Where are they from?

Post by RobininStl »

Can anyone make out where the parents of the child, Rosalia Geronima Lo Biundo, are from? Her birth record is no. 189 on page 154 (2nd entry on the righthand side). After the parents' name it looks like there is a reference to "cifu". If this is not a city, what does it mean?

The record is from Monreale, Sicily. Thank you!

Hi!
Parents are Antonino and Elisabetta Lo Biundo from M(onterea)le.
What you read next is "ci fu posto n(ome)" = "she was given name"
Giuseppe "Pippo" Moccaldi

Thanks. That makes sense. the "ci fu" looked like one word but I see it now. I was hoping they might be from elsewhere, as I can't locate their marriage record, or their son who is my ancestor.
Thank you!
