thanks. I just needed someone else to take a look at the original. I couldn't agree with myself on the letters.

Greg

Attached is a marriage certificate for Cialdino Lattanzi and Venezia Caste, my great grandparents. I am just trying to properly decipher Cialdino's mothers maiden name. I have it as Frencesca Rocca, however the Rocca doesn't look much like Rocca.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, GReg

forgive my ignorance, but do they still require some fee for this. I checked on the website http://www.comune.carrara.ms.gov.it/pag ... ivile.html

but didn't see anything like fees.

Also should I ask for her death and possible marriage certificates?

thanks, Greg

She is the mother of Gio. Bat. and was born in Sorgnano in 19 April 1803 and died in Carrara in 16 Jun 1878. I couldn't find her ( I also search familysearch) but I guess that I have not perfected the searching terms.

Would I request from the Commune di Carrara?

Thanks again, Greg

I am not sure of that. I can guess that she was born in Carrara as my great grandfather Cialdino Lattanzi was born in Carrara in 1861.

Greg

Don't be sorry! I think that this is incredible. Pippo is very generous and I thank him for that.

Best, Greg

No I do not have that one. I do know that Giovanni Battista married Francesca Rocca. How difficult would that be to get?

Greg

This is a 1712 (I think) marriage certificate. I am unsure of some of the names as they are in Latin.

Thanks for the help.

Greg

Thank you. Is it typical to do that, say in a case of no father? What would be the next course of action to find the father?

Thanks, Greg

I have been able to translate most of this document, however I am a bit perplexed as to the intended meaning of the "figlio di Maddalena di Giovanni Lattanzi". Is it son of Maddalena and Giovanni, or son of Maddalena (daughter) of Giovanni Lattanzi?

Thanks for the help.

Gregory

I am not sure I understand so the "original" name would be Latanzi? Where did the second "t" come in?

Greg

Wow! That is amazing. Thank you very much.

Greg

I am not sure if these documents are recording the same event or of the one on the right is a corrected version of the one on the left.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Gregory

Pippo

So quick question. Is the written word Latantio supposed to be translated as Lattanzio, as you have in parentheses? Why is the "t" a "z"?

Thank you so very much. A mixture is what was throwing me.

Best, Greg
