It is important to make a note about the surnames in this Catasto. There are a number of surnames in this Catasto that are spelled different than surnames in later years. For example, Leonetti is spelled Lionetti (there are also a few diLionetti names) in this Catasto. Some surnames have di or d' added to the beginning of the name. Names like Filippo can be diFilippo in this Catasto. Please check multiple spellings of the surnames you are searching for and check the index page for under the letter D to see if your surname had a d' or di during this time period. If the surname you are searching for begins with De like DeLuca, DeSeta, etc. you will find your ancestors under diLuca, diSeta, etc.
