Hi Joe

"ambo" means both. So it is saying that both the mother Agnese and the father Pietro were living in Molfetta.

(The address the baby was born: Via Capitano de Gennaro, No 12.)

I suspected so, Pippo.

Here’s Giovanni’s Birth Record (No 194). He was born on 1 November 1876:

He died on 20 November 1876, so he was 20 days when he died. The script is ...

Pippo, it is Record No 23 (Death of Domenico Morabito) on the right

Yes, both Marina Martorana's parents were unknown. I'm reading she was born in Termini Imerese.

You are very welcome, Parker.

Yes, for some time, most of us were having relentless issues trying to access the Forum, post replies, use tools etc. It was not an easy fix. It is great to have everything up and running again.

Hello

Good to hear that Caserta responded so quickly.

Hello Donna

Do the following two links relate. The birth record is for twin sisters, each given different surnames, both left at the front of the door to 26 yo, day labourer, Nicola Gentile’s home, and each were assigned separate wet nurses. From what I can read of the Birth Record, I am ...

I hope you receive an informative reply from your letter, Dennis.

All the best to you for your visit to Cervino. Very exciting!!!

(I don’t think that it is online though?) Therefore, I am wondering whether it might be better to write to ...

@dngaddie

Between 1870 and 1929, the Kingdom of Italy did not recognise church weddings. Consequently, if a couple wanted to be married by both the Italian state and the Church, they had to ...
