Here's a link to a scan of the birth record that shows "Cargese....".



It's on the first line of the scan.

I'm wondering if it's a form of the word "carregiatta"?

Thanks to everyone for your help.

The record says: "Cargese domiciliato in Salemi...."

A record from 2 years later shows this man ...
