Re: birth record help

come sopra = as above. means from the same town.

other part is not another name but rather noting that he (the father mentioned above) declares (lui dichiarate), same age, same place (come sopra again)...

right side is baptism record, left side is civil birth record.

Re: "Stato delle Anime" - Census?

literally means state of the souls which was the parish's way to account for a census of sorts. most parishes performed them at regular intervals. in my "hometown" they were performed in 1627, 1640, 1649, 1654 and into the 18th century. they are a great source of information for families and ages.
