Post by k8landers »

I would really appreciate help with translations of these. I can figure out the dates (usually) but get confused as to which name is which.

Hi Katie,

Found a way to really enlarge the first document, so here is what I read:

1875 day 19 September at 11:10 AM appeared Giacomo Spera, 49, peasant farmer residing in Capestrano, and Domenico Spera, 42, peasant farmer residing in C., to delcare that at 5:30 AM today on Via Vallone #28, died Antonia Spera, age 9 months and 15 days. Daughter of Angelo Spera, peasant farmer and Luisa Lancione (sp?).

I'll check the others again...

The second document is a tough one...

What I read:

Record is dated 1874 on August 6

Declarants (whose names I can't decipher) declare that on the night of the 5th of the current month died Giuseppe Cerasoli, 73, laborer, born and residing in Capestrano, son of deceased Michele and deceased Marta (sp?) XXXXXX.

This document gets fuzzy as you enlarge it, but I think I've got it:

Death took place on 7 December 1896
Luisa Cerasoli, age 69, peasant farmer, daughter of deceased Giuseppe, peasant farmer, and deceased Annarosa Sacinaro (sp?), peasant farmer, wife of Vincenzo Di Loreto.
