Re: Help translating a passport from 1900

Ok, I'll go along with that. I guess it's one of those that's a synonym for 'regular' but literally is different....unlike "regulare".

Hmm....That would be more helpful wouldn't it. Actually I thought I did attach the image. I guess I thought using the Browse button to find the file would attach it......I wondered why there needed to be the "Add Attachment" button too. Duh...... :roll:

Help translating a passport from 1900

Hi! I just was sent a scan of my GGGrandmother's passport to come from Italy. I think I've done pretty well with translating it using translate.google.com but I'm stuck on a couple things I just can't figure out.

According to google, I've got:
