Hi Gina,

Here is a great site for examples of translations. Essentially a fill in the blank.

http://www.comunesofitaly.org/Links/RuthNerud.htm

What is the name of the comune?

I am working on the translation and will post it later tonight or in the morning.

[gvitale]

The comune is Alvignano. I used internet resources to translate what I could but I am having trouble with several parts of the document. Especially all of the writing at the end.

Here is what I have so far:

----
I could not read some of the last names either. I find some of the annual indexes are much more readable than others. Also some years (especially deaths) have significantly more entries. I copy some of these indexes to use as reference for matching surnames. As long as I can make out a few of the letters, I can usually match to a name.

Thank you so very much for all of the help! I really appreciate it. I am a bit curious about the spelling of the last name seeing we always used a "o" not an "a" always find something interesting.

Thanks again!

Dear Gina,

Double check other documents with the same name as well as Indexes and see how they spell the name.

Sometimes the name changes over the years to distinguished one clan from another.

Sometimes the name changed when it came to the USA.

Sometimes the person writing the document just wanted to fancy with his writing and loops his letters or they're so sloppy that you can't make it out.

Plus remember, I was going by a copy from the internet and not the actual document so it could be an "o" and not an "a".

I hope this clears up things.
