Vincenza Grieco Death Certificate

Post by jvitiello88 »

I'm trying to verify that this is the person in my tree. Vincenza Grieco is married to Giuseppantonio Giuseffi. I don't know her parents. Would they list her with her maiden name in the death record? I was searching for Giuseffi this whole time, but I found her under Grieco... I'm pretty sure I see her husband's name.

Also, can you tell me how old she is and the mothers name? Looks like the father is Donato.

Yes, Italian women retain their maiden names throughout life. I was searching for Giuseffi this whole time, but I found her under Grieco... I'm pretty sure I see her husband's name.

Also, can you tell me how old she is and the mothers name? Looks like the father is Donato.

Yes, her father was deceased Donato, contadino (peasant farmer), who lived in Bella when alive, and her mother the deceased Angiola Maria Masiello, contadina (peasant farmer) who also lived in Bella when alive.

The birth was registered/recorded on 15 February, 1896, 10.50 am, but half way down it says that she died ieri (yesterday) 7 pm so died 14 February 1896, at Via Campidoglio?, No 7.

Yes, and her occupation was "donna di casa" (housewife). She was born and residing in Bella.

Her husband had died already. It says “vedova di ...” widow of ...

Thanks guys! How about the mother's name of Pasqualina Pignataro?

For her, I have died on 29 APR 1900 in Bella. Father: Francesco Pignataro, Mother: Maria something?, Husband: Felice Vitiello -- not sure why Felice Vitiello is written at the top, too. It says age 29 next to that Felice Vitiello, so I don't think he's related?

Thanks!

Happy to help :D (BTW: "I am no guy") :? :)


For her, I have died on 29 APR 1900 in Bella. Yes. The death was both registered on 29 April 1900 and it says that she died oggi (today), aged 81.

Father: the late Francesco Pignataro,

Mother: the late Maria Damiani, Widow of the late Felice Vitiello -- not sure why Felice Vitiello is written at the top, too. It says age 29 next to that Felice Vitiello, so I don't think he's related? (This Felice Vitiello reported the death as did Michelangelo Panaro.)

Thanks!
Going good.
Angela :D
