Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!
Welcome to the forum. Your great grandfather had a twin at birth. Here are the birth acts for Domenico and Assunta.
I'm sure someone will be kind enough to translate them for you.
First image is the birth record for Domenico Angiello - twin - first born
1885 August 17
Father is Giuseppe Angiello, 38, mason, living on Via s. Sebastiano.
On 16 of August at 6 PM.
To his wife, Magnifica merenda, housewife, living with him, was born a male baby they named Domenico, a twin with another act following.
Witnesses - Antonio Sanges, 58, and Antonio Forgione.
It looks like image shack is having a problem. I'll have to reload the image when I get home. It looked good when I linked it. Have you seen this kind of problem with image shack before?
At any rate, I'll fix it as soon as I can.
I hope jima signs on to see these records.

Researching surnames Ianniello, Tamburrino, Mattora/Martora/Mattori & Scialla in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, Caserta, Campania.
Birth Act 422 (Domenico's was 421)

Researching the surnames Angiello (Santa Maria Capua Vetere), Dell'Aquila (Caserta?), Sangiorgio and Della Corte (Campania?).

During the mass emigration from Italy during the century between 1876 to 1976, the U.S. was the largest single recipient of Italian immigrants in the world.
