It's not hard to learn how to read these records yourself. For birth records look for the words "è comparso" ("appeared"), which usually are in the 2nd or beginning of the 3rd paragraph. After that will follow the name of the person who reported the birth, which was usually the father. There will be his full name, followed by either "di" or "fu" and then the given name of his father. If it is "fu" then his father is deceased, otherwise presumably he is not (or his status is unknown). Next will be the age, which is preceded by the word "anni" ("years"). A little later in the same paragraph you see "un(a) bambino/a di sesso" ("a child of gender") followed by either "femminile" (female) or "maschile" (male). Then there's "che dichiara" ("who declares") after which you'll find the date of birth, usually given relative to the reporting date at the top of the record. The day of birth follows the words "il giorno" ("the day"). "Oggi" or "oggistesso" is today, whereas "ieri" is yesterday, and "sudetto" ("the aforementioned," now spelled suddetto) is also sometimes used. A little latter after "da" or "dalla" ("from") you see the mother's info. The phrase "di lui moglie" means "his [the declarant's] wife." The mother's data follows the same structure as the declarant's, with her father's given name (preceded by "di" or "fu") and her age. Finally the name of child is given at the end of the last sentence of that paragraph after the words "...il nome di" ("the name of"). I've omitted people's occupations or places or residence or the time of birth since you probably are not that interested in these things. The beginning of the record gives the date and time the record was made, and the details about the official who made it. The final paragraph lists the 2 witnesses.

Things get more complicated when the parents were unmarried or a parent was unknown or someone else, such as the midwife, reported the birth.

Death records have a different structure. They also begin with the date, time, and place the report was made, and the official to whom it was made. Then the 2 people who reported the death are listed. Next it says what they reported, which begins with the date, time, and place of the death, followed by the key words "è morto/a" ("died"). Then you get the deceased's name, age, profession, place of birth and residence, parent's names (with "fu" if applicable, "furano" if both parents are deceased), possibly the parents' place(s) of residence, and, if applicable, spouse's name and sometimes place of residence, as well as whether the spouse is alive or not.

Keep in mind that the record that Marty posted was for a later time period, when the records were more standardized and easier to read but actually had less information than the entirely handwritten ones from the late 1860s and 1870s. The sample he provided did not include the grandfather's names or the mother's age.

If you want you can post below what you think those records say that you just linked to and we can tell you if you're correct.
