Question on a marriage document

Post by cj11788 »

Hello,

I have a question for someone.

The attached file is for the marriage of Maria Nolfo and Rosario Bruno from 1825. My question is on Maria's family. I know her parents are Paolo Nolfo and Mattea Verdi. but is Antonio in the underlined section Mattea's father? I mention that because I have Mattea's death from 1833 and it has her father as Giuseppe Verdi.

Thank you

Chris

The document is saying that Mattea's father is the late Antonino. It reads Mattea Verdi in Rolfo, and then the "fi" for the beginning of the word figlia is hard to see. The next line starts with "glia" which is the rest of the word figlia for daughter. Then you have "del fu Antonino Verdi."

Thanks Erudita.

That's what I thought. I find it interesting That this document from 1825 has a different father for Maria than a document from 1833.
