Am I translating this correctly?

Post by jessicarucco »

Hi Everyone - I am hoping that someone can tell me if I am translating the record for Caterina Rucco correctly -

here is the link: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... n614845997

So here is what I came up with:

She died on July 29th, 1909 at 11:15

Her parents were Antonio Rucco and Maddalena Bovienzo.

The age is where I am really struggling - does that say 57? I don't think its possible because her parents were not even married until 1874.

Thanks in advance!

So here is what I came up with:

She died on July 29th, 1909 at 9:05 AM (recorded at 11:15)

Her parents were deceased Antonio Rucco and deceased Maddalena Bovienzo.

The age is where I am really struggling - does that say 57? YES I don't think its possible because her parents were not even married until 1874.

She was the widower of Giovanni Rauso, and the wife of Lorenzo Conte

Thanks in advance!
You read the age correctly, 57. It is possible if she were born before their marriage ... Do you have the marriage record of Antonio Rucco and Maddalena Bovienzo?

Thank you so much for your help! I figured out the discrepancy - I had Caterina's parents mixed up with one generation younger, but straightened it out. I clearly should have had more coffee today! :)
