Thanks for the quick response. I didn't think the name was Dragotto. The given name of the Dragotto on this death certificate is unclear.

I haven't come across the name Maruzza before. Maybe it was a family name. Angela Princiotto -- I have another document with her name where the spelling is clearer. I have two documents that are very similar. Both are in Latin and I think are death documents. This is the older document.

This death document does not list the day the child died or am I just misreading it?

Ah, it was handwritten at the top of the document beside the year. At first I thought this was writing bleeding through from another page. Thanks, Livio.

Is Simone Martorana's age listed in this document? This may be Vincenza Martorana's father.

I'm not sure that the father's name is Simone (it seems Giovanni - Joanne - but it's the same name that the child, so it sounds odd), however his age is not listed.

My eyes fail me again :oops: I'm guessing that the document was copied from the original or earlier church record in 1846 to fulfill part of the requirements for a marriage occurring around that time. Is the copy exact or more like an extract (estratto) of the original?

This extract should be an identical copy of the original kept in the church, but an error can always occur.
