Re: Help translating a baptismal record!!!!!!

Better get someone else's check, but anyway, this is my guess:
Day 16th of the same (month and year as the record before).
I, priest Giovanni Governati, after licence of te reverend ?, baptized a male child born yesterday at 1 p.m., from Antonino Mancuso and Rosaria Buccheri (or Bucchini?) spouses ...

Re: Occupation - fabricatore

"Fabbricatore", is the italianization of the Campania dialect word "Fravecatore", that means "bricklayer".
It is also a quite common surname.

Re: Translation of marriage certificate of Maddalena Bassane

It seems that Maddalena is the one you're looking for, as her parents' name are the same as you mention. But groom's name is Battista Robustelli Della Cana of the late Giuseppe

Re: Help Translating Birth Record - Lorenzo Pelorosi

Names of streets changed a lot during the last 100 years.
Till the 1800s streets were named after their direction (via (towards) Town), or particular places or stores that were in it. Via del calcinaio should literally mean the streets where there was a place where lime (I don't know if this word is ...

Re: Help Translating Birth Record - Lorenzo Pelorosi

My guess is:
"Pelorosi Nicola, 28 years, peasant"
Address "via del calcinaio"
What do you think about it?

Re: Pillitierie LaMantia marriage 1856

That should be the address, but I can't read it.
If not even sure the address is referred to the town of Palermo.

Re: Help Translating Baptism Record

About what is written after "Fasano" I have an idea, but I'm not sure at all.
So, if noone tells an opinion, I will tell you.
"natum die nudius tertius" means "born three days counting up to today", that is "two days before". As he was baptized on 13th, he was born 11th.

Re: Please help translate 1765 Cinisi Marriage record

For non-italian speakers:
On one hand dispensation was necessary to avoid marriages between too strictly related people (with all the connected genetic and ethical problems) but on the other, as long as I know, it was also a way for the Church to get money. In fact, dispensation was connected to a ...

Il fatto è che, a parte le giuste verifiche fatte per evitare che ci si sposasse tra parenti troppo stretti, con le conseguenti tare che potevano derivarne, oltre ai problemi "etici", diventava uno strumento per battere cassa (ne parlo sempre per sentito dire, non per aver consultato fonti storiche ...

Re: Please help translate 1765 Cinisi Marriage record

Diciamo che per quanto affermo mi baso solo sull'esperienza personale; non ho conoscenza del diritto canonico. Quello che intendevo dire è che forse i gradi di parentela possono essere (o essere stati) misurati con criteri diversi.

Luca,
il "grado di consanguineità" definito dalla Chiesa non è lo stesso definito dal Diritto, per esempio, per la successione ereditaria.

Re: Please help translate 1765 Cinisi Marriage record

The surname is definitely Cannilo or Cannila.
I can read no ages.
If you can't read Italian, Luca noted that on both acts it's remarked that they had to get a special permission for marriage ("Dispensa apostolica"), as they were 3rd degree relatives (probably second cousins).

Re: Need help with a Partinico death record - 1850 - BRUSCA

Well, if dates are right, this doubt is solved by the document of the other post:
if Casimiro was 80 in 1850, he must have been born abt 1770, and by that time his father was already widower of Vincenza, and husband of Anna.
Anyway, I find it hard to read, but I can't see any mention of his parents ...
