Names and Profession, Sicilian birth record

Post by Rossonero3 »

I'm looking for help with a couple items on this birth record from Sciacca, Agrigento Sicilia. I know the father's name is Accursio Vitale but I cannot read what his profession is. It looks like 'Fallegnome'?
I also can't make out the first and last name of his wife either. I also attached the table of contents, it's 2nd line from the bottom, the child is Antonino Vitale.

Grazie.

The father's profession is "falegname" - carpenter. (correctly spelled with only one "l" :-) )

Mother's name is Crocifissa Guerreri.

As you probably figured out by now, the mother Crocifissa Guerreri had the name Maria Crocifissa Curreri on her 1837 birth record and 1859 marriage record. Here she is in my tree:

Also, the child Antonino died 7 months later.
