Help locating birth record

[delfgill]

Hi,

I’m searching for the 1892 birth record of Antonietta Lavecchia in Marsico Nuovo. It’s noted as record #5 in part 2 of the register:

I have gone through every page of the 1892 births but wasn’t able to find it:

Is the record missing or am I overlooking it?

Thanks!

Hi,
Do you know the names of both parents and when they got married?

[delfgill]

I believe her parents were Francesco LaVecchia and Battista Taranto. I'm hoping her birth record will confirm same.

Marriage for Francesco Saverio Lavecchia to Battista Taranto in Marsico on Apr 23, 1891.

Thank you. I already have their marriage records. I'm trying to find the 1892 birth record of Antonietta Lavecchia in Marsico Nuovo, whom I believe is their daughter. Her birth is noted as record #5 in part 2 of the register but it appears to be missing or perhaps I've not seeing it.

I don't have a subscription for Ancestry, but registers are on FS, too.
Though, I can't find her in the 1892 index: what am I doing wrong?

The index on Ancestry is not a birth, but a death index.

Record #5 in supplement of 1892 is for the death of Antonietta Lavecchia, age 80, who died in 1888.

Thank you very much!

Do you know if Antonietta had any brothers or sisters?
Are you sure that she was born in Marsico Nuovo?
If you are still looking for her birth act let us know so that we can continue the search.
Ciao ciao

That's why I couldn't find her...

Pippo, it stumped me as well!

But when I compared the birth index on Ancestry with the one on FS for 1892 - they were different. It took some time, but I eventually found that it was a death index.
