Could somebody please help translate this birth record. I am trying to find information on my great grandfather that came over from Montemaggiore Belsito, Italy. I was only able to make out a few words. I came not figure out the mothers name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tammy

Re: Translation help
Nasca is the correct surname. It is still current in the town.
