Makes sense. Another big reason I believe “Zarelli” comes from the father is that the father’s family felt the next to reach out to a member of the media to deny a familial relationship. If “Zarelli” came from the mother’s side, there’s absolutely no reason for a member of the father’s side to deny anything. No one would have a clue who he is. They knew “Zarelli” would lead to their dad.
Not always. It is the norm, but exceptions are made if the baby's life is in danger for example. A legitimate baptism can take place anywhere really, but the parish church would most often be notified so a certificate of baptism could be issued and a record made in the church files. A child who later wanted to be confirmed or receive first communion would need proof of their baptism, so records were seen as pretty important. It's actually still this way today.
In my experience, the only baptisms that have taken place outside of the church were those of very sick children in the hospital. Saying that, my experiences are of 21st century Scotland, not Philadelphia in the 1950s.
Right. I think I was remembering the "brown substance" in the esophagus and remembered incorrectly.
Possibly. However, children of unwed mothers (or even mixed-race children) were sometimes baptized outside of the parish where the mother resided.
Thank you for the background. My mother was a lapsed catholic and I recall her mentioning it in the past as she was an RN who worked with infants. Your refresher meshes with what she said as well. I think maybe a hidden child or one transferred outside of record keeping might be baptised but more likely to not be recorded, though I agree most church records are often more complete and accurate than birth records in genealogy.
My thoughts exactly.
I think there’s a good possibility this is the case. I don’t know if we’ll ever truly know what he knew.
My cousin was baptized at home due to her older brother having measles. No one was very sick, but just plain old contagious.
Yep…didn’t think of that.
The woman and the child were reported in the media way back in the beginning.

Hi, Since you brought it up, I’ve been trying to research the use of gentian violet in the eye. All I can find are statements that it is toxic to the eye and should be rinsed out immediately if it gets into the eyes.
“Gentian violet is an antiseptic dye used to treat fungal infections of the skin (such as ringworm, athlete's foot). It also has weak antibacterial effects and may be used on minor cuts and scrapes to prevent infection.This product has been withdrawn from the Canadian market due to safety problems.”

I am allergic to many antibiotics so when I had mastitis and my baby had thrush I was given Gentian violet. So purple! I remember reading that it shouldn't be swallowed, but at the same time I had instructions for painting the inside of my infant's mouth with it! Maybe there is a use for it in the eyes, or maybe there used to be but has since been determined to be harmful.Hi, Since you brought it up, I’ve been trying to research the use of gentian violet in the eye.

MOO, I believe her story (IDK if it was Joseph, but more likely than not if it is true IMO) I think she misunderstood what happened with the exchange of money (I think people paid others to care for their children that they did not want to care for themselves, much like the current foster system) IMO
