In going through some death indexes yesterday, I located a person I was looking for but in the next column was the word listed below:

Why would the word "rettifica" be put in a column next to a name but without any reference to parents, etc. Not even sure if the number listed before the name is the actual registry no.

Rettifica = correction, adjustment, amendment
To answer to your question I need to see the document...

Thanks, I will back up and find it. Will go to imageshack after I find it again. It's in my notes.

Finally found my notes and copy of what I found in the death index.

Later in the index I found this:

Just a little confused. How do I know they are the same Giovanna? I do have 2 belong to different brothers and Natale is not one of them, he is from a different family.

This is an index and to me it means that the record nr 10 of Part II series C for the year 1927 contains a modification (correction) about Giovanna Rescigno. You should check that record.

Again, you need to check the actual record.

Thanks Livio, will check it out.
