yet contain the intervening Sepino generation chain connecting those anchors to Finizia, Gualterio, or Maglieri.
Still checking
Why this is not settled yet
1728 –
Can the original Sepino death register image for certificate No. 112 be viewed to verify the indexed names, age, occupation, parents, spouse, and exact wording?
What is the full generation-by-generation path from Mary Ricciardi's documented parents, Domenic/Dominic Ricciardi and Christina/Christania Polletta/Pauletta, back to Sebastiano Finizia or his parents?
Does the Sepino record use Finizia or Fenizia, and are Gualterio and Maglieri read correctly from the image?
Do Sepino marriage, death, and processetti records identify the child or descendant who connects the Finizia family to the Ricciardi/Polletta line?
Notes
Notes
Lead created 24 April 2026 from a user-supplied FamilySearch indexed record.
If the relationship path is later proven, Domenico Finizia and Margherita Gualterio would be one generation more distant than Sebastiano, but they are currently known only from this index entry.
Do not promote this lead or update Tony/Mary Ricciardi person records until the original image and the intervening chain are documented with accepted sources.
