Edit to Add:

Re "Contrada"
Here is an explanation from Pippo: "Contrada" was also meant as a hamlet out of main village, and it often consisted of a few houses along a street. So "contrada" can substantially be the same as "street". I noticed that in various towns what were called "contrada"s in 1800 are now streets in the village/town (maybe they grew since then, and incorporated the hamlet).

Well done on the translation Mike, it's easy for me because I am so familiar with the names now.


Another edit: Sorry Mark, I've called you Mike :oops:

Hi, Angela-

Thanks for the correction to the Avino name (I was confused by it) and also for posting that explanation by Pippo. Very helpful stuff. And no worries about my name!

:D
