Can anyone please tell me the surname of the mother on Pietro Rocco Laraja's birth record? Is it Rosa Brienza? Brierya? - I cannot figure it out. Also, where would this surname originate in Italy? It's not in the town of Accettura as I have not seen it before.

I agree with Marty that the surname looks like Brienza
Use this site to see where the name exists in Italy today...
Enter "Brienza" at cognome

Re: name of mother on birth record?
Thank you Marty and Tessa! I did that and that surname, while not in the commune of Accettura, is definitely in a lot of communes in the Basilicata region.
Thanks again! Annette

Re: name of mother on birth record?
I have a question about the surname of the child that you have listed as "Pietro Rocco Laraja". I thought that the letters: J, K, W,X and Y did not exist in old Italian records.
Thanks for any input.

Re: name of mother on birth record?
what looks like a j is actually an elongated i often used to differentiate between different stems of the same family surname.
