[TI] Birthdate of Salvatore Tedesco

[Larie Tedesco]

     My cousin in 1989  ordered my grandfather's baptismal certificate which showed his birthdate as December 18, 1872. All these years I  did not know if this was a mistake or not.  Today I looked in the database and his birth is December 18, 1872 which makes that baptismal certificate correct.  All records from New Orleans of birth and death is December 20, 1872 and from what I can remember, I guess he thought the 20th was his birthday  We celebrated his birthday on the 20th.  On the baptismal it shows his father as Xaverio (Saverio) Tedesco. Another problem solved thanks to this wonderful database.  I would have never known without it.
     Another situation in our family is my grandfather's brother Saverio born 1863.  His daughter Josephine is still living (she was the youngest), she is now 98 we believe.  She told me she thinks she was born in 1910 born in New Orleans.  Although I feel New Orleans has pretty good records the family must not have registered her birth.
