Hi everyone
There are some questions I'd like to ask relating to these birth acts. (Joyce (jcsm400) will be posting the links here very soon)
On the index for Francesca's birth act, February,1861, there is a word above the mother's name, which is Pasqua, which looks like 'menica' and in the end column is the word 'naturale' any significant meaning?
On the birth acts does it give the actual place where the mother lives or is it just general e.g Sant'Elia. On Francesca's birth act just below where there is no mention of the father-it says something like "della casa S'proprra alitazione" -is this where Francesca was born?
At the bottom of Francesca's birth/baptismal record I can make out my grandfather's name - GiovanniBattista di Filippis and a two dates- one I think is 1881 and the other 1884 I thought one might be the date of their marriage? the other date ?? The same dates are on my grandfathers birth act -GiovanniBattista di Filippis 1853.
My biggest problem is understanding why there is another birth act for a brother,born 1860, with exactly the same name as my grandfather, or could I be reading it wrongly? I know this could happen if a child died the next could be given that name but my grandfather was alive in 1860!?
Or could it be there was a different mother? ( On most of the documents I can make out, after the father's name- words which I think means -legitimate husband, but I cant make out those words on the 1860 birth act. for the second Giovanni) Hoping some kind person will give me some help here.
To everyone and especially Joyce, many many thanks for all the work you are doing for me- its very much appreciated.
God Bless
Emmy
