Death certificate translation

Post by rjrdomer »

Hello all. I have 4 death certificates from Santa Margherita di Belice from the 1880s-1900s that I need help translating. I can decipher most of it but I am having some uncertainties about dates, ages, and other names on the certificates.
I have the 4 files saved from the LDS Family Center as PDF files and I do not know how to upload them to this server. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to load them here, or email them to someone on the side.

Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Rob :D

When you say you have tried to upload them, do you mean using an image-sharing site?

You can use a site like postimage.org for free... give it a try.

Ok I finally got the image sharing site to cooperate with my computer. I had to use a Mac....

Can anyone help me translate these? These may be my relatives, not quite sure. It depends on the dates/ages/family members listed on the certificates. Also if they discuss a cause of death, that would be very interesting to me as well.

They are from the town, Santa Margherita di Belice in Sicily. They are for, Antonina Lamanna, Giovanni Cusenza (2 persons) and Biagio Perricone.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks so much for your help! Unfortunately none of these ages match up to a relative of mine. I'm awaiting more films from the LDS family history library, so hopefully they will lead to something else. Thank you again, you are a bunch of great people.
