Section of Allegati-Pietro Catalano

Post by lilbees »

I am not sure what this section says. Are there relationships defined in it? What is the significance of the November 1880 date? Am interested in the father of Pietro. I know it is Francesco and Caterina La Magra (Magro). Do not know name of Francesco's father and mother for sure. Pietro was first married in San Stefano Quisquina, Girgenti, became a widower and remarried in 1909 in Lercara Friddi. Would San Stefano Quisquina comune still be in the same province (Agrigento). The first wife was from, according to her death record, from Villa Frahi. Can't even guess what comune that is.

I have not fully read it yet...
Pietro Catalano's birth was not registered in the town hall and this is a declaration made February 2 1886 at the court of Lercara by 5 witnesses proving that Pietro was born...

None of the witnesses knows the exact birth date by they, separately confirmed that he was about 28years old...
The November 11 1880 date is the baptism date.
The handwritten number on the top-right of the pages are in the wrong order. the correct order is 1-3-2-4-5-7-6-8

Was there anything else in that section besides the witnesses testifying about Pietro's birth? What were the names of the witnesses?

Thank you

1 - Nicolò Schiro son of Davide aged 54 he was a neighbor of Francesco Catalano and he saw that there was a child living with him as a son who was called Pietro
2 - Nicolò Tugholino (?) aged 56, priest, he knew that an adult claiming to be Pietro son of Francesco Catalano and Caterina Magro was baptized on Nov 11 1880
3 - Giuseppe Angolone, 43, landowner, son of Gaetano - he was invited by Francesco Catalano to be the godfather of Pietro (aged 24 at this time) at his baptism
4 Giambattista Muratore, 52, son of Gaetano, shoemaker - He knew Pietro to be a bricklayer, aged 28.
5 Francesco Pia??? son of DEceased Pietro aged 74 farmer He knew Pietro to be a bricklayer, aged 28.

All the witnesses also declared that they did not know why Pietro's birth was not announced at the town hall.
