translation of marginal note requested

Esteemed colleagues:

Here is a link to the birth of (#1284) Felicia Castellana. Can someone please translate the marginal note? I'm pretty sure that she married Tommasso Gambino in 1900, but this doesn't resemble other marriage notations that I've seen on birth records. Thanks.

Re: How to find a street address

Yikes, I didn't see the second page of this thread.

So there is discrepancy on Linda Sullivan's death certificate about the informant "miss Anna Sullivan" and her 1937 address and wouldn't she be going by her married name?

Regarding the ancestors of Bridget/Linda, the 1937 death certificate shows ...

Re: How to find a street address

If we examine the 1937 death certificate for Linda Sullivan:
https://a860-historicalvitalrecords.nyc.gov/view/6681307
we find two pertinent addresses, with some fuzziness about the identity of the surrounding neighborhood. The front indicates 28-47 46th Street, Astoria and "LI". The second page ...

Re: Help with 1950 Census Record

The address at the top of the sheet is 9016 Albert Road, followed by 9026 Pitkin Avenue. Pitkin resumes below with number 9044. What census-takers do/did is return (out of sequence) to houses where no one was home (or answered) during the first pass. The address 9016 Albert Road (technically 90-16 ...

For this particular post, though, I could not post the message in its entirety (the error message was "Forbidden, you don't ...

Re: Making sense of the Castelbuono marriage of Pietro Bertola

fourth installment:

And for the cherry on top, Pietro's mother identified with the "Laluna" (or whatever) surname on his death act.

So I'm seeing three distinct clerical errors that had me going in circles in some very muddy water. Feedback is welcome!!

Re: Making sense of the Castelbuono marriage of Pietro Bertola

Third installment:

My interpretation:
I'm assuming in the two instances where the civil documents (1832 marriage, 1868 death) identify Pietro's father as "Antonio", it means "Antonio Bertola". That Pietro's grandfather is also named Pietro (as per Antonio's 1850 death) fits well with the naming ...

Re: Making sense of the Castelbuono marriage of Pietro Bertola

Second Installment:

- In the 1868 death act for Pietro Bertola he is identified as the widower of Santa Collesano; his parents are identified as [fu Antonio & Antonia Laluna]; I am uncertain that I am reading Antonia's surname correctly (and welcome alternate opinions), but it certainly does not ...
