Hello. I'm new to this site. It has some very helpful information. I'm experienced on ancestry.com but it only goes so far. I'm trying to build my Cardillo tree. I'm a beginner at Italian records. Just learning how to find them. I'm only back to my great great Grandfather. The family came from Cannitello, Reggio Calabria to New York. His name is Francesco Cardillo, wife Giovanna Bellentone. Children born there are Letterio, my great grandfather, and Dominica, his sister. I'm sure this is her birth record. Also think maybe this is Francesco' s birth record? Struggling here! Any help or advice is appreciated.

Top Record

Domenica Cardillo was born on the August 24, 1894, in the house on via Ferrata (without a number) to Giovanna Bellentone, a spinner, the wife of Francesco Cardillo, a day laborer. Both were living in Cannitello. Francesco was absent from the town and did not make the declaration of the birth, or presentation of the infant, at the town hall. The midwife did so in his absence.

Bottom record

Francesco Cardillo was born on the Jan 24, 1859 to Letterio Cardillo, the son of deceaesed Francesco (Cardillo). He was age 40 and a barber, living in Cannitello. His wife Domenica Bellentone was age 26.
