Biagio Li Calsi 1881 Birth Record

Post by ItalianbellaSA »

Hi Everyone:

I have a birth record for my cousin's paternal grandfather, Biagio Li Calsi. I could use a little help translating some information (especially on the side bar which mentions the date August 29, 1904).

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=2051639

This is what I have so far (please correct if information is not accurate):

Date of Birth: October 16, 1881

Name: Biago Li Calsi

Father: Angelo Li Calsi (age 43 - Born 1838)

Mother: Francesca Paolo Triolo (age 30 - Born 1851)

Address: Via Castanza, #11, Borgetto, Palermo, Sicily

There is information written on the right side bar that I do not understand. Also, I looked in the records for the birth records for Angelo and Francesca Paolo Triolo without success. The record states that they are living in Borgetto, however, it does not give where they were born.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

"In virtù di sentenza resa dal Tribunale Civile di Palermo del 2 agosto 1901, l'ufficiale dello Stato Civile di Borgetto è stato autorizzato a rettificare l'atto di nascita di Li Calsi Biagio ove è detto Li Calsi dicesi invece (*)"Li Causi".

Thank you for your time. Do you know what the information on the side bar is indicating? Did he change his name from Li Calsi to Li Causi?

The officer must correct the surname "Li Calsi" to "Li Causi"

I am looking for his immigration records. I know that when he settled in Hoboken, NJ he went by the surname LiCalsi.
