Death:          6 Mar 1894 Centurano, San Clemente, Caserta, Italy

Notes
Giuseppe Zona on documents from Italy
Giuseppe Nicola Zona from www.familysearch
There is a Maria Sarchione Lucia Zona b c 1832 who m Nicola Di Antonio Zona c 
1853, she b c 1832. Is she named after her grandmother? Is she the daughter of a 
brother of Giuseppe?
In the online records of Caserta on familysearch, there are children born to a 
Domenico Zona and his wife Maddalena Abbate. I think this Domenico is a brother of 
Clementina.
20 Oct 1871 Caserta deaths, Alessandro Zona, 80, born in Centurano, widower of 
Angela Maria Zampella, son of Crescenzo Zona and Alessandra Brignola. Per 
familysearch index, She is dtr of Gennaro Zampella and Vincenza D'Ambrosio
He and Maria had a daughter, Maria Giovanni Zona, born 10 Feb 1843, Calvi Risorta, 
Caserta, death "Sob, Calvi Risorta, Caserta." How can this be if Clementina born 9 
Jan 1843? Do I have the wrong parents for her?? YES ... Giuseppe is not married to 
Maria Giuseppe Prata. And now unsure of his ancestry.

If I'm rereading the baptism certificate of Clementina correctly, her mother is not Maria 
Prata but Luisa something with begins with an O or a D. I think it is Denza, which is 
an Italian surname, and there are a few in Caserta. It's not Danza .... that family is 
from a different area of Italy.

Per Clementina Zona's birth certificate, Giuseppe lists his occupation as contadino, 
which means peasant. Birth recorded in San Clemente. HIS age is given as 
trentacinque, which is 35. So he is born in 1808!!!!

on familysearchlabs.org: Alessandro Zona, b 1835, son of Giuseppe Zona and Luisa 
Denza, md 29 Mar 1862, San Clemente, Caserta, Angela Maria Perriello, b 1832, dtr of 
Salvatore Perriello and Teresa Sacco.

I will guess that the following entry relates: Cuona Sposito b 1826, son of Antonio 
Sposito and Maddalena Cerillo, md 22 May 1856 San Clemente, Caserta, Alessandra 
Zona, b 1835, dtr of Alessandro Zona and Angela Maria Zampella. I think Alessandro 
is a brother of Giuseppe.
found his death: 20 Oct 1871 Caserta deaths, Alessandro Zona, 80, born in 
Centurano, widower of Angela Maria Zampella, son of Crescenzo Zona and Alessandra 
Brignola
and from http://www.myheritage.com/names/carmela_zona Carmela Zona is dtr of 
Crescenzo and Alessandra, so I think she is a sister of Giuseppe
Then there is Raffaele Zampella, b 1837, son of Gennaro Zampella and Rosa 
Pietrosanto, md 22 Oct 1859 San Clemente, Caserta, Alessandra Zona b 1835, dtr of 
Alessandro Zona and Agnela Maria Zampella. It appears her first husband died.

Also from familysearchlabs: Domenico Ianniello, b 1820, son of Giovanni Ianniello and 
Teresa Fusco, md 17 Feb 1847 San Clemente, Caserta, Maria Carmela Zona, b 1820, 
dtr of Crescenzo Zona and Alesandra Brignola. Is Crescenzo a brother of Giuseppe 
and Alessandro?

OK, so who is Giuseppe Zona, b c 1765, d 16 Feb 1845, son of Pasquale Zona and 
Anna Santillo, who md c 1808 in Calvi Risorta, Orsola Salierno, b c 1774, d 13 Aug 
1844, dtr of Lorenzo Salierno and Agnese Martino. Note place of marriage is where 
Giuseppe Nicola Zona is born in 1813 (and he's not the one we want). Could this be 
the parentage of our Giuseppe Zona? Hmmm. REMEMBER ... the parents of Giuseppe 
Nicola Zona b in Calvi Risorta are Antonio Zona and Maria Sarchione.

Could Luisa be sister of Antonio Denza b 1800, md 13 Feb 1825 in San Clemente, 
Caserta, Marta Maria Ricciardo? HE is son of Marco Denza and Anna Brancaccio. 
Would make her sister of Michele Denza, b 1797 in San Clemente, md 24 Jul 1824 
Maria Gaetana Vigliante

Or sister of Maria Francesca Denza, b Caserta 1804, dtr of Giuseppe Denza and 
Carmela Ronchelli (md 11 Feb 1823 Pietro Tagliafierro in Caserta). Would make her 
sister of Maria Gaetana Denza, b 1812 Caserta, md 18 Sep 1845 Nicola Biffaro. And 
sister of Maria Teresa Denza, b 1809 Caserta, md 5 dec 1830 Pasquale Acelli in 
Caserta. And sister of Michele Denza, b 1811 Caserta, md 19 Feb 1835 Nicoletta 
Tolentino in Caserta (another record says Michelangelo Denza b 1806 Caserta, md 
Nicoletta Tolentino 1834 Caserta) That last record comes from Francesco De 
Benedetto, Quartiere Bettinzoli 3 i-25124 Brescia, Italia, a person who also entered 
info on Giuseppe Zona. Hmm.

Or sister of Maria Maddalena Denza, b 1790 in San Clemente, dtr of Francesco Denza 
and Faustina Zuppardi, md Gennaro Oliviero 25 Oct 1832 in Caserta?

Or sister of Domenico Denza, b 1797 Centurano, Caserat, md Rosa Ricciardi in 1820 
in Centurano. Info from Francesco Di Benedetto, who supplied other Denza and Zona 
info to familysearch sources. From familysearch labs, Domenico and Rosa had Anna 
Maria Elisabetta Denza (b 1824), md 5 Oct 1850 San Clemente, Caserta, Giuseppe 
Russo, b 1818, son of Filippo Russo and Alesandra Cicia, and md 18 Mar 1858 San 
Clemente, Caserta, Domenico Lombardo, b 1834, son of Maiorano Lombardo and 
Gabriela Bove.

Also from familysearchlabs: Domenico Denza, b 1839 son of Antonio Denza ad Marta 
Maria Ricciardi, md 11 Mar 1865 San Clemente, Caserta, Angela Maria Vasta, b 1842, 
dtr of Francesco Vasta and Maria Giovanna Cecere.

And: Domenico Denza, b 1795, son of Marco Denza and Anna Brancaccio, md 11 Jan 
1823 San Clemente, Caserta, Rosa Riccardo, dtr of Agostino Riccardo and Gelsomina 
Mandato.
Antonio Denza, b 1800, son of Marco Denza and Anna Brancaccio, md 13 Feb 1825 
San Clemente, Caserta, Marta Maria Ricciardo, b 1800, dtr of Felice Ricciardo and 
Maria Viscardo
Death cert in San Clemente records on familysearch gives his surname as DIZONE!!! 
Died 6 Mar 1894, age 86 (b 1808), and yes, is son of Crescenzo Zona and Alessandra 
Brignola.  Lives at viella Marzano (consistent with daughter's marr cert info) Widower 
of Maria Giuseppa Denza. not Luisa? I think the person providing the information was 
wrong about her name. 
Interesting: when I search for dizone in familysearch, the marriage of Alessandro Zona 
and Angela Maria Zampella shows up.
Several records for other members of the family use Dizzone
