Hey everybody, just wondering if I could possibly get some help translating a birth certificate? I apologise for the terrible image, but could only use a digi-cam to capture it(downloading or re-sizing may help, as I have uploaded a large image). Many thanks for any help!

Re: Birth Certificate
Paolo Pietro Vettraiono was born on January 25 1864 in Belmonte, to Giovanni Vettraino aged 26 and Teresa Vettraino aged 27. He was baptized the same day.
The presentation of the baby to the town hall was done by Giuseppe Farignoli aged 50, and there is no explanation why the father did not present the baby.

Re: Birth Certificate
At the risk of being pushy, would it be possible for anybody to help me with this 2nd certificate?

I would like the column on the right of the 1st image, and the column on the left on the 2nd image translated(I think the two are the same entry). Many thanks again with all the help.

Re: Birth Certificate
Hi simondavid2008 
Page 1 and 2 LEFT side are the same entry... Right side is entry concerning the baptism of Giovanni
Page 1 - Right side states that Giovanni was baptized on the 21 of June (same day he was born).
Left side is the birth record...
On 21 June 1839 @ noon, appeared Angelo Rizza, 36, peasant farmer at the town hall to declare that a male child
Page 2 -
was born to Maria di Cicco, his legitimate wife, 29. The child was born on 21 June of the current year at 3 AM, and they named him Giovanni.
Witnesses:
Domenico Vettraino, 39, peasant farmer and Salvatore Vettraino, 50, peasant farmer. Both resided in Belmonte.
Only Angelo (the declarant) signed because the others were illiterate.

Re: Birth Certificate
Hi Tessa, thanks for your reply, I thought Salvatore was the father(although his age did pose a question) thanks for your help in confirming that he was not, thanks again!
