Please translate this from Latin

Hello all,

I haven't been on this forum for a long time! Anyways, Can anyone translate or at least transcribe this following document written in Latin? It's from 1542 from Molfetta, Italy.

Re: Please help

I have some familiarity with Molfetta and the only common last names (from Molfetta) that resemble "Mozzuto" would be: Mazzocca, Mazzola, Mezzena or Mezzina... And most Molfettesi immigrants settled in North Jersey after WWII not in Ohio, although of course there is always the possibility....

Re: Ettore Pirozzi

thanks for finding this for me...

I have a naturalization record for an Ettore Pirozzi that states he lived in the U.S. uninterrupted for 11 years from 1879 to 1900 (obviously those dates are erroneously listed since it tallies up to more than 11 years)

i wonder if your 1884 Ettore is the same one..

Re: Looking for any Information On my Paternal Great-grandpa

Hi Sue, According to the previous posts, your grandfather Frank was born in 1885 and i'm almost positive we have that film on permanent loan in Emerson... On Francesco Visaggio's birth record, you will find information about his parents,... their age, occupation, where they lived etc.. thanks, Mauro

You may not need to hire anyone...

Are you looking for naturalization papers?

Re: How do you feel about the show "Jersey Shore"?

I have the thick NJ Jersey accent (that's what people tell me) and when iv'e been to other parts of the country, i often get "sopranos" comments thrown at me. So i do believe that italian stereotypes hinder italian americans that try to advance in politics, the business world, etc... At 23...

Re: How do you feel about the show "Jersey Shore"?

I'm from Jersey and i found it a very stupid show. James is right, these people do exist, almost exactly like they are in the show but that doesn't mean we should showcase or applaud their behavior. I believe that the show celebrates the lowest common denominator for all Italian-Americans. Very simi...

Re: Molfetta Roots

Hi Damian, Most of my family stems from Molfetta and i've been able to trace some of my family lines into the 1700s. I've done most of my research by using the microfilm from the LDS family history library. I have several films from Molfetta on permanent loan, so I can look something up for if you a...

Re: Am I crazy - Idea about transcribing a town's recor

Would the FHC you're working at allow you to copy or transcribe an entire set of records? What is the proper protocol for this type of project?
