Translation Assistance - Giacomo Filippone

Post by RichieFlip73 »

This my first time posting a request in this forum so if I need to include more info please let me know....

This is the birth certificate of my uncle Giacomo Filippone. It is entry number 142 on the ledger. I was able to find this via Family Search but I can't figure out more than the last name a few other things. Any details you can help with is great appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

No, no house number is listed. Also, based on the additional document you wanted translated, the midwife's name is Pia Glorioso. Clearer on that other document.
