Hi Luca

I understand that the whole document relates to my ancestors. So if possible would like to try and translate the whole page.
The copy that they sent isn't any better unfortunately. You can increase the image slightly using the symbol that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Would that help?

Apologies if this is causing anyone as much grief and frustration as me!

The document contains 6 different baptism records, 6 babies who are not related each other... It is hard to decipher so if you provide the names that you are seeking you will help us to help you.

Hi Livio

I'm looking for Ivan (Could be written also as Ioannes or John) Kmet. I assume he was born in the 1700s.

I am not sure whether there are any other Kmets or Chmets written in the document. Their local nickname was Fatoric.

I do know that Ivan had a son - Mathias (or written as matteo/matthew/matej) who was born in January 1, 1836. I don't know whether Ivan had any other children.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Nr 4

Adì 25 7bre (=Settembre) 1802
Zuanne figlio legittimo e naturale di Mattio Chmet(?) quondam Zuanne, e di Pasqua figlia di Zuanne Sir...(?) sua legittima consorte nato ieri sera ad un ora di notte fu battezzato da me Don Giovanni Tomas(?), pievano. Padrini furono Mattia Zugan quondam Zuanne e Caterina vedova del quondam Antonio ...(?) detto Radich. L'ostetrica Euffemia moglie di Antonio Mazzei(?)

Sorry, but i'm not accustomed with surnames of the north-est of Italy: probably i was wrong with 1 or 2 of them. Zuanne is a local form for the italian name Giovanni (latin Joannes)
