Can you read this?

Post by researching »

Hi everyone,

Can any of you read this? Sergio Colangelo number 85. I can only make out a few words here and there and I think this might be important to my tree.

Thanks in advance,

You did not copy the link completely, and it does not go directly to the record you need help with.

Dated June 6, 1894 at 10 in Trani

The official of the town of Trani received from the Procurator of the King of this civil court a copy of the act of birth of Sergio Colangelo, which he was asked to translate. The translation is as follows:

Parish of S. Andrea di Badrasso (I think it should be Patrasso in Greece) January 18, 1894.

The parish priest there asserted that he baptized in this church a young male born on the 13th of January to married couple Mauro Colangelo, son of Sergio, and Vincenza Damiani, daughter of Michele, both Tranesi (from Trani). The infant was given the name Sergio.

A copy of this translated record was inserted in the allegati of this register (in Trani).

I feel like I'm getting better at being able to read the script, but the wording always changes for the ones that are written by hand and I worry that I've missed something important.

Anyway, thanks again!!!!
