Well, it's pretty clear I can't type. Amelia Giusto was married in 1885 (not 1895) and died in 1886 (not 1896). The other dates below are correct. This is important because, as "Carol in Reno" pointed out to me, Charles Curotto died in 1869. -------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: carolynjnash, 105431,2442 To: AMADOR list , INTERNET:CAAMADOR-L@rootsweb.com Date: 08/30/2000 01:25 PM RE: Amelia Curotto or Ginocchio , daughter of Julia Raggio Curotto Ginocchio Just sorted this out and didn't want this lady to get lost. Amelia was the daughter of Julia Raggio Curotto Ginocchio and Charles Curotto, according to information her sister Lena provided to the Native Daughters of the Golden West (thanks Jackie), but was married as Amelia Ginocchio. She married John A. Giusto of Sacramento, the son of Frank Giusto of Sacramento and his wife Maria Raggio, in Jackson on 5 Dec. 1895. The marriage was reported in both the Amador Dispatch (with thanks for the cake) and Sacramento Bee (5 Dec 1885: "In Jackson, Nov 21, John A Giusto of Sacramento to Amelia Ginocchio of Jackson"). Amelia Giusto died in Sacramento on May 8 1896. The Sacramento Bee reported her death on 10 May ("beloved wife of John Giusto. A native of Amador County, California, aged 20 years, 4 months and 8 days") and the Amador Dispatch obit said she was a daughter of Mrs. E. Ginocchio. John A. Giusto is in the NDGW files as John Alexander Guisto in information provided by his daughter Mary Ready from his second marriage; the first marriage is not mentioned.
