Hi, please help us (Paula Musciotto) read a Birth record from Geraci Siculo.
The record is located here:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cat=486172
Images 2063-4.
It is part of the Allegatti for the marriage of Antonio Musciotto & Maria Grazia Valenza from 1878 #5.
It is for Antonio Musciotto, Cert # - 75 - 1851.
I've attached copies of the record also.
Thank you once again,
Gary
