Help translating a birth tecord

Post by brendariani »

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help translate my great uncle's birth record? I have recently been matched with his great grandaughter on Ancestry. She does not have any information on him or his family and I wondered if you could help. His name is Luigi Amadeo Alduino Riani born 18 Nov 1883 in Fornaci di Barga to parents Pietro Riani and Assunta Magri. I was given his birth record on another post but unable to upload it for translation.

Many thanks

Extracted information:

Presented at the town hall on 22 Nov 1883 at 9:50 am by Pietro Riani, 36, a landowner, living in Loppia*, who stated that at 4:00 pm on the 18th of the current month in a house on Via Provinciale, #75, from his wife, Assunta Magri, daughter of the deceased Luigi, was born a male child he named Luigi Amadeo Alduino.


*Either Loppia di Sopra and Loppia di Sotto, both frazioni in the town.

Thanks so much for this information. Luigi went on to marry Delia Mabel Benzio 3 Oct 1910 in Holyoke Massachusetts. Would there be any other nformation on him or his children. One of his son's was named Luigi/Louis Edward Riani 1911-1991 not sure if in Italy or Springfield Massachusetts.

Many thanks

There is a tree on Ancestry which is unsourced that shows Louis Edward's first wife as Evelyn May Powell with whom he had one child, Doris May Riani, born 1933, who married Armando Lucia (1927-2016). Doris and Armando had four children whose names are private. No info other than birth for Louis Edward's younger brother Raymond. According to this tree Luigi Riani Sr. died in Ireland, no date given. As stated, this info is unsourced.
