Darn. Google told me it meant dead. But that’s why I checked! Thanks.

I’m interested in the last part at the bottom of this Foti birth act, “Dominicus Rombes obt Joanna Miceli”
Just want to confirm my assumption that this is Latin for Domenico fu Giovanni.

Stanislao is a deputy chancellor, his name is all over the place as bureaucratic functionary on people’s documents… but obviously this is familial. I don’t usually look at marriage supplements and notarized testimony. Is this… normal? Is she a minor?

Actually I don’t know if it’s Qualtiere or Gualtiere, and Cognomix lists both. Widow of Placido, mother of Letteria. Not really sure why Letteria is listed. Is her daughter just giving testimony that dad is dead so she is free to remarry Stanislao?

Yes, many branches of my grandmother’s family were wiped out. Luckily for me she’d emigrated a few years earlier.

I’m treating most recorded deaths in 1909, even in March and May, as earthquake deaths if they mention cadaver, even if they don’t say earthquake explicitly. I assume everything was ...

I can’t tell what’s going on lol

When did she die, 1908 or 1912

Makes more sense!

I’d actually like it to be Tama, but it’s a weird T and looks… off

What do you think it says? FamilySearch thinks it’s Tama. I’m not sure…

The first note says he removed Ferro from Cagliari Ferro in 1914.

The next one, he married someone named Grazia in 1917 in Siracusa? I’m not sure of the wife’s surname.

And lastly, he died… Russia… war… 1948? I dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very interesting, thanks!

I think I understand that the birth of Carmelo was legitimized by the marriage and that (I think) the surname switched (Perri -> Rombes), but then the mention of Domenico was confusing, as was a birth record for Domenico with no margin notes.

Oh, yes, ok, she has a half-brother from her father’s first marriage; he’s about 10 years older. I was confused because her father was still alive. Guess he couldn’t handle things, so pawned her off.

Unfortunately I’ve never been able to find out more about Dorotea as she died when her girls were ...

Two questions about this guy who married his wife’s younger sister:

1. In other records, his mother Concetta had the same surname as his dad, but here it’s different but I can’t read it.

2. There is a note about the sister aspect of this marriage, but I can’t quite read it and also I’m not sure ...

Is Demetrio’s dad Giorgio?
Is his mom Cecilia Filocamo?
Wife Angela Romeo?

That’s what it looks like, just want to confirm.

Just checking to see if others are getting errors as well. I accessed it yesterday without issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
