The birth records from Italy arrived in the mail several weeks ago and probably leave more questions than answers, but I was excited to receive them.
Birth Record for Gregorio Vincenzo Mannina, born August 14, 1892. [Film #2015713 Entry #159] (this date is closer to the December 19, 1894 date that is listed on my great-grandfather's world war II draft registration card). 2 possibilities come to mind, either this record is not my great-grandfather or he deliberately gave a different birth date.
The birth was reported on August 18, 1892, to Gaspare Cavalia, an official of Sambuca by Giuseppe Mannina.
Giuseppe Mannina, age 38 living at V. Oddo #10, a shoe maker, reports that on August 14, 1892 his wife Calogera Mandina, gave birth to a male child, who will go by the name Gregorio Vincenzo. (none of the documents that I have seen for my great grandfather include the middle name Vincenzo, however he named one of his sons James Vincent, so this leads me to think that it could be him.
The birth was witnessed by Giuseppe Vaccaro age 46, and Felice Ferrara age 35.

Birth record for Giuseppe Mannina born July 20, 1865. [ Film #2015655 Entry #195] (No one in the family that I have spoken to knew the name of Gregorio's father. However, Gregorio named his youngest son Joseph, the English equivalent of Giuseppe, so this makes me lean toward thinking I have the right records)
The birth was reported on July 21, 1865, to Giuseppe Mangiaracina, an official of Sambuca by Paolo Mannina.
Paolo Mannina, age 45, a shoemaker, reports that on July 20, 1865 his wife Antonina Bivona, age 30, gave birth to a male child, who will go by the name of Giuseppe.
The birth was witnessed by Calogero Armato, age 57, a farmer who lives in Sambuca and Giuseppe Armato age 37, a farmer.
