In the above death record (click on image and then view "full resolution"), the deceased is referred to as "Ferrera Andrea fu Gio: Batta" (Andrew Ferrera [son of the late] Gio Batta." Immediately following his name there is added the phrase (highlighted in the image) "Caduto da un albero di Castagno" (in English: "fell from the Chestnut tree"). This means that, as shown from the tables below, he was born either between May 15 and May 24 or between November 12 and November 21. Note that each figurative tree accounts for two spans of dates (in opposite seasons of the year), except in the case of the Oak and Olive trees, which each are used to refer to one specific date. This information sometimes is helpful in identifying a perons' correct birth record. | In the above death record (click on image and then view "full resolution"), the deceased is referred to as "Ferrera Andrea fu Gio: Batta" (Andrew Ferrera [son of the late] Gio Batta."
