Full translation of my (abandoned) great grandfathers birth record please

Post by lyn1982 »

After a decade at a brick wall unable to find my great grandfathers manifest, darkerhorse managed to find it.

It showed his name was actually Giuseppe Eppes. I guess my great grandfather changed it to Ebbo and later Abbo either by accident or whatnot. The info on the manifest, arrival in Lyons, NY June 1913, and birth in Alatri, leaving behind father Domenico all match for being my ggf. Only surname is a bit off.

Having the proper surname I was able to look in Frosinone military records. And find him listed. It stated he was born in Rome. My ggf always said Alatri for his birth but the military record says Rome (and whoever wrote his obit also stated he was born in Rome).

The fact manifest mentions a cousin and father is odd since military records say his parents were unknown, but the Domenico and Maria Pavia/Paria that my ggf mentions as his parents in all his documents actually appear to be the parents of the cousin he is going to on the manifest. I found records, cousins parents are Domenico Mastracci and Maria Pavia. Domenico died before 1892 according to another sons death cert so he cannot have sired my ggf.

I found my ggf's birth record here bottom left: http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... ewsIndex=0 Giuseppe Eppes

I would like a full translation if possible. As he seems to have been abandoned at birth I will need as much info as possible.

I was working on this and it seemed familiar, then I realized it was the same one you posted in another thread. I'm assuming that you got all you needed in the duplicate post here.

Thanks for interest.

Yeah I did, sorry about that. I wanted to delete the other post since it seemed better to post in this forum, but it wouldn't let me.
