The Falco Archive
Generation 4 of the direct line

Raffaele Falco

Baptised at Arienzo in 1818 — “ex Vincentio Falco, e Andreana Crisci coniugibus huius Parochiae, cui imposuit nomen Raphael”, with Gelsumina Ruggiero as godmother.

the archive's own line, argued on Direct line from a record this archive has read from the family tree, unverified

One claim here is drawn struck through, and left in place on purpose. The family tree makes this person a parent of generation 4. This archive does not: it identifies generation 3 as someone else. The reasoning is on the Method page.The archive corrects in the open rather than deleting, so the discarded parentage stays visible beside the one that replaced it.

More than one person in this row carries the same name — Luigi Falco, Vincenzo Falco. That is what the source says. This archive does not merge records on a name, so they are drawn separately even where one duplicated entry is the likelier explanation.

What the registers say

  • birth — 10 May 1818 , Arienzo, strada Camellara
    “civil act 47, foglio 149: «è comparso Vincenzo Falco, di anni ventisette, contadino, strada Camellara… è nato nella sua propria casa, da lui dichiarante e da Andreana Crisci sua moglie legittima, d'anni venti, un maschio… a cui si è dato il nome di Raffaele» — born at three in the afternoon”

  • birth — 25 Apr 1816 , Arienzo, strada Camellara
    “«è comparso Vincenzo Falco, di anni trentacinque, bracciale… strada Camellara… da Andreana Crisci sua moglie legittima, d'anni venticinque, un maschio… a cui si è dato il nome di Raffaele» — a FIRST child of this name, two years before the Raffaele of 10 May 1818. Ordinarily the first died; which of the two is generation four is now an open question”

  • death — 28 Oct 1817 , Arienzo
    “«Raffaele Falco figlio di Vincenzo Falco, e d'Andreana Crisci» — died at seven in the morning, aged about eighteen months. THIS IS THE BURIAL OF THE FIRST RAFFAELE, born 25 April 1816, and it settles generation four: the Raffaele of 10 May 1818 is the one who lived. Declared by Sabato Vassallo, 26, sportellaro of strada Porta di Sopra, and by GIUSEPPE FALCO, 37, massaro di campagna of strada Camellara, the two of them «PARENTI» — kin.”

This parish repeats its names relentlessly — there are three Maria Falco and four Pasquale. These are different people, kept apart on purpose rather than merged into one.
