help needed with 1814 atto di nascita

Post by DonnaPellegrin »

I need some help with the handwritten part of a birth record from Caccuri in 1814. I found it on microfilm at the Famly History Center.

My great-great-great grandfather is presenting the child. But the woman listed is not his wife. I am trying to understand who this woman is, but I can't translate a handwritten paragraph in the document. I will try to write it out, though it is difficult to read:

"...comparso Gennaro Manfreda d'anni quarantosei di professione contradino domiciliato in Caccuri ed ha dichiaraso, che questa mattina a ore dieci, uncendo della sua Casa vita in questa comune vtrada postr piccola ha ritrovalo avanti ba porta ba fanciullo vale come ci vi presenta involto in una farcia de lino urata, a. cappote ucsshia in festa, senza aluca sopro cifor, o lettem alcuna dopo d'avendo visitato abbiamo riconosciuto ch'em d sesso feminile senza sopra alcuno sul cappo, al all atr' apprante d' un giorno abbiamo qui ad ordinato, che porre consapnath o Teresia Gigliotti per nudire dura fanciulla. "

Thank you very much for any help you might have.

Thank you so much for your help! I can't believe you were able to translate that passage from the gobblygook that I typed. Wonderful. I love you guys.

mfjp, I did not get your private message. Try again.
