Sorry guys. This is a copy I got of microfilm and even my copy is not that great. Is there a website that can help me do some translating on my own? Just curious.

cefalo2,

On the registry before the birth act it states that his parents are Domenica Marrone and Francespaolo Colantoni. This is a girl that was born to them not a boy? It is Luizia not Luigi? Thanks for the help.

I think so...

You may have a better copy of this birth act at home...

Take a look at the line above her name..

does it say "bambinA"...? "di dare alla bambina"?

I know it's not Luigi's birth act... but it's either Luizia or I think "L u i g i a ' s" record.

On my great grandfathers birth act, I can't read the handwritten parts. The cursive is hard to read. Who could help me with that part?
