Trying to determine 3rd name

Post by kevinkuta »

I've been able to translate much of this birth record, however there are a few things that I am unable to determine.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cat=721177

What I cannot determine is in red. I can also not tell what the first letter is in the third name that was given to child.

The year one thousand nine hundred and eight on the sixth of May, at nine o'clock and thirty minutes, in the Town Hall in Carraia.... ... Angelo of Marco Mori, of unknown years, a farmer resident in Massa Machiania, appeared told me that at six o'clock and no minutes of the fourth day of the current month, in the house located in Massa Maciania at number 176, from Maria Menconi, housewife, unknown, of Pietro Mori, unknown, unknown in Massa Maciania and a child was born of male sex he presents to me, and to which he gives the names of Giovanni Francesco Zuilio......

Thanks for any help you can give

Angelo Mori was a 26 yo – the town is Massa Macinaia.
Maria Menconi's age is not given. After massaia it says "moglie del Pietro" i.e. Wife of Pietro.
Pietro Mori's age and occupation not given. After his name it says "both cohabiting and resident in Massa Macinaia"

Here's a link to the most common Italian male names which you will find helpful: https://script.byu.edu/Documents/Nomi-Maschili.pdf

Female names here: https://script.byu.edu/Documents/Nomi-Femminili.pdf

It looks like Zuilio to me as well but maybe the clerk misheard and it was meant to be Duilio or even Zilio. I don't think Zuilio would sound very good????

It says at the bottom that the declarant (Angelo Mori) announced the above birth in place of the husband because he was absent.
