(Newly Discovered) Misseri's in Corleone, Sicily

So, I needed a break from working through the Carini church records (baptisms, marriages and deaths) and I wanted to see if I could fill in some gaps or blanks within the Misseri line in Corleone, Sicily (yes, that Corleone!). All the individuals below are brand new people that don't appear in any of the online family trees. I think it is amazing that these people are probably being remembered for the time in about 275 years. That's right, 275 years and they are newly discovered. The records are from FamilySearch.org and are from the Monreale, Sicily, parish records.

The surname of Misseri is not very common in Corleone. It is a very, very, small branch that probably originally came from Carini, but I have yet to make the connection. And unfortunately, I may never truly find the link between the two Misseri lines. But that is not going to stop me from trying to complete the families that I know of that lived in Corleone. The distance between Carini and Coleone is about 45 miles. Here are a few AI generated facts about travel times between the two cities to give some context if indeed the Misseri's from Corleone are really from Carini.

Given the terrain between Carini and Corleone:

• Estimated walking time: 20–26 hours of actual walking

• Realistically this means 2–3 days, because travelers rarely walked more than 8–10 hours per day.

For this route:

• Estimated horseback time: 8–10 hours for a single day’s ride

• A cautious or heavily loaded rider might take a full day (10–12 hours).

Without further ado, here they are:
