Need help in translating letter.

Post by dmurphy1940 »

I received a letter from Archivio di Stato. I can email the pdf file, as I tried to upload it here and it said it was invalid.

Grazie.

a way you can upload a file is to do use an image hosting prgoram. i use
postimage.com

click on family safe. the hit "browse" to file the file on your computer. double click on the file. then hit upload.

scroll down the page then copy the URL from either "link" or "direct Link"

paste that URL in the body of your message on this forum. it will show up as an active link in your message.

good luck,
donna

I've tried that before Donna and it did not work. That is why I suggested that I email the pdf. Thanks.

I have again tried to upload the letter here for a proper translation and it still tells me that the file is invalid? I must be doing something wrong but not sure what.

I just attached the file to Italian Geneaology on Facebook, and there was no problem attaching it and I am hopeful to get it translated.

Looking for a translation of this marriage record, Numero 22 Montecalvo/Ciampi. I pretty much gather what it says but I would like a complete translation so I can be sure that I have not missed anything. Grazie.
