Post by molan »

Hi, please help us read a Death record from Geraci Siculo. The online record is here.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=1947613

It is the 1878 Death Act #59 of Domenica Musciotto - daughter of Silvestro Musciotto & Rosaria Callari.

I've attached a copy of the record.
Thanks
Gary

Thank you Angela ... We appreciate your help so very much ... slowly I am learning to translate these records myself :)) I take your detailed translations and go thru the record section by section so I can learn where everything is :))) .. I managed to translate 3 1830's birth records yesterday by following your example.
Thanks again
