Spinella family from Gioiosa Marea Sicily 1860's-present??

[Dbiv21]

I am trying to find out more information from the Spinella side of my family from Gioiosa Marea. I've found a lot of documents through FamilySearch.org for those who immigrated to the United States (Ohio, PA, CA). However, i don't know much about my relatives who stayed in Sicily...are they still alive? who are their children? birth and death dates? etc. There is not much about them on Ancestry.com. The following is what I found online and the link it came from:


Nicola Spinella was born Abt. 1863 in Gioiosa Marea, Messina, Sicily
died 06 Apr 1940 in Gioiosa Marea, Messina, Sicily.
He married Nunzia DeLuca on 25 Apr 1889 in Gioiosa Marea, Messina, Sicily.

The 11 Children of Nicola Spinella and Nunzia DeLuca are:

Are there any newspaper digital archives from Gioiosa Marea? I have yet to find any.

I'm thinking one of my relatives (NICOLO SPINELLA) was never issued a birth certificate in 1863, then got one in 1889. Is anyone able to translate this document?

[carubia]

At 10 am on 5 Mar 1889, Nicolo' Spinella, age 60 and residing in Gioiosa, reported that on 24 Nov 1863, at a house in Contrada San Stefano, to his wife Tindara Calabria, spinstress who resides with him, was born a boy Nicolo'.

I'm not sure what the father Nicolo's occupation was - it looks like "bracciale," but that means "bracelet." (Or is it "bracciole"?)

The 2 witnesses to the report were Filippo Ferlazzo, age 53, and Nicolo' Villanti, age 58, both also "bracciale."

The elder Nicolo' presented a copy of a court order, dated 1 Mar 1889, from the court in Patti, which was authorized to accept such late declarations. The provided copy of the court order was added to the allegati of the comune.
