I received a death cert. listing my grt. grandmothers, mothers maiden name as MODESTA KAVIVIA, born in Italy. I know there is no "K" in the Italian Alphbet. I tried using "C" inplace but have not found any surname spelling variations even close to this. Any ideas?

Thankyou. I have already sent a letter off. The website was extremely helpful in translating my letter.

I am wondering where I can write to obtain birth & marriage records for Rivalta & Tedesco Families in Solagna? Messino Rivalta born:
Jan. 2, 1864 Solagna & Modesta Tedesco b. july 22, 1873 Solagna.
