Could you please translate?

[researching]

Hello,
Could someone please either tell me what this says in Italian, or translate it to English, please? It's for Mauro Colangelo and I'm really interested in parents and/or grandparents.

Thanks so much!

Mauro Vincenzo Colangelo was born on Nov 3rd, 1898, and baptized on day 13th in the church of Sant'Andrea in Patrasso. He was the son of Giacinto (son of deceased Sergio Colangelo) and Maria, (daughter of Stefano Giusto), both from Trani.
Notice of baptism was sent to Trani to be transcribed in civil registers.
I think they mean Patrasso in Greece.

Thanks, Pippo !!!

The three acts you translated have given me a little bit more information.

I'm feeling pretty stuck right now and maybe you can help me. I have two generations that were born in Patrasso, Greece, but their birth acts are sent to Trani and it says that their parents are from Trani.

I have been through the birth records for Trani from 1864 to 1880, and the marriage records for Trani for 1862 to 1900. I have found Colangelo's, but I don't think they are related, or they link up farther in the past. I have saved their info in my notes just in case. I CAN'T find information for the family that I have linked to me.

I have 7 or 8 children (cousins) all born between 1894 and 1899. I have their parents' names and what looks like their common grandfather. I can't link them as cousins, because I can't find acts of birth and/or marriage for their parents that would link the common grandfather. I know the common grandfather is related to me, so that's great, but how do I proceed from here? Where do I find this information. I don't even know if the parents of these children were born in Greece or in Italy.

It seems there were Colangelo's in Bisceglie too, with the same not so popular names, such as Giacinto and Mauro. I'd take a look at records from there.

Thanks, Pippo. I had never seen the names Giacinto and Mauro before this.

Do you think that someone from Bisceglie might say they're from Trani or use that comune? I looked on Google maps and they're really close.

Hello Pippo,

Since you suggested it, I've been going through the birth records for Bisceglie. So far, have gone through 1864 to 1878. I have come across many many Colangelo's and, like you said, some with the same names. So far I have not made any connections to my family, though.
