help with translation please

Post by bkworm10 »

Hi,

Would anybody please be able to help with the translation of the processetti of Francesco Paolo Bartiluccia and Anna Caterina Canuso (m. 1869). There were 8 documents included in the processetti that I cannot identify or translate. I have not seen documents like this before in processetti. These are the first 4 images that I cannot translate. There are 4 more that go along with it. I will send the rest later.

Thanks! A.

Thanks Livio! That clears up why there were 8 pages of witnesses for the death of Vito.

When looking at the rest of the documents (that I did not post), I believe Anna Canuso was the daughter of Vito Nicola Canuso and Cherabina DiLorenzo. So does it seem reasonable that she would be supplying these documents for her father Vito, in lieu of a death certificate?

Thanks, A.

Yes.

The correct spelling is Cherubina Dilorenzo.

Cherubina was the daughter of the deceased Giuseppe...
