Re: Can anyone read this street name in Palermo?

Excellent, thanks! Would you mind telling me how you knew which parish it was from? I'm still learning how to read these documents. Thanks!

Re: Can anyone read this street name in Palermo?

Here's the record: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 54/0MxnjvM
I was able to read his father's birth record a bit more clearly and he was born on Via Candelai, which I was able to find on a current map. It doesn't look like Candelai to me, but what do you think?

Translation of Palermo birth record

Could someone please translate this Palermo birth record for me? It is for my great grandfather Antonino Manno (parents were Tommaso Manno and Rosalia Di Fonte). I assume his sister Teresa was the midwife? I'm hoping to get any details about the birth location as I'll be visiting Sicily and would ...

Re: Help with handwriting on birth record

My great great grandfather came to New York in 1909 and on the passenger record it said he was joining his brother in law Michele Schiralli at an address in Manhattan, so that would imply that Anna married Michele before 1909. I'm thinking that the first part says __ 3 Ottobre 903 no.35 da Bitetto ...

Help with handwriting on birth record

I'm having trouble reading what's written in the right hand margin on my ancestor's birth record. I believe she married Michele Schiralli (and it looks like his name is mentioned) and I see something about 1913 and Bitetto (which is where she was born) and her father's name of Giuseppe but I can't ...

Re: Finding a gravesite in Bitetto/Bari

Thanks to everyone for advice. I finally received an email from Bitetto and they said the grave is there.

Re: Finding a gravesite in Bitetto/Bari

Ah, thank you, that gives me hope. I'm hoping that the monument is in Bitetto but from the photos/google maps I've seen, I'm not sure the cemetery there has the buildings seen in the background of the photo. My mother also recalled that the grave was in Bari so I may go to the main cemetery there ...

Re: Finding a gravesite in Bitetto/Bari

Thank you, Pippo. I tried the first address but now I will try the second as I didn't find that myself.

Ann, I appreciate the information. That would certainly make Bitetto more likely. I was given some information today regarding Italian cemeteries and apparently most people, unless the families ...

Finding a gravesite in Bitetto/Bari

I have a photograph (attached) of my great-great-grandfather's grave. He was from Bitetto, Puglia though my mother's recollection was that the grave might be in Bari. I emailed the main cemetery there and they were unable to find a record for him. I've ...
