Re: Australian girl seeks Italian/Jugoslavian heritage info

Hiya guys. :) Just a quick update. FINALLY have the documents from the National Archives - the full file (kinda). There were are few documents that were concealed for political reasons, but I'll argue for those if possible. Will review the file tonight and decide on the next course of action... in o...

Your favourite little translation website doesn't seem to think so... it doesn't even recognise your last phrase. :twisted:

Re: Just starting to search

Dear people all you do is convince me that I am more sophisticated than I thought. Peter FYI - Sophistication has nothing to do with crude, boorish behaviour such as that which you have presented on this site many times. Quite the opposite, in fact, my dear . As for living in NY, where the "hu...

Re: Australian girl seeks Italian/Jugoslavian heritage info

I'm glad I've been basing my research on the paper evidence, and not on my mother's recollection... Was talking to her last night, and we got onto the topic of the research. I mentioned trying to get info on her grandmother (father's mother), Catherine Beric. She claimed that Beric was a Dutch name,...

Re: Australian girl seeks Italian/Jugoslavian heritage info

Thanks for the help, guys and gals. :) It's all one big waiting game now. Have sent letters to the Consolato d'Italia and a couple of other places, so there doesn't seem to be much more I can do. O/T - Have also sent away for some information from BD&M (Dept. of Births, Deaths & Marriages) a...

Wldspirit:

I've only had time for a brief look, but muchos gracias senorita. :) This seems to be exactly what I need to get ahead.

Now hopefully they'll reply... especially if I add a little incentive or two. :wink: Although I should check the exchange rate for $AUS to the Euro... :D

Re: Australian girl seeks Italian/Jugoslavian heritage info

I have written the letter in English - that's where I got the first translation from (to Italian). The re-translation was a quality/accuracy check on the program... I'm sending both English and Italian as a courtesy to both them and myself. They can choose which language to reply in - and I will hav...

Re: Australian girl seeks Italian/Jugoslavian heritage info

I initially translated from English to Italian. Then, to check the quality, I put the exact Italian translation back into the system, and translated it to English. I have heard of cases like this before, where a re-translation goes awry. That's why I posted it, to get the input and assistance of peo...

Re: Australian girl seeks Italian/Jugoslavian heritage info
