I thank each for you for your help in this. Your efforts and resources are a continued source of education and 'aha' moments for me.

Angela, this is for my database not my ancestry -- thanks for remembering.

I am most appreciative,
Donna

thanks for your thoughts, angela. i was also wondering if it was an 'h' . the names are not Arianese. to me there is more of a german flavor.

yes, i am aware the records are now all online - SO much easier to read the digital records than the microfilms!!

thanks again,
donna

i believe that the professione of the father, Don Pietrantonio, is 'comico.' google translates this into 'comic.'

thanks,
