Note on Mother

[darkerhorse]

Can someone translate the note on the mother, Rosa Barone?

Sort of half-baked "answer" here...

I can't read the word after Barone, but it looks like Rosa Barone was a seamstress (cucitrice), wife of Giuseppe Pitruzzello, peasant, both domiciled and residents of Melilli, and that the postscript annotation deletes the word Barone and ______ di Mauro (?) was approved?

Yeah, I suspected her correct surname was DiMauro.

Thanks.

I confirm the correct word is "cucitrice", that means "seamstress" and the meaning of the sentence is correct.
About the postscript annotation, it means "it is deleted the word Barone and it is changed with Di Mauro, that is approved".
So the correct surname was Di Mauro (so written, because in Italy the surnames beginning with Di or De are written with a space between the first and the second part, even if in the USA these surnames are written without that space).

Thanks for the confirmation and clarification.

Among my ancestors, I have a few surnames with "di" or "de" and the spelling varies, even within nuclear families - some omit the di, some use an apostrophe, some leave a space, some combine the words, etc.
