Death Record of Matteo Sciortino 1782

Post by sacesta »

I need a read on the parents of Matteo on this death record. I'm not sure if this is my ancestor.

Thanks again!

I'm having some difficulties with this record. Matteo Sciortino's Records of Baptism and Marriage show his parents to be Vito (sometimes with middle name Lorenzo) Sciortino and Maria Vivona.

This record show's Matteo's father as Vito. And I can see how the mother's maiden name may be Vivona. But his mother's given name looks like Anna here and Maria on the other two documents.

Is it possible that this is the Matteo Sciortino I am looking for and that Matteo's mother has gone by more than one given name?

Parents' names on death record are never reliable when the deceased is 70yo as this Matteo is...
