Dear Laura,
I was trying to reply but lost the note. I know the information of Guiseppe, Luigi, Pietro, David Coffrini. I have not been able to find the sisters who didn't come to America....Angela or Angelina......Dina.....Rosa... Virginia Coffrini. I only think I know Angelina's married name, possibly Collori...(not sure on spelling) I know she lived in Cembrano before she died. Possibly was born where David Coffrini, who was the youngest boy was born. Varesi, Liguri...I have tried but so far no luck...... Question..how do you delete the old postings? I have tried but also no luck there either. I know that Dina lived in Camoggi until she died....I don't know if Angelo, was her married name or if that is the name of her Son. I know that she gave birth to twins, I know that because I too had twins.....Thank you again.

Egregio Direttore
Sono alla ricerca della mia storia famigliare, gradirei, se le fosse possibile, richiedere il suo aiuto. Per favore, mi potrebbe spedire i Certicati di Nascita di Angelina Coffrini, nato il 1891-1897 e Rosa Coffrini, nata il 1891-1898. Se questi certificati includono anche i nomi dei loro genitori, se per cortesia, potrebbe inviarmi anche i loro. Includo, in questa mia, l'equivalente approssimativo di Euro 25, in modo che lei possa coprire sia le spese di certificazione sia le spese postali di risposta. Egregio Direttore , la ringrazio infinitamente del suo aiuto. Nel caso che i dati non siano disponibili la pregherei di inviarmi comunque una nota negativa. Inoltre, se i documenti non ci sono per quel periodo, o se Lei conosce altre fonti, Le sarei grata se potesse suggerirmi come proseguire la mia ricerca.
Le invio i miei piu' sinceri e cordiali saluti

Ancestry.com has on line the civil registrations for the Comune of Varese Ligure and Maissana ... I found there the acts I posted for you but I found no traces for Coffrini's female child, I must tell that for some years the indexes are not present so for a better search we must check page by page...
The civil registrations on Ancestry.com for both the towns begins from 1866 until 1910 more or less...
I believe that the daughters were born in Borgo Taro and maybe they married in Varese Ligure or Maissana after 1910...
Keep in mind that the first birt act I found in Varese Ligure was of the year 1897 and the last one was for the year 1904 and Maria Giacopazzi was 44 years old...

okay I will try that, for some reason I thought they were younger than Pietro paolo Coffrini April 15, 1897,mother was 36 and one older than David Giacomo Coffrini. Nov. 5 1904 mother 44. But I thought Angelina was the youngest child....wow.....I'll try. I've got Borgo Va Di Taro, Parma is the province and Emilia Romagna is the region. Is the commune Varese Liquri?

Dear Laura,
Thank you so very much. I hope I am doing the replies correctly, I will always reply after receiving a note from you. The information was wonderful.
I did know the birth dates of the ones that came to America, but all the other information I didn't know. It will be so helpful when I put the Heritage Journal for my children and their children together. It was so interesting that you found it under the name caffrine and not coffrini, that must be why I haven' t been able to find the family in Italy. Gracious me, I can't thank you enough. Words can not express my gratefulness. Take care
