Birth Record Translation from 1888

Post by dpv »

In the early 1800s, Italian records had a lot of useful information for research purposes. Now I am towards the end of the 1800s...not as much information (as far as I can tell).

I am looking at a birth certificate from 1888. It is #53.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cat=719672

I know the father is Pietro Visco (23) and the mother is Domenica D'Auria. The child is Pasquale.

Is the date of birth 26 DEC 1888?

Also, can I tell anything else from this birth certificate? Age of mother? Parents of Pietro or Domenica?

Thanks in advance!

The birth was recorded on December 26, 1888 but actually occurred 11:50am on December 24, 1888. office closed for Christmas?

No age of mother or names of grandparents.

Both parents are described as contadino/a (peasant farmers).

Their house address could be 60 Centrale Via (60 Central Road).

The rest looks standard.
