Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!
I am so excited bc I just found this death extract and it gives the names of a set of my 8x great grandparents- this will be the earliest set of ancestors yet!!! I have it translated but am not sure of the surname of the mother. Once again, I need your expertise eyes
Thank you thank you!

About Carmina Spallone-
I have gone through all of the indices to 1833, and even record by record for the year 1823 since the index only goes to the letter R.
In 1823, there is a Donata Carmina Spallone, image #103, but she died at 3 days.
In 1827, there is a Maria Carmina Spallone, but she died at age 11 months. (image 76).
So either your Carmina Spallone died in another town, or she died earlier than the available records and the delli fu, despite the fact that the word fu instead of furono appears in the record, was meant to indicate that both were deceased.
Also, I'm sure you already know this, but the two declarants in the record were sons of the deceased.
Oh my Erudita! Thank you so much! That took yiu a lot of time I know. You are very sweet to look for me. I appreciate it so much. I will assume that the record is incorrect and that she died earlier.
