Thank you for offering to translate. I can't for the life of me get my jpeg document to load in the message.
I pulled the information from Familysearch.org the link is :

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=2043548

It is a really bad copy but that is all I can access. I am only interested in the date and name of the parents of Russo and Puleo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OMG.....this is amazing! I can't thank you enough for your help! My husband's father thought he had no relatives until I started this research. They came to New Orleans in 1894 and had 8 additional children.

The bride's mother was shown on a census in the U.S. as Cecelia Benoite as being Antonina Puleo's mother.

Again thanks so much!

AMAZING....With this information I now reached another wall but very happy to have gotten this translated. One confirmation of information always leads to another question. The help on this is amazing! I must lay off the family tree for a while. It can become an obsession for sure!

ON the Groom side:

It appears Maria Giaimo immigrated to the US in 1891 on the Italia with her daughter also named Antonina who married in New Orleans an Angelo St. Angelo.

It appears Ignazio immigrated to the US in 1894 on the California with his wife Antonina and son Michele.

Now I just will have to figure out if Maria Giamo and Michele Russo had any other children other than Ignazio and Antonina. That may be my next challenge.

Again THANK YOU!

Here's the marriage publication for this marriage and I am clearly reading that Antonina's mother's name is Accurcia:

Prospective Groom: Ignazio Russo, 23, residing in Sciacca, contadino (farmer); son of deceased Michele who resided here in life; and of Maria Giaimo, casalinga (housewife or woman who dedicated herself to domestic duties) residing (si sconosce)

Prospective Bride: Antonina Puleo, 18, residing in Sciacca; daughter of Calogero residing in (si sconosce), and of Accursia Bentivegna, residing in Sciacca.

Bride and groom were both born in Sciacca.

Banns were posted 25 September and 2 October, 5 October 1892

Edit to add: re: si sconosce: my understanding is that this phrase basically means "not known"
