Birth Certificate/Baptism(?) Translation

Post by mfroelich17 »

Hello!

Can someone help with the translation of this birth record on the right page? I believe one side is the birth record and the other side is a record of the baptism but I am not sure.

Thank you!

I found what I believe to be Filadelfo's mother's birth certificate (right page) and have tried to translate what I can.

Am I correct that a mother's name is not listed? Only a father - Alfio Cantarella, 34 years old living in Lentini. Based on everything that I've read/seen, it seems really odd that a mother wouldn't be listed but I am new to this so maybe I am wrong!
