Thank you Peter!

In a swedish record from 1903 there is a person written as Valente Isodoro Giovanni (from S:t Gassie in Caserta province). In Sweden that says his surname is Giovanni as we write given names before the surname, but I suspect that Valente is the surname. What do you think?

Thank you Peter! I'll check out the link.

What is the correct spelling of this surname, or maybe it can be spelled either way!? With V, W or both? With one (t) or two (tt)? Records found in Sweden.

Ohh, I see. There is alot to learn. Thanks.

I guess there is no spelling of the name with k or r either!?

I suppose then that the names Jacopucci = Iacopucci, Janco = Ianco & Jori = Iori ...

Thank you Lucap!

I wonder if Ginseppe is a real italian given name or if it is just a misspelled Giuseppe? Records found in Sweden.
