Father's Name

[darkerhorse]

This is the 1844 birth record of Sebastiano Gervasi.

His father is listed as Salvatore but I was expecting Paolo.

Is there anything to suggest a correction on this or following page?

This is his 1891 death record where the father is listed as Paolo.

The birth record is #8, and the death record is #27.

I do not see a correction made to either document. Mother on both is Antonina Calafiore.

Here is the publication of banns. #33.
There are a number of documents inserted here.

You might try searchng for his marriage act.

Thanks. I did try to find his marriage record because father's name would have been self-reported, but no luck.

I did find a 1872 record for his daughter's birth where he appeared and his father's name is listed as Paolo.

Bottom of page 7-8.

Looks like his birth record is an error or his father had two names like Salvatore Paolo or Paolo Salvatore.

What year is the marriage banns? The link doesn't work for me.

What year is the marriage banns? The link doesn't work for me.

They are from 1871. The link didn't load the first time for me, but I refreshed the page & it came right up...

[darkerhorse]

Not for me but thanks.

I don't see where 1871 in Melilli is relevant. The family lived in Priolo until at least 1872 and perhaps much later.

Here is the link to the publication request again...#33

Extra documents are inserted. Similar to what you would find in allegati.

Thanks. It worked. That's a lot of documents, like allegati. I'll have to figure out a way to download them and try to read them. From what I can readily see the father of Sebastiano Gervasi is listed as Salvatore, not Paolo.

So, I'm puzzled as to why his father is recorded as Paolo on other records.

Thanks for all the information on Salvatore Gervasi.

Does it resolve these original questions about Sebastiano Gervasi?

[darkerhorse]

The birth record is #8, and the death record is #27.

Sebastiano (b.1844) and Salvatore (b.1849) might have been brothers?

Who was Sebastiano's father - Salvatore or Paolo?

[darkerhorse]

The following ages make pretty good sense for Antonia Calafiore but not for her husband Paolo Gervasi.

Paolo was born in 1824 which is accurately reflected in his marriage and death records. By contrast, for the birth of their three children his implied year of birth is c.1807-1809.

It appears to be the same Antonia but is it the same Paolo?

Any ideas on what's going on here?.
