Post by MariaStringer »

Would some please be able to translate these two birth certificates into English.

Persons to be translated:

I have no idea what is recorded and would like to know - also there is information written on both names in the columns where their name is recorded - can this be translated too please?

thank you

Lucia Valente:

Baby born on the same day at 4am, in a home at 3, via Santa Croce

Side note: on Nov 10, 1928 (?) she married Cosmo Sciancalepore, son of deceased Vincenzo, in Molfetta

The other one is too small to read. Do you have a link to the record?

Thank you for Lucia's information. Unfortunately the certificate for Margherita came to me as an image only.
I believe her date of birth may be 18/4/1900 - that is what I need to confirm.
I know her parents were Angelantonio Valene and Rosa Modugno.

Any help would be appreciated.

For Lucia Valente...

I agree with Pippo :D that the birth year is 1905, on April 17 [17/4/1905]

Also the date of marriage Pippo posted is correct.

The second margin notation when zoomed appears to be a death in Molfetta in 1991.

AND...
Here is the link to the birth act for Margherita Valente
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... NX?lang=en

#587
Dated 19 April 1900 - birth on 17 April 1900
Father: Angelantonio Valente, age 18, sailor, residing in Molfetta
Mother: Rosa Modugno, his wife
Child given the name Margherita

Margin notation: Marriage on 6 January 1923 (#3) in Molfetta, to Donato Rana, son of Francesco
