No Livio. I am the one that made the confusion. I thought Luca said that Agostino was not a Sapienza but he wasn't sure because the quality of the document posted was so poor. So I tried to clean it up and reposted it for him to take a look.

So please don't think you made confusion..........if anyone made confusion it was me

Ok Carole..........now I need a hug!!

You aren't in confusion ! I said that. I think Agostino was not a Sapienza (98%), but to be sure (at 100%) I shall have a better image. So don't worry.
I made confusion too:

Quote::

I was wrong. Luigi there isn't. I confused Luigi (Aloysius in Latin) whit Alfio (Alphius in Latin). Sorry Giovanni (Jonny) and Joannes (in Latin) is the same. Luca

The important is that, now, Rita has more information than 15 days ago!



Ciao
Luca

OK - so now everyone's running round saying 'Mea culpa, Mea culpa - Mea massima culpa!'....but at the end of the day you are all doing a GREAT job sorting all this out - so here's a huge hug for you all



I leave the WHAPS to 'other' people... (that way I get to be Mrs. Nice Guy)

Thanks for the dancing bananas Luca! They look cute.

Luca and Livio.........Three more in Latin

Thank you Livio

I found Eugenio Sapienza! Momma mia! My cousin just told me that I still need to find Angelo,Dominick, and Grazia. . I just don't know of when they were born but he feels they should be on this same film. I don't know how they did it back then but I feel I was just in a whirl wind! ~Rita

Quote::

Maria Guardia (if so very, very strange name) Baptized 1885 Sept 24, born Sept 22 daughter of Lucia Distefano and Giuseppe (Joseph in Latin) Sapienza. Godmother Caterina Nicolaso

Luca and Livio

Is it possible that Maria Guardia could be Maria Grazia? This might account for the "Grazia" - daughter of Giuseppe (Joseph)?

Livio and Luca - Another baptismal record

Baptism of ? Euginio Sapienza
Born – 18??
Father – Giuseppe (Joseph)
Mother – Lucia Borcetto ?
God parent – Gratia Sapienza

Below Euginio’s and Joseph’s names (on the left) is a female name I believe it says Lucia Borsatto (mothers name)?

Once again, we need a larger picture... please don't crop it before posting.

"...Lucia xxxxx ?"

Looks a bit like Borsitto - there seems to be a 'dot' over the letter before the double 't'...

For Rita. Now that you have almost all the baptismal documents with exact dates, why don't you ask for the civil documents? Perhaps we'll be able to know the true surname of Lucia!
