continuing... Here is the birth act of the "middle" Giovanni you found in the Salerno Archives. The one you think MAY be your Giovanni... I was hoping for a notation of marriage, but no. There is a witness to the record named Michele Di Felice, 30... but there are many Di Felice in the town. He is t...

From the manifest lists (sailed and crossed out) in 1905 - it appears that Giovanni Abbenanti (52) and wife, Giovannina De Felice (49), had the following children: ~Giuseppe and Orlando (oldest sons?) who were already in USA (Derby, CT @ 44 Caroline St. or 25 Minor St. on the manifest) when the rest...

As to Giuseppe's correct date of birth... you can also use his marriage act. To marry, the spouses had to produce their birth acts. The age on the marriage act would be accurate. EDIT TO ADD*** Here is the birth act of Pasqualina Antonia Colella [wife of Giuseppe Tessitore] in 1868 in Amorosi . (#52...

Thank you! Ok the only way I would find his actual birth is to find his birth record? Do these all translate the same as Archie’s aside from dates?

Yes, pretty much so.

Just in case I haven't mentioned it before... you can write directly to the comune of Afragola to request the marriage of Angela Balsamo and Vincenzo Giacco in 1930 :-) Send no $$, but do send your photo ID and an email address at which you can be contacted about the possible cost of copying and mai...
