Made some corrections/suggestions above. Will look at pages 2 and 3 to see if I can read this clerks AWFUL handwritingbvbellomo wrote:I tried using FamilySearch's photoduplication to get an allegeti. It looks like they only sent the first 3 pages of a longer record.

Here is what I came up with for the first page:
This is a solemn promise to marry - with the church celebration recorded in the right column...
Date of Record is 13 February 1830
Date of Wedding: February 14th 1830? At the church, YES
Groom: Vincenzo Ferrara
Age: 15? I see age 18
Born: Paleppriett? I believe that what you see is POLIZZI crossed out
Profession: Servidore? Yes, I think this is SERVITORE/servant
Father: Paolo, dead at time of wedding YES
Mother: Carmella Tenco, dead but lived in Palermo? surname could be IENCO
Bride: Rosa Mazzola
Age: 19
born and living in Polizzi
daughter of Santo, age 49? YES
profession: Finaere? ???
mother: Maria Sciachinno? Possibly Schiacchitano
age: 50
There is something written in the right margin and bottom of the right column that I can't read. I believe these are corrections to the words crossed out in the left column, then the signature of the official for each correction (D. Borgese)
Can someone who can read this correct what I have? I put a "?" next to things I can't read at all, but I would appreciate checking that I am correct on the other items as well.
Page 2 looks like it has a list of items in the allegeti. I would appreciate this list, so I know what FamilySearch didn't send me. I can't read the rest of page 2 or page 3 (except the typed script).

I am not sure how he had an "act of the family council" - I assumed he lived in Palermo until his whole family died, then took a job as a servant following someone important to Polizzi, and had no family there. Rosa's parents were from Castlebuono, so they were both foreigners to a small town. This could be more my interpretation than anything else.
There are Ferraros all over Sicily including Polizzi, but no names like 'Ienco' in Polizzi, and no other records of a 'Paolo Ferraro' in Polizzi. Names tend to stay in families, and it is surprising Vincenzo didn't name a son Paolo, but if he had simblings in the town, odds are one of them would have.
