Raffaele Scialla birth

[oilman19]

I have the parents as Antonio Scialla and Lucia Ianniello. Can you tell me the birth day. I hope I didn't chop off too much of this document.
Thank you,

Jim

I must have been tired when I scanned this document.
I have Antonio's birth act and he is always off by a few years. Unless, as happened with my grandmother, there were 2 Antonio's and I haven't found the nascita or morti yet. Now that I think of it, there was no annotation on his birth act for his marriage. Always a new mystery.

Thank you,

Jim

Hi Jim,

Not all birth acts have the notation for marriage, at least in my search experiences.

Oh, I know, but S.M. has been pretty good about doing it. I also know it doesn't mean I have the wrong Antonio, but on the few documents where he has given his age, he has always been younger by about 3 years. And, this includes his atti di matrimonio, which should be reasonably accurate, since he had to provide a transcript of his birth.
Eventually, I will find confirming evidence one way or the other. I'm just so pleased to be able to at least connect him to my tree along with his family that I have been storing, waiting for a link. This has been a very productive week. I have been able to fill in many blanks as a result of a few key records I've found and the excellent translation services I have been provided.
You have my gratitude.

Jim
