Some how, the pages are out of sinc. Paola has correctly translated Record No 98 for you which begins on Page 2 and ends on Page 1 and that is why she has said that "Pages 1 and 2 contain the birth record of Giuseppe Spina....". She is correct.Mari Mabus wrote:I am confused regarding the translation of page #1

Pages 1 and 2 contain the birth record of Giuseppe Spina, son of Nicolò Spina and his wife Agnese Piccione, born in Poggioreale August 13 1887, in the (family) house in via Iura (?) The birth was declared August 14 by the midwife Witnesses Giuseppe Spina 54 (the grandfather?) and Pietro Scardino 65, both "civili" = well-to-do

Birth No 99: Pietro Scardino
Recorded 15 August 1887, Poggioreale
Rosa Caronna, 64, levatrice (midwife), living Poggioreale, reported that at 9.20 pm on 14 of the current month at a house in via Comune?, was born to Apollonia Longo and Rosario Scardino, a son who was given the name Pietro Scardino.
Witnesses: Giuseppe Spina, 54 and Pietro Scardino, 65, both Civile.
The Birth Record for Pietro Scardino (No 99) which appears on page 1 probably doesn't apply to you at all. Sorry for the confusion and great that you queried this.
