Hello,

Trying to understand the name in a baptism record from the town of Joppolo Giancaxio, Agrigento, Sicily. The record is from 1872 for a baby born out of wedlock. The mother's name is listed, but at the beginning of the record, the name Cajetanus (?) appears. I'm wondering if anyone has any ...

Thank you. Very interesting and confusing at the same time.

Hello,

I am able to understand this records but am stuck on the section where the mother is listed as "unmarried woman who is not related...." I don't fully understand this entry. The father was married and already had children. The family went back to Italy for a while before returning to the US ...

Ciao Rita,

It seems that Nicholas Gentile, the son of Biondina, died in 1978. The attached records are from a special payment that was made for men who fought in World War II from Pennsylvania. You will see his birthday in 1924 & the second page it says the names of his parents. I searched further ...

Ciao Rita,

Giuseppe died from heart disease. If Biondina & Giuseppe were related you may be able to find this out through the Comune in Italy where they were born. I will look for information on Nicholas, the son of Biondina. If alive, he would be about 90 years old. We should not communicate on ...

Ciao Rita,

MARRIAGE PLACE: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
MARRIAGE ...

Ciao Rita,

Non ti preocupare. Il tuo inglese e multo bene. Meglio che il mio italiano :)

Is it possible that Biondina was a cousin of your Giuseppe Lalli? If you look at the death certificate for Giuseppe the person who gave the information (Informant) was Biondina Gentile. In 1920 Biondina Di ...

Ciao, Come ti chiami?

From your post:
I would like to ask you some info:
- What means be OWNER of a grave,
Owner = Proprietario della tomba. Ususally it is a family member. I have seen people buried in graves owned by neighbors, friends, others.

I called Holy Cross Cemetery & this is the information they supplied:

Joseph Lalli
Buried in Section 47, Range 7, Lot 38 Grave North

He is the only person in this grave. The owner of the grave is Biondina Gentile

She could not tell me if there is a tombstone is there.

I will not be able to get ...

Hello Helen,

The poster contacted me by PM also requesting contact with Holy Cross. Like you, I live in the area. I do not want to duplicate efforts. I believe the person is writing from Italy so they cannot call the cemetery. If you are contacting the cemetery, I will not. Enjoy the snow!

Hi Livio, Thanks for taking a look. I will try and see if I can get a better copy.

Have a great day.

Thanks Livio for the translation. There is another notation that is hard to make out the handwriting. No problem if you can't see the letters. I tried to make it better but.....
