Translate Birth Record from Sepino?

Post by mnaccarato »

Hello, I finally found my great-grandfather's birth record! The handwriting portions are really tough to read, as well as the annotations on the left-side column. Would greatly appreciate assistance. Attaching photo and URL.

#115
Dated 31 August 1902 at the town office in Sepino

Before the official appeared Nicolamaria Sanzo', age 31, farmer residing in Sepino, to declare that at 4 AM on the 30th of the current month in the house in Via del Ginnasio(?) #4, to Carmela Lembo, his wife, residing with him, was born a male child who he presented to the official and to whom was given the name FRANCESCO.

Margin note has a marriage on 17 August 1933 to Maria Pezzente. The other margin note has nothing to do with the record. It is the official's notation that he has reviewed the records and verified them to this date.

The witnesses to the recording of the birth act: Gennaro Mucci, 59, clerk; Giovanni Gianni, 42, messenger.

Tessa - thank you so much for the translation! I have some documents from Francesco that say his birthday is August 28, 1902 and others saying August 30, 1902 so I will put this in the 'August 30" pile haha. I wonder why that is?

It is very common to find inaccuracies in the US records :-)

He date of birth is 30 August.
