Translation of interesting birth record

Hi. I was hoping someone could do a thorough translation of this birth record for my great grandfather, Vincenzo Russo. I understand it is an 1899 registration in Teggiano of his birth occurring in Brooklyn, New York in 1892. But curious as to what else it says as it seems there’s a lot more here ...

Re: Translations of Italian documents

Marty,

Thanks for your help. In regard to Maria Cusenza, I believe I pulled the record off an 1882 book. Also her mother was Antonina Lamanna. Thanks for the rest though.

In regard to the prior death certificate for Maria Rotolo, can you did her age when she died? Thank you

Re: Translations of Italian documents

Marty,

I was thinking 28 May 1919 too but cannot quite tell, but I was basing it off the partial record below. What do you think? It's a little clearer there.

Also, could you figure out Giuseppe's age at death? Thanks.

Re: Translations of Italian documents

Thank you very much for that. I was unsure of his occupation, but to me it looks like carpenter as well. I look forward to further translations from all of you great volunteers.

Translations of Italian documents

I was able to pull these documents from the LDS from Santa Margherita, Sicily.

I can make out most of it but I am unclear on certain details. Would someone be able to translate these? They are the birth certificates of my g-g grandparents and then the death certificates of who I believe to be are ...

Re: Death certificate translation

Thanks so much for your help! Unfortunately none of these ages match up to a relative of mine. I'm awaiting more films from the LDS family history library, so hopefully they will lead to something else. Thank you again, you are a bunch of great people.

Re: Death certificate translation

Ok I finally got the image sharing site to cooperate with my computer. I had to use a Mac....

Can anyone help me translate these? These may be my relatives, not quite sure. It depends on the dates/ages/family members listed on the certificates. Also if they discuss a cause of death, that would be ...

Anagrafe

Hello. Does anyone have any experience with an anagrafe office in Italy? What do they provide and when does it make sense to contact them versus the civil records office?

I requested some documents on my g-g grandfather, Cono Russo, from his commune in italy and they responded with a few of the ...

Re: Translation of an email from civil records office

Thank you. I mailed a letter to them in January and received an email response. I assume I can reply via email and continue that way.

It is obvious that they are busy in their office with these types of requests. How do I respond and say the following,? I am, in fact, seeking much information from ...

Re: Help with a ship manifest - origin of passenger

Ok so I ordered Giuseppe Morello's naturalization documents from the NARA and it's an older form unlike ones I've seen before. It's from 1906 with his declaration of intent dated in 1899. Neither one states his place of birth aside from just saying Italy. Back to square one....

I'm going to order ...
