Good evening! I'm new to the forum, but have been researching my Italian line for several years.
One of my direct ancestors was an orphan at the (apparently well known)Annunziata orphanage in Naples.
I was able to identify the Processati paperwork associated with her wedding and to my surprise, found an Birth Act for her. The document has been filled out, but as you'll see, not in the standard manner. I'm very curious to see what information it might contain, so if you're up for the challenge of deciphering handwriting and translating the Italian, take a look (and many thanks in advance!)
