Translation of Record Correction- Magarella

[Jen5525]

Hi all,

Can someone help with the translation of this record for Nunzio Magarella? It appears to be a correction of a record, I assume it pertains to his birth.

Yes, his surname had been written "Mazzarella", and the Court ordered to correct it to "Magarella".
Original record was #267 of Aug 2nd, 1850

Ah thank you! that actually helps me a great deal! Interesting that they were correcting it so many years later!!!

It is POSSIBLE that the correction occurred in the process of requesting documents for a marriage. The birth act is required to be presented, and the surname error may have been found at that time.
There would have been little reason to view the birth act before that.

That makes perfect sense!
