Also, what is meant by vita in questa?

Thank you, :D

Hi Diane, :-)

"vita in questa" means that the deceased lived in this comune while alive...

Here's what I see in the record, others will fill in the missing info :-D

Act of Marriage
9 May 1903 at 10 AM at the Town Hall

Angelo Politi, single, 27 years old, carpenter, son of deceased Michele, who lived in this town, and of deceased Vincenza (can't read the surname completely) who lived in this town.
AND
Santa Lanzafame, 19, worker, daughter of Antonio and of Giuseppa Costa.

Thank you Tessa. That was a big help. The surname you couldn't read was Tomasello. The only reason I knew that was because it was given to me.

Thanks for your quick response. :D
