Confirm birth month and day

Post by carolc »

It looks like Rafffaele Migliarese was born on May 12, 1884 but now I've discovered that he came to America and his draft card has March 11. This is the only Raffaele Migliarese listed in 1884 so someone made an error. Can you check and see if the birth record has May 12th or March 11th as the date of birth?

Neither. The birth record lists May 11 1884 as the date of birth.

The birth was recorded on the dodici (12th) of maggio (May).

In the second block, it says "..dichiarato che alle ore antimeridiane una e minuti quindici, del di undici del sudetto mese..." which translates to "...witnessed that at 1:15 AM on the 11th of the above month..."
