Translation of "stato elle anime"

[brianpatrickross]

I was able to recover a document called "Stato elle anime" that has a wealth of genealogical information about my family. There are also some notes at the top of the page that I was hoping to get some help translating. See link below:

Thank you in advance!

"Questa famiglia è detta dei Foladori per l'ordigno che hanno in casa. E' antichissima di Malonno, e sempre in discreto stato di sostanze, ma sempre di Malonno. Vedi cugini e zio civ. 209"
"This family is said 'Foladori' because of the machinery they have at home. It's very ancient in Malonno, and always well-off, but always in Malonno. See also cousins and uncle at #209"

It's harder for me to say what a Foladore is...
I found that the origin of surname Follador and similar is connected to the "follatura" (I didn't know that).
The "follatura" is a process for the impermeabilization of textiles (or also a process for the pressing of must, but I don't know if a machinery was needed for it).
A man who was a "follatore" was also called a "gualcheraio".
So, maybe the machinery your ancestors had at home (called "follone" or "gualchiera"), was something like what you can see here:

P.S.: the document is called "Stato Delle Anime"

Thank you Pippo! I've seen other reference to "foladore" in other genealogical documents and this helps me to confirm what that word actually means.
