A Three-Generation Timeline

This is my own effort to get a better grasp on the basic chronology of our families, and to provide a context for guessing about some individuals whose relationship to the families cannot be documented but is likely. Some members of the Guerriero/Capaldo side is also included to provide additional chronological context.

The Minutillo side of the timeline includes several individuals known from other research, including the Casamassa family genealogy site, and the contemporary cemetery in Foiano:

• Vincenzo Minutillo was born to Giuseppe Minutillo and Rafaella Casamassa. in 1857. Giuseppe was a member of Pellegrino's generation but born of different parents, most likely either a cousin or an uncle of Pellegrino, which would make Giuseppe's son Vincenzo Pellegrino's first cousin once-removed.
  
• Maddelena Minutillo is buried in the Foiano cemetery. She was born in 1879, and could be the same Maddelena Minutillo who married 36-year-old Giuseppe Antonio Casamassa in Foiano in 1904. Her place in the timeline suggests that she could have been one of Pellegrino's younger daughters, buried in 1965 under her maiden name. The mother of five children (all perhaps cousins of Frank Minutillo) she had been a widow since 1918.
  
• Addolorata Minutillo is also buried in the Foiano cemetery. She was born in 1905. She could have been the daughter of Pellegrino's son Vincenzo and his second wife Giovanna Paoletti,or she could have been buried under her married name and been the wife of some other Minutillo, perhaps one of Pellegrino's nephews, or of another of his sons we don't know anything about.

Not included in the timeline are another pair of interesting Minutillo names:

• Maria Teresa Minutillo, born in Foiano in 1762, the daughter of an Antonio Minutillo. She married into the Casamassa family in the late 18th century and had a son with the interesting name of Domenico Vincenzo Pellegrino Casamassa. There is no documentation connecting her timeline to our Pellegrino, but the name of her son certainly resonates.
• Maria Minutillo, born in Montecalvo in the 17th century and married to a D'Onofrio from Foiano. One of her grandchildren married into the Cassamassa family.
