Would some please be able to translate these two birth certificates into English.
Persons to be translated:
Margherita Valente
Lucia Valente
I have no idea what is recorded and would like to know - also there is information written on both names in the columns where their name is recorded - can this be translated too please?
thank you

Re: Translation of Birth Certificate
Lucia Valente:
record date: Apr 17, 1905
declarant: Maria Albanese, 50 years old, midwife
Baby born on the same day at 4am, in a home at 3, via Santa Croce
Mother: Rosa Modugno, housewife, wife of Angelantonio Valente, 53 years old, sailor, both residing in this town.
Side note: on Nov 10, 1928 (?) she married Cosmo Sciancalepore, son of deceased Vincenzo, in Molfetta
The other one is too small to read. Do you have a link to the record?

Re: Translation of Birth Certificate
Thank you for Lucia's information. Unfortunately the certificate for Margherita came to me as an image only.
I believe her date of birth may be 18/4/1900 - that is what I need to confirm.
I know her parents were Angelantonio Valene and Rosa Modugno.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Translation of Birth Certificate
For Lucia Valente...
I agree with Pippo
that the birth year is 1905, on April 17 [17/4/1905]
Also the date of marriage Pippo posted is correct.
The second margin notation when zoomed appears to be a death in Molfetta in 1991.
AND...
Here is the link to the birth act for Margherita Valente
