Hello Bob and others,

A listing of some of the fondi in the Archivio di Stato di Avellino shows the following two lines listed under "S" (for Stato Civile):

Bob, many thanks for your reply to Jeff's message. This is a topic of great interest to me as well, and has been discussed briefly here previously in another thread: Catasti Onciari discussion

Vince, did you ever find anyone to help in this regard?

Does anyone else have recent experiences with requesting ...

because i think that "embraciaro" it is no very well transcribed...
Now why would you think that, Suanj? Is it possible that I lack credibilty because I mis-transcribed 'inabile' as 'guabile'? :P :lol:

However, in researching my ancestry in Principato Ultra (now Avellino), I came ...
