Buongiorno everyone, I have an ancestor in the Bologna Certosa and one in the Ferrara Certosa I would like to visit when I go to Italy in June this year. Would anyone know who I would need to contact to find out where they are buried within the cemetery? Any help would be very much appreciated! Graz...

Grazie Tommaso, I very much appreciate your assistance with this letter. I received 5 letters from the University Library and this was the only one written in Italian -- 1872 Italian. :) Would you be willing to translate this for me? My Italian is pretty much just one or two word sentences right now...

Buon giorno Suanj,

Thank you very much for your kind help. If I rescanned and made the images somewhat larger, would that help in reading it? The original size was very large and I probably overdid the adjustment when I was trying to make it small enough to attach to this forum.

Grazie! Debbie

Grazie Suanj for the suggestion. I'm not sure if this will work but let's see. I'm afraid it may be too small to read now. Here is the link to my 2 page letter. This was written by my ggg gf c1872. I am not having any luck translating it. If there is anyone able to help, I would be very grateful. Th...

I am trying to attach a 2 page letter to my post and am not having any luck. I had to scan the document to my computer so it is a jpeg document. Is this something I should be able to attach? Any suggestions?

Thank you for any help.

Debbie

Suanj,

Lei e meravigliosa! Molte grazie! Debbie

I may be having a problem translating my ancestors information I am requesting. I am just learning a little Italian so bear with me. She died on 21 July 1837 . Is that what I am saying below? I'm not sure what you meant by max death date? Grazie, from just confused. :) Tassinari Rosina nata il 21 lu...

Boun giorno Suanj, I've revised my letter as you suggested. Would you look over one more time to make sure I did as you suggested? Should I include any other money besides the international reply coupons? I've never sent a letter like this before and I want to make sure I am respectful of their time...

Grazie Livio and Suanj!

You both have been very (molto gentile) kind and I appreciate your assistance with this letter.

Debbie

Buon giorno Suan,

I'm not quite sure what you meant about the date of death. Are you suggesting I don't put the year of death in the letter or I shouldn't send the letter?

Grazie mille!

Debbie

Would someone please look at the following letter I wrote to make sure it makes sense and I didn't leave out any information that I will need to request a death record for my ancestor? Grazie! Sorry, I can't figure out how to attach the letter so here it is: Ufficio di Stato Civile Ferrara City Hall...
