Re: Postcard photo translations

You might also search for an historian in a library or university. I once found an historian online at a university library who had expertise in clothing styles and cultural practices by time period. She also happened to be an Italian-American. She helped me successfully date some photos. Thank you...

Re: Postcard photo translations

In the context of these lovely photos (real gifts!) I would say the best translation for the word “ricordo” would be “a momento” or “a keepsake”. “A reminder” maybe less so, although that’s what they are. I have a lot of photos from Italia sent from family to my parents beginning with the word “Ric...

Dating photo postcard

Can anyone give me an approximate date/time period for this photo taken in Italy (likely Alberobello or Locorotondo), based on clothing styles? Or the postcard style?

Translating birthday cards

Is someone able to please translate these 2 cards for me? In case this is useful for context, I believe they were written by one of my great grandparents (Cosmo or Angelina) to their daughter Betty.
