Hi Linda

I was just looking for Vittoria’s 1818 birth record and I searched here first on the forum and I noticed that this exact topic has come up before, in April this year. I should have checked before I looked for the death record and translated it because the name Vittoria Ciccio sounded so ...

Vittoria Cicio, 72 yo, casalinga (housewife/domestic) died yesterday (26 January 1894 in a house in via Duomo, no number given. She was born and residing in S ...

These are loose translations. Literal ones often don't make sense:

No 1: “before me, Dr Nicolo’ Gatto, Mayor” (Sindaco = Mayor)

No 2: (baby was) born from Francesca Ninfa Spalla, from an unmarried union, who (ie Salvatore di Anna) has appeared here to make the present declaration

All good. You are going well. Once you get use to the script you'll be fine. I'm posting a list of Italian Occupations below which you might find helpful. I downloaded this years ago and keep adding to it, because we often come across occupations we haven't seen before. You can also also check here ...

Erudita, where are you reading that Sant’ Elena was a subsidiary “parish” of Santa Maria di Gesu. I only see Sant’ Elena being referred to as a “subsidiary ‘Church’”.

My understanding, from my own Italian Catholic upbringing is that both the Church of Sant’ Elena and also the Church of Santa Maria ...
