Thanks for your reply. I will keep that in mind as I move forward. I still have some digging to do and may be able to find something like that yet.

Good afternoon, I recently found out that I may be eligible for Italian citizenship, but my case has a few twists that I would like to get some further information on before I start pushing heavily on this process.

I wrote to the Stato di Archivi in Treviso in an effort to find the conscription records of two of my ancestors. I recieved a response, in the form of two documents, though unfortunately not the records I was looking for. I was hoping someone could translate these - I know they're long, so I really ...

I did send it back with a ...

Thanks for the site.

Thanks so much.
