Antonio Baldassarre morti

[oilman19]

I can read enough to determine that this is the husband of my great grandaunt. However, the script is defeating me on his parents names.
I have his wife as Maria Giovanna Mattora. His age looks like 69. It looks like his father is Salvatore (deceased). I can't decipher his mother's name.
Please help.

Yes, his father is deceased Salvatore, Jim. I am having trouble making out the mother's maiden name. Her first name looks like Angela.

[maestra36]

age does look like 69

[maestra36]

mother is also deceased, but I still can't make out her last maiden name

Hi Peg,
I had the same problem. I was able to figure out the age because I knew his approximate age and I made 69 fit.
I appreciate your effort. This is a tough one.

Where the mother's name is written "della fu diNardo Angela", so mother is deceased Angela di Nardo.

edited: On second look...I would say her last name is Orlando. That is the last name of the declarant of the death.

Wow! I have been looking at di Nardo's, but I didn't get this one.

Thank you T. and Peg.

I blew it up REAL BIG and saw the second declarant's name...that made me look again at Angela's...

Liking Orlando better than di Nardo

It would be so much easier if there was a printed list of surnames from the town somewhere.

[oilman19]

I think I see it, sort of. It is much easier to see once someone tells you what it is.

Thank you,

Jim

Sounds like a great project, Peg

Wow, you should see the name distribution map for "Orlando"

I saw the do at the end of Angela's surname, but I was stumped on the beginning. Good job, as usual, T.

I used to make use of infospace.com when they had the international phonebooks and one specifically for Italy. You could put in the first letter of a surname and a town name and get an entire list of surnames in a given town. Now that's gone. You can't do the same thing with the Italian white pages now online.

I was looking again at the record and I don't think Orlando is the last name of the one informant. There is a letter preceding what could be Orlando, T.

Is the date of death 8 Aug 1910?
