I found these records and would like your help with them if possible....

Page 1

In 1846 this Accardo was born. The name on the birth record is defintely not Giuseppe (Giralamo?) I know. But could this name also mean Joseph? If not what does it mean in English version?



Page 2

Same document as above just zoomed out.



Page 3

1849 Index showing a Giuseppe Accardo as record 87, looks like he is a twin, is that what the annotation says? Also, are the parents Girolamo and Rosa Zummo? What is the name of the twin?



Page 4

The birth record of my gg grandmother Giuseppa Bruno, can you tell me the important data?



Page 5

The birth entry (there was no individual record) for Vittorio Ugo, can you tell me what the birth date is? The year is 1846 according to the microfilm index. Also what do the annotations say? He seems to be an orphan? I wonder how this happens back then? Do the parents leave them behind?

and I'm sorry but the writing was far too pale on the documents for me to be able to read or understand it..

The name of the baby was cut out by the scanning, however, according to the right side of the document, which is related to the baptism, the name is Leonardo.

Son of Leonardo Bruno and Nunzia Roppulo(?), b. Nov. 2, 1850

Livio ha ragione, ma certo che è strano che il figlio abbia lo stesso nome del padre. Sarebbe meglio controllare anche la parte tagliata dalla scansione.

Livio is right, it certainly is strange that the son has the same name as his father. It wouuld be better to also check the missing part of the scan.

THANKS ALL...great teamwork! Yes the Bruno baby is named after his father, so he is likely not the first born, I did not look that hard yet for all the Bruno siblings. So do you think the baby Ugo was born and abandoned by his parents at birth?

Si, penso sia andata proprio così.

Yes, I think that's just how it went.

Gerolamo = Jerome

I notice some Italians spell it Gerolamo like you have, yet on all civil Stato records I have ever seen it is Girolamo.

Both spellings are correct.
