Hi:
I have on my tree a Rosario Incognito (my maternal great grandfather). I found that he has a twin, Santo Incognito. They were born in Gioiosa on March 25, 1856 and presented by Felicia Bora (who was in charge of a foundling wheel - profession listed as Ruotara). I found a death record for Santo Incognito, however, I cannot read how old he was at death. However, I do read on the record "ruotara". I would greatly appreciate a translation for this record. I will post the link to his birth and the possible death record link.
Birth - Rosario is # 37; Santo is # 39:

Possible Death record for Santo # 44:

Thank you in advance for your help. If the age listed in the death record is about 1 year or 13 months it is probably him.

Santo Incognito Birth and Possible Death Record
It is hoped that the research I am doing helps to discover, preserve and celebrate my family history.

Re: Santo Incognito Birth and Possible Death Record
I see the age at death as 16 days.
Place of death appears to be the home of Felicia Borà, keeper of the wheel.
Date of death 30 April 1857 at 10 AM.

Re: Santo Incognito Birth and Possible Death Record
Santa Incognito was a female.
There's no proof that Santa and Rosario were twins, the were presented to the town hall in 2 different days, Santa on the 24 March 1856 and Rosario the 25th.
All the foundlings were given the surname "Incognito"

Re: Santo Incognito Birth and Possible Death Record
Depends on the year. In some years foundlings were given whatever surname struck the fancy of the person giving the names (e.g. Fortunato, Di Pino, Campanella, Amore, etc.). The 1830s and 1840s offer good birth record examples.liviomoreno wrote:All the foundlings were given the surname "Incognito"
Some foundling names in Gioiosa Marea were more absurd than others. There was the curious assignment of the name "Napoleone Bonaparte" to a foundling in 1885.

What I meant is that in that year, in Gioiosa, all foundling (or most of them) were given the surname of Incognito
