Need help with Latin marriage record

Post by Irishinamerica »

Well now I have done it! I've traced my great great great grandfather's family back far enough that the records are no longer in Italian! Frankly I think that is pretty cool!

Can someone help me out with this 1820 marriage record? I know that the couple is Giacomo Rolle and Margherita Grosso; and that it is dated July 10th 1820. But what I am specifically wanting to know is if someone can tell me the names of the couple's parents (if they are listed).

I see that there are several names listed, for example, I see the names Thoma Grosso, Dominico Grosso, and Dominico Rolle. Does it say which of these men are the parents?

Thank you so much for your help!

Pleas note that the bride's surname is Gros, not Grosso.

Thank you for all of your help you guys! Now I can take the family tree back a few generations further.

Livio, I do not know why it says 'Gros,' but on their son's 1839 birth record it says "Margherita Gross" and that also what it says on the son's marriage record.

I have no idea why the scribe put 'Gros' - maybe the name changed? or maybe the scribe was lazy?

Thank you again!
