Giuseppa Chijna

Her name I take from her son’s death record. I do not find her in the death indices of Ozieri from 1866-1905, although she is indicated as dead by the time of her son’s death. A death before 1866 is certainly possible here. Look for other Chijna deaths to see if she’s involved in the reporting, and extrapolate from there. I only find one Chijna death, spelled Chijina, at 1866 entry 76, a Maddalena Chijina Culeddu, age perhaps 28 (so born c. 1838?) reported dead perhaps by Giovanni Chijina Culeddu, both perhaps children of Antonio. Siblings? They would not be Giuseppa’s siblings, but perhaps Antonio would be.

Entries possibly read as Chijna in the Nughedu rolls are perhaps better read as Chijsa or Chejsa, although none of the options are certain. These entries include a Giuseppa Francesca (age 2?), a daughter of Cicia and a ’padre incerta’, who died in 1876; an Antonia, daughter of Giovanni and Francesca, who died in 1877 .

Giuseppa married Gioi Andrea Corosu.
