SFWILM It has been my experience with the Palermo birth records as well as marriage,from more than one sezione,they will be the documents. With some you are lucky enough to find an index usually at the end of each year. Indexes can be hit & miss.Tana

What is the film number & sezione? I will take a look to see if I can help. Tana

Would appreciate help with this 1767 Baptism record from Chiesa cattolica. Santa Maria Nuova (Monreale). I know the child's name & his parents but there is some confusion abt the date as the date written above the record is the 23rd but in the index, which was created sometime later, states the 24th ...

Thanks Livio. Enjoy your weekend.

Livio,
Thank you for helping with the details. I appreciate the time you give to all of us on this site. I imagine I can assume that it is meant that Anna Galati is sister to Laurenzio & not an aunt to Anna. Would it not state that she was her Aunt? Something else, given Anna Bosano's name would you ...

Thank you Rancelli for responding. You are right it is rather tough.

Does this record possibly state where he died, burial or any other important information. Seems as if the Priest used a lot of ...

To Pippo & Lucap,
Thank you so much for helping with the translation. Now it is on to his death recorded in the church records.

Marty,
Thank you for your response. I sometimes think I'm a complete dunce and researching Sicily isn't making me think any better of myself. Truth is I printed out the complete list (35 pgs many double sided) of civil records for Palermo some months ago when I grew tired of scrolling through page ...
