Birth Record for Pasquale Nigro 1899

[frontpagebooks]

Hi! You have no idea how happy I am to have found this forum!!!!! For the first time in 45 years of researching my family I'm immersed in Italian Birth, Marriage and Death records. We JUST found out that my sister has a different father than the rest of us - and my sister is 70 years old! Talk about a SECRET! So....I've found her family and I'm trying to decipher these records to see how they all fit together and what these say. The marriage records are slightly easier to understand, but I can't figure out the birth records - it's just one big paragraph to me.

I can see that the child's name is Pasquale Nigro and it looks like the father's name is Alessandro Nigro and the mother's name is Maria Guiseppa Brescia, but I can't figure out the details after that. I'm hoping that these follow a pattern from one birth record to the next so I can decipher the rest I have with less help. Would someone take a look and help me here? Pasquale Nigro on the right side of the page. THank you so much!
