I have Angela Rosa de(di) Lucia's birth act. As usual, I continue to struggle with the marriage annotation.

Can someone please translate it for me?

Thank you

The date is Dec 20, 1877 marriage to Donato Vendemia of Portico (di Caserta)-

That should be an X for Dec before the letters bre

I added the di Caserta because that is the full name of the town, even though it is not given in the notation

if you are searching for the marriage record on the 1877 marriage microfilm, the record number should be 152

Hi Peg

I may have that film. I'll have to wait until I get home to check my list.
Is it normal for them to provide the index number in the mariage annotation? I had never noticed it, or better still, known what I was looking at.

Thank you so much.

Usually there is a number for the "atto" after the date in the notation. Maybe it hasn't always been easy to read, but the 152 should be the number for this record. If you find that I am incorrect, let me know.

It's just a capital N before the actual number

I eventually get through most of my documents with success. Far too often it is the marriage annotation that stumps me. The hand writing is frequently not legible enough for me to read it and the info is not consistently in the same order on each annotation. I get some of them but, as you know, I still get stumped.
You are very helpful.
Thank you

Always happy to help, Jim. I am amazed that so many of your birth records do have marriage notations, as I have many that do not.

I keep hearing similar stories from fellow researchers. A person at my FHC claims he only sees marriage annotations in his town(s) when there is a second marriage. I have found my documents to be quite consistent when there is a matrimoni. I can't recall a document that failed to have it if the person did get married (except for my grandmother whose annotation was on her older sister's birth act).
It sounds like I am fortunate to have that consistency. I assumed every one had it.

I have found many marriage notations on my family records. When I don't I begin to question if they had died before reaching marriagable age and do a search that way.

Usually I find that to be true but sometimes not. The really early (before 1850) are a hit and miss on marriage notations.

Peg, you were correct.

I found the marriage record but it isn't a great image. If anyone can extract any info about Donato, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

All parties signed the document.
