Andrea Maniscalco is born around 1796 in Corleone, the son of Emmanuele Maniscalco and Rosalia Palazzo.
Andrea marries at least twice, first to Giuseppa Lucera, the daughter of Bernardo Lucera and Vincenza Cuti, on 7 January 1816 in Corleone.[1] They have at least one child, Emmanuele, named after Andrea's father. Emmanuele dies in infancy on 9 June 1816.[2] Giuseppa is his stepsister; Andrea's father married her mother in 1809.[3]
Andrea remarries to Maria Santa Castro[4] on 23 April 1827. (Note: His late wife's name is recorded as "Giuseppa di Frisco", not "Giuseppa Lucera" on their church marriage record. Di Frisco is Giuseppa's maternal grandmother's surname.) His parents have both died by this time.
Andrea and Santa have five known children: Biagia (1828), two daughters named Rosalia (1830 and c. 1831), Damiano (1832), and Pietro (1834).
Biagia is born and baptized on 8 June 1828. She shares a name with a maternal aunt. Her godparents are Maestro Alberto and Caterina Giordano, brother and sister.
The first daughter named Rosalia is born and baptized 15 November 1830. This record calls her father Antonino. Her godparents are Vincenzo Catanzaro and Calogera lo Bello, who are not married.
Rosalia dies on 20 November 1831 at one year of age.
The second daughter named Rosalia's baptismal record has not yet been found. Because she does not appear in the Church census, she is believed to have been born after 1834.
Damiano is born and baptized on 21 December 1832. His godparents are Angelo and Biagia Castro, brother and sister.
In 1834, Andrea, 40 (b. 1796), his wife Maria, reportedly 28 (she is 30, b. 1804), and children Emmanuele, 16 (b. 1806), Bernardo, 15 (b. 1807), Biagia, 6 (b. 1828), and Damiano, 2 (b. 1832), live on the strada di Santa Caterina. The two older children are from Andrea's first marriage. Their neighbors to the west include the family of Maestro Salvatore Napoli.
