Biography

Giuseppa Riina, daughter of Salvatore Riina and Maria Liggio, marries Gioachino Pomara, son of the late Salvatore Pomara and the living Anna Trapani, on 27 October 1805.^[1]

Gioachino and Giuseppa have at least two children, Anna (c. 1810) and Maria (c. 1820).

Anna is named after her paternal grandmother. I estimate she's born within five years of her parents' marriage.

Maria is born around 1820, based on her reported age at the birth of one of her children. She is named after her maternal grandmother.

Anna marries Vincenzo Liggio on 30 April 1837 in Corleone. Her father has died.^[2]

Maria marries twice, first to Vincenzo Mannina on 4 October 1840.^[3]

Maria remarries to Felice Riina, a widower, on 4 June 1854. Her mother, Giuseppa, is still living at this time.^[4]

Giuseppa dies a widow in July 1854 in Corleone.^[5]

Maria dies at the age of 73 (b. 1820) in December 1893 in Corleone.^[6]
