Jack....
You are correct...it is 1876 for Giuseppe and 1877 for Carmela Macchia.
Rosangela is still living at the time of the death of her son, Carlo as you noted correctly.
And 1899 is the date of the correction. I think what happened was that the birth record was checked for the marriage banns and marriage records--Giuseppe and Carmela married in Nov of 1899..and that was when the wrong name was discovered. And I think the mother of Carmena Pietrantonio was a Lazazzero and that is how the name was incorrectly listed. I will check on this.
I am forwarding copies of the documents for you to have:

There is a lot of bleed through on some of the records. I have some info on Pardo, son of Carlo. I will have to get into my files and see if I already have copies of the birth records...if not, can get them for you.
If the weather holds tomorrow, I will get back to the library...they close when the schools close so even a drop of solid moisture and they call the school day to a close!
Give your M-in-L my regards. A cousin of Giuseppe's, Pardo Sciscente, married Lucia Miozza, a first cousin of my grandmother. I grew up knowing the Sciscentos but not knowing how they were related to my family. It took a few years to discover it. They were great people. They all settled in Fall River, Ma.
Back later....
