* Italian to English translation help!!

[dmdione]

Hello, I am trying to understand this birth certificate. I can translate most all of the pre-typed words, but I am having problems reading/translating the hand written parts. The hand written paragraph in the first section is the most difficult. I am looking to translate word for word so I can include the exact translated meaning in a family book I am writing.

It's my understanding that this baby was abandoned and given the name listed.

Thank you very much!

Have you posted an image of this birth certificate?

[dmdione]

I did, but I don't see it here. I will try again.

Thanks

I added a link here: www.dmdione.com/cert.jpg

I bow to one of the seasoned translators as I could not do word for word. I am sure that now that you have posted the image, someone will help you!

[dmdione]

Thank you. I would appreciate any translation you can offer. The end result will be word for word, but for now, I welcome any input.

Thanks,
Dave

I'm very sorry but all that is jumping out at me is that the birth was in the Comune of Popoli, Gabriele Dione?

[dmurphy1940]

And it is a very interesting record. I know someone will help!

[dmdione]

From what I can translate, there is no mother or father listed due to the baby being abandoned.

Thank you for helping!

Gabriele Dione was abandoned in the foundling wheel, in Popoli, on the 29th of January 1843. Name and surname were imposed by the Official.

[dmdione]

Thank you. What do you mean by the foundling wheel?

[dmdione]

Ahh, never mind. I just researched what foundling wheel means. Thank you! Is that information in the hand written paragraph?

Here is a literal transcription of the hadwritten paragraph.

….the said child was found last night in the foundling wheel of this Comune with a swaddling band and fasciatoio of linen and a double fasciatoio of wool, without any apparent distinguishing marks on the body. We the officials of the state, after having examined the child, whom we have verified to be a boy, of about one day of age, have given the order that he be delivered to Don Giostefano Antonucci, the deputy for foundlings.

The word “fasciatoio” today is translated as a change table, but I’m not sure what it’s meaning was in 1843. Sounds like some extra swaddling cloths. It sounds like this baby’s family was well off. I’ve seen records where babies were left with torn rags. Let me know if there are any other parts you need help with.

WOW! Thank you Mary! I have translated most of the rest with Google translate. I plan on posting my translated portion here as well once complete. Maybe you could look it over and see if it makes sense?

THANK YOU AGAIN!

Mary, I added your translation to mine and have pasted it here. How does it look? Some of it flows nicely - other parts, not so much. Thank you!
