Meaning of La Greca (luh-GREH-kuh): the Greek

 

        Birth or baptism records have not been found for my wife's great-great grandfather Vincenzo La Greca.  His birth is estimated from his age on his children's birth records, and his own civil Record of Death.
      Below is his record of marriage to Maria Piazza.  The year and date is given at the top of the page and his record is noted "Eodem die", "same day".
