Re: unusual birth record

I just discovered your findings by googling "Elisabetta Todaro," Angela! Grazie mille for the extensive research. We concur on the two errors in Domenica's birth record. Otherwise, both my paternal grandfather and great-grandfather may have shared a quirk: Since Andrea didn't like grandma Irena ...

Re: unusual birth record

Grazie, Angela. I'd have read this sooner, but instead kept checking my email, where I expected reply notifications.
My confusion about this record leaves unsolved the question of whether my great grandfather had remarried. Records suggest that Elisabetta and my great grandmother Maria Teresa Todaro ...

unusual birth record

Domenica's mother of record was Elisabetta Todaro, wife of Salvatore Irianni. The lined name "Vaccaro" in the attached image isn't recorded elsewhere in the birth record. Please explain this and the meaning of "d'co."

Re: translation

Can't access familysearch.org catalog from this PC. I'm thinking that the word is a variation, perhaps archaic, of cancelliere, meaning registrar. What do you think?

translation needed

My grandfather's 1885 birth record includes a description of his apparel. The phrases "un panno di acira" and "una cinta di vagramma" are clearly written. Are "acira" and "vagramma" archaic or dialectic terms? What do they refer to?
The document image in question can be found at "bambino's apparel ...

Re: bambino's apparel

The deputy secretary to the mayor of Agnone, Campbasso apparently named grandpa after Pope Nicholas III (Giovanni Gaetani Orsini). His balia may have offered Angelo as a middle name, since her deceased father was named Giovannangelo.

Grandpa went by "Orsine," and his thick Italian accent resulted ...

Re: bambino's apparel

Thanks Carmine. As I stated, the only untranslated text involves the two phrases and the margin entry, which begins "visto .... . nove Maggio 1885."
My grandfather's foundling status is documented by the words "ruota dei proietti" in the first line of the birth record continuation.

great great great grandpa's occupation

If a birth record from Agnone, Campobasso from 1812 records the father's occupation as cannavaro, what was he doing for a living?
