    Correction for Lea’s surname: it should be Garbini. She was the daughter of Galileo Garbini and Erminia Sensini. Galileo was the son of Augusto Garbini and Giuseppa Rocchini.

    Debilio’s parents were Manuel Blanco Suárez and Adela Villegas. Manuel was a Spanish immigrant, and was the son of José Blanco and Josefa Suárez. Adela was the daughter of Spanish immigrant Casiano Villegas, of Santander, Cantabria, and of Juana Leandra Centurión.

    Juana Barletta -> Giuseppa, or Juana in Spanish, Barletta

    Antonio was an Italian immigrant, and was the son of Vincenzo (or Vicente in Spanish) Cinque and Candida (or Cándida in Spanish) Castellucci

    Giuseppa was also an Italian immigrant, and was the daughter of Leonardo Barletta and Carmen Filomeno.
