• 1865 death record No. 28 for Mariantonia Priano, died 25 August 1865 in Busso, age 34, daughter of Angelo and Rosa Palladino, wife of Biase Iaciofano.
• 1894 marriage record No. 15 for Antonio Mulierini and Filomena Faciafano/Iaciofano, married 21 October 1894 in Busso; Filomena is reported as age 33, born and living in Busso, daughter of deceased Biase and Mariantonia Priano.

Research Meaning

This is the strongest Busso-side structural clue so far because it provides a possible parent generation for the forum-reported Biase/Biagio Iaciofano and Anna Maria Santangelo family cluster. The reported 1865 death of Mariantonia Priano makes the 1858 Priano marriage and later reported 1866 Santangelo marriage chronologically compatible. The proof question is now sharper: do the 1858, 1865, and 1866 original records identify the same Biase by parents, marital status, residence, or other anchors?

The 1910 Ohio indexed marriage clue is also important because it may place a reported son of Biagio and A. Maria Santangelo in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. That is not a connection to Tony's John/Giovanni Iacofano by itself, but it makes the Busso branch more relevant to the Cleveland research lane.
