1913 birth record from comune

This one may be a challenge. A letter from my Grandfather's comune with his birth information in order to get married in the U.S.

It's sort of long, so advanced thanks for whoever can decipher it.

I got as far as understanding the birth date. Would have been easier if they had used numbers ...

Re: Misspelling and translation question

Is there anything in this document that addresses the Tenga-Tenca issue? And would that be done at the Comune?
Toward the bottom I think I see the name Tenga, but I can't be sure.

I believe it was sent to my grandfather in lieu of a birth certificate when he and my grandmother were married in New ...

Misspelling and translation question

I need a few more things clarified, though I'm sure they've been answered somewhere in the comments along the way.

1. When I ask for my GF's birth certificate, how would I ask for proof that his last name in every single record (both in Italy and the U.S.) is spelled one way (Tenga), and it might ...

Re: Apostille from Italy question

OK, so I don't need to get apostilles attached to my grandmother's or grandfather's birth certificates, since I'll be handing them over to the Italian government—in my case, the Italian Consulate in Boston.

All the other documents from the US—grandparent's marriage certificate, MY parent's marriage ...

Apostille from Italy question

I'm going to be writing requests to the comuni of my grandfather's and grandmother's birthplaces for their birth certificates. Would I be asking the comuni for the apostilles to be attached to the certificates at the same time? I'm a bit muddled about that!

Thanks in advance.

Lustra birth records?

I'm new at trying to find records in Italy sitting here in Maine.
I need to find my grandparents' birth certificates.
Grandfather was born in Lustra in 1886, Grandmother in Perito in 1891.
Anticipating they may not be available, are there any other proofs of birth that I can submit for a jure ...

Am I eligible? GF wasn't a citizen but dad was in WW2

My grandfather was from Lustra, and landed in NYC in 1904. Although he filled out a Declaration of Intention in 1917, he wasn't a citizen when my father was born in Brooklyn, NY in the late 1920s. (The 1940 census has his citizenship as "Al", and he carried an alien registry card stamped in 1942 ...
