Hi Sandy

I've made a start here but I've lost my connection to the antenati site so will take another look later or someone else can check it over.

Hello,

Can I get a translation and some guidance on this type of marriage record? What is on the second and third pages?

Index has mother's surname as Saraniti (Maybe a double name Saraniti Cossaro?) http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.i ... ewsIndex=0

I thought that the correct spelling may be Gallino?

This is a pre-unification document which translates to "Act of Solemn Promise" ie a promise to marry. Basically the couple went to the town hall and declared their intention to marry. Prior to this, marriage banns would have been posted on the door of the town hall, to allow for anyone who knew any reason why the couple should not marry to come forth. You'll find the marriage date in the column on the right side.

There is some interesting discussion on the following thread you may like to look at: https://www.italiangenealogy.com/forum/ ... sa#p229137
