1870 Death Record Donatantonio Soriero

Post by KevinO »

Hello,

Can someone help translate the death record accessible from the link below:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... 1,53743001

The record is for a Donatantonio Soriero and it appears that the parents are Lorenzo Soriero and Maria Gio[v]anna Suozzi. Did this child die at birth?

Thanks in advance

Kevin

Thank you Marcello!

Would it be uncommon for a couple to give the same name of a child that died as a baby to a newborn? For example, this record is, potentially, of the same parents that had another baby in late 1871 that they named Donatantonio as well (see link below).
