profession = fornara?

For my great grandmother...family lore says she was a shop/store keeper.

Thanks for any insight!

The spelling "fornaio" would be baker.

Fornara is the feminine of fornaio.
Please note that on the records you posted, the dates you wrote in red are the registration dates. Antonio Maria was born May 13 1891 and died March 3 1894

Thanks Tessa!

Livio....please explain. I'm trying so hard to interpret the records without bothering y'all on every single item. Is there some place on these documents that gives the actual date of birth/death or is it just understood that it is always one day before registration?

Just when I thought I had the dance rhythm down........I find I'm still thrashing about :lol:
