Re: Writing a letter

Cedrone, Darkerhorse

Thank you for the suggestions. Here is what I did. I wrote out the letter in English, used the google translator to Italian. I then used the google translator to go from the Italian back to English. Saw a lot of context issues i.e. colloquialism that did not translate and ...

My mother and father visited the town in 1976 and the buildings and pictures they had match up with a google drive ...

May I make a suggestion. no one is likely to look in this thread and see your request. You might want to start a new thread in Locations, similar to mine. That is surname, town. That way people will home in on it directly. You did not list the surname, be sure you include that.

Good Luck

Bob

Re: Magnino - Sparone, Piedmont

angela, cedrone

well I learn even more with each post.

Did not even think about the concept of publication of marriage before the wedding.

It struck me that they were both kind of up there in age, to be getting married Giacomo at 34 and Caterina at 29.

In the birth record does locality Appare (which ...

I want to find where my grandfather lived in Italy. I want to find the actual location not just the town. My aunt would write to the family and kept communications for many years until her death in the early 1980’s. Unfortunately her address book information was ...
