Can someone please translate the 3 attached sheets. Thank you! I am not sure if I am doing this right or not. Please forgive my errors.

The handwritten document is a copy (issued Nov 2 1932) of the birth record of Sebastiano Cagnazzi, born in Sanfele on Oct 18, 1873. His parents were Errico Cagnazzi, 27yo, shoemaker, son of uncertain parents, and his wife Filomena Prtezzi(sp?) daughter of late Pasquale.

The typed document is a letter, dated Oct 17 1934, from the Italian Vice Consulate in Buffalo New York, to the priest Pasquale Troncolone in Buffalo New York, asking him to deliver to the involved people the above birth record, because no one sowed up the fetch it.

Hi, I believe that Filomena(Sebastiano mother) maiden name was PIERRI... it could be right?

Maybe Enrico Cagnazzi and Filomena Fierri (#301)

Thanks Marty.
A new member, mmogno, sent me a private message with the same link pointing out that In the actual birth record the mother's surname is definitely Fierri, and the farther's name is spelled Enrico.

Thank you all for your help. It was of great help since I don't speak or write Italian.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=1483052 Does this give any insight into who Enrico was? I am confused as to how if the letter says "son of uncertain parents" how did he get the last name of Cagnazzi.

Hi,
you are right; Enrico parent's was unknowns; Miss Elisabetta Ceruzzi 28 old, on 29 sep 1846 #232 reported to city clerk a strange story abt the baby, and she said that at 3:00 A.M., a unknown person, at door of her house, given the infant at Elisabetta

pag 2 http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.i ... ewsIndex=0
it is understood that, maybe, Elisabetta was the biological mother...
