Most of the names in the index are Quattrini, common there for years, but one entry was corrected maybe because it, t...

Arce, Frosinone/Caserta.Maternal last name on birth record.

Thank you very much.

Re: Offering Russian/Ukrainian/Polish Genealogy assistance

I'd be grateful for translations of Polish birth records of my greatgrandmother, Pelagia Maria Jagniatkowska, 1867 in Modliborek, KP; her brother Leon's death in 1851; Sister Pelagia Anastazja birth. All children of Wawrzyniec and Joanna (Kzreciejewska) Jagniatkowski.
Thank you so much!

Olive oil, grated cheese sauce used. Even the air drying was a skilled trade.

Re: Eating Spaghetti in Naples

Yes, thanks ! My ancestors were Casertan macaroni makers , millers, and pizza makers, so I included in my tree several illustrations of open air macaroni making and munching like those you shared.

Photo ID. Golden Anniversary.

Trying to ID subjects . Photo was owned by centenarian female cousin (passed 4 years ago) who grew up in Providence, worked in NJ, retired in Florida. Could photo be of immigrants -- solemn expressions ,painted backdrop, plant don't seem like 50's in USA ?
Research so far unsuccessful.
Thank you.
