Unknown Birth Record Translation Help

Post by Amansolillo »

This is a 1890 birth record from Letino, Caserta, Campania. The record that I wished to be checked is the bottom one on the left (it continues to the right page). It lists my great-great-grandparents Michele Pesaturo and Cecilia Fragola as this Pesaturo's parents, but my great-grandmother was only known as having two brothers and a sister. I'd appreciate a translation of this record. Thanks

To me the name is Zaira Emilia Pesaturo

It could be that Zaira Emilia died very young...

Perhaps so. My great-great-grandparents and their children immigrated to Newark, New Jersey in May of 1896 before moving to Providence, Rhode Island in October later that year. If Zaira didn't die you in Italy, then she probably did in America
