Seeking Help With A Death Record

Post by demari18 »

Hello, This is the first death record that I am working with. I found a template to see where certain information is located in the death certificate but I still require some help. I believe the death occurred on July 9, 1833. I can see the father is Nicola Cimino and the mother is Chiara Palumbo. I believe his name is Giuseppe Antonio Cimino. Is his date of birth shown? Is his occupation shown? Is his age at the time of his death shown? Is the place of death shown? Thank you. Hopefully with your help I will be able to read other death records I find. Thank you! DeMari It is the record on the right side.

Thank you so much for the help. I figured that ragazzo meaning boy that he died young. 2 is so young. Does the death record give the cause of death? Thank you again! DeMari

It doesn't give the cause of death, and death records in Italy in the 1800s didn't normally give a cause of death. The only times I have seen reference to death causes when someone died in war and one time when one was murdered. You mentioned occupation - although the deceased was a little boy, it does show that father Nicola was a wood worker. I don't know if you noticed that it gives the birth places of Nicola (Venafro) and Chiara (Avellino).

Oh my goodness! Thank you so very much! I didn't see the places of birth for the parents. I just love finding out all these things about the family. Again thank you very much! DeMari
