Where can I find information about midwives (levatrice) in Genoa (late 1800s)?

[Luciano Tolenti]

I know! thank you for the reminder! I sent the correction right after first email right away I sent it but here I just copy and paste the first email and forgot to mentioned the correction.

Si prega di notare una correzione nel cognome della levatrice: il nome corretto è Angela GHISALBERTI in DACCÀ (non Dacia). Il parto è avvenuto il 20/07/1877 in Vico di Ponticello 6.

And mmogno how do you do the research on those two webpages? what is the map to find her there_

Ciao Angela.

Thank you for pointing that out. I agree that the house number on Gerolamo Tolenti's birth certificate is 6. However, in three other certificates under the letter T from 1877 that I found, also reporting the births of foundlings by Angela, the number 7 is indicated.

Hi

Yes! A genius! And it's interesting that on all those pages the mothers ask not to be named! It must be that it was a place where only mothers who decided not to give their names and took their babies to the orphanage went.
