Thank you for your prompt translation.

Natale Gianonne was illegitimate and born 25 December 1859, in Grotte, Italy. The attached record is taken from a very poor quality film and the handwriting is awful. Can anyone read who his mother was or any other handwritten passages. Any help would be appreciated.

I am using the scanner at the LDS library that is hooked up to the microfilm reader. The equipment is old and I tried to get it as focused as I could before hitting the scan button. It took me several tries to get it as good is this. I even took a picture with my camera, but that was even worse ...

Does this close up help?

No, I do not have a link to the record. I got it from a microfilm thru LDS. Thank you for your efforts.

I am having a problem reading the script on this birth record. I can see who the parents are - Vincenzo Commisso age 32 and Marianna Filomena Mazzeferro, but I know there is more information to be had. I think Vincenzo's father is Giambattista. Does it give his mother's name. Who are Marianna's ...

I am also looking for Peter Lepre's ancestry. I also have been told that he was from Palermo. Have you had any luck?
