Help With Birth Record

Post by EllenD »

I appreciate any help translating the attached record from Catona in 1900 for Angelina Chirico (bottom left record and continued on the right page). Are the parents here Maria Lagana and Demetrio Chirico? If so, I am wondering what the relationship is to Giavanna Bellantoni (named in the record). I thought this might be explained at the end of the record. Thank you for any help - my Chirico line has been a brick wall for a long time.

#14 - dated 16 February 1900
Before the official appeared Giovanna Bellantoni, 34, midwife
She declared that at 9 AM on the 13th of the current month in the house in Fontanelli (no number) to Maria Lagana', wife of Demetrio Chirico, both laborers of this town, was born a female child who was presented (to the official) and to whom was given the name ANGELA
Witnesses to the recording of this birth were Michele Sofi, 50, gravedigger, and Giuseppe Santagati(?), 40, laborer.
The declarant announced the birth because she assisted with the birth and because the husband of Lagana' was not able because he was absent.
The midwife signed with the official. The others were illiterate.
