Girolamo Ruffinu

Girolamo Ruffinu married Maria Masala in Nule in 1790. Nule's record of that marriage appears on two consecutive pages shown here on the right. Girolamo appears in the Nule "matricola" records for the first time in this same year, described in those records as a "maestre" or expert in some sort of skill. This record is also shown here, on the right. These two attestations are currently the earliest pieces of documentary evidence we have for any Ruffini ancestor. The record of this marriage tells us that Girolamo's parents were Domenico Ruffino and Maria Ciana (?). Maria is described as being from Sassari, and Girolamo is described as being from Benetutti, a village just down the hill from Nule.

Girolamo's children from this marriage include Luigi Ruffinu, muratore and Giuseppe Ruffinu.
