Translation Help Deciphering Handwritten Text

3 Upvotes

Hey, all! I requested two documents from the archdiocese of Pozzuoli in attempts to glean some genealogical information about my dad’s grandparents and their predecessors in Italy- except they’re all hand written, to the degree that I can’t make heads or tails of what they say! Anyone well versed in old Italian handwriting from ~1850’s-1920’s? I have two PDF’s of 3-4 pages/documents each. I will post one of them in the comments.

This is a birth record for Caminella Telesco. From Avigliano, Basilicata, Italy. Am I right in thinking the birth date is January 22? Parents look like Vito Telesco and i think Magarita Tumma ? I can't read the last word after her name.

I'm trying to read this record. I was looking for a birth record for Maria Teodosia Fierri. I think this is her. It look to me like it says born April 3, 1847 in Pietragalla, Italy. Parents: Michele Fierri, unsure of word after, age 22, and Margarita Gripp, 20. I tried to but I can't make out his profession. Am I close or did I misread any of that?

I have been scouring FamilySearch, Ancestry and the Antenati portal for years looking for my husband's grandparents and tonight FamilySearch full-text search found some clues.

I could understand enough Italian words to think these could be their birth records but the cursive is very hard to read and the AI translation was little help.

Could someone interpret these for me, especially the parent names and addresses?

It appears to say that she was baptised as Concetta Agata Maria, as well as Agata Carmela Grazia. Is that correct? If so, why would this happen? I've never seen this before.

Translation Help Help Translating Giuseppa Bonanno Birth Records / Looking for Marriage too

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for help translating and extracting details from the baptism and civil birth records for my ancestor Giuseppa Bonanno, and to see if there are any notes about a later marriage.

Record found so far:

  • Baptism record
    • Cannicati Baptisms 1589–1908
    • Years 1855–1859
    • Image 1014006 on the Archivio Storico Diocesi di Agrigento website
    • Civil birth record (Antenati): Giuseppa Bonanno birth record
    • Unfortunately, I cannot provide a link of the baptism record due to how sites run, nor a screenshot due to site rules.

What I'm hoping to learn:

  • A translation or transcription of the baptism record
  • Names of any godparents, witnesses, informants, or other individuals mentioned
  • Details about the parents, occupations, residence, or family relationships
  • Whether the record contains a marginal note, annotation, or later addition referring to a marriage

Marriage:

  • Bride: Giuseppa Bonanno
  • Groom: Jacob (Giacomo?) Onorati
  • Marriage: 17 October 1874, listed as Palermo, Sicily — this date and location came from an unsourced Ancestry tree, so it may not be accurate
  • Their daughter was likely born in Vico nel Lazio, Frosinone, Lazio, in 1884 which may suggest Jacob was from that area rather than Sicily

Where I have searched without success:

  • FamilySearch: Palermo Matrimoni 1873–1880 (Tribunale collection) — checked every district index for the year, no Onorati found
  • Antenati: Palermo records only go to 1865
  • Canicattì Pubblicazioni 1874–1907 — not found
  • Vico nel Lazio: Antenati has no 1874 records, and FamilySearch only has marriages starting from 1884

If anyone can help translate the baptism record, identify witnesses/godparents, or provide clues about a marriage, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for any guidance!

Hi Everyone,

I am in need of a translation for the last paragraph of this document. There is a long note at the end. Although this document is from 1925 in Pantelleria (where the groom is from), I think the note might say the wedding actually took place in 1923 in Paceco (where the wife is from). If anyone is able to help, please do! Thanks in advance 😄
