Thanks, Julio for the information. What I am trying to do is find Maria Christo's baptism record to confirm her being a biological member of this family. Thanks for your input.

I also looked for some kind of will and there was none. I did not find that they owned any land so I tend to think they did not have any wealth.

I have not communicated with him for a number of years.
