Hi there

Are you able to provide a clearer pic - it goes out of focus when I try and enlarge this one. Even better would be the original link to this record. Thanks.

Angela


P.S. I think Santore was aged 41, Pariatore and it looks like Giuseppa was also in her 40s.

Much better, thank you. I always find it easier to look at the original link.

I'll type up my interpretation of the act in a minute. Not sure about his occupation. Looks like maybe Persiatore but I don't know if there is such a thing - will do a search.

She was 41 and "donna di casa".

Will come back to forum shortly.

BIRTH INDEX NO 114 PIETRA VASSALLO
Dated 24 July 1885 at 10.30 a.m.
Mother (and Declarer): Giuseppa Tranchina, 41, Donna di Casa
Father: Santore Vassallo, 41, (Pescatore – Fisherman would make most sense but someone should verify. I'm not sure)
A female child to be called Pietra born on 21 July 1885 at 3.20 p.m.

Sorry, it took a little longer. Another pair of eyes to verify would be great.

Just adding: Child was born in Resuttana - Town/Village Palermo - where parents resided.

Thought you might be interested in the following for future reference if you have not already viewed the films:

Eventhough it was written 2009 I think it probably still applies.
