I'm sorry I didn't mean to be intrusive. I guess this forum doesn't work like many of the others I have used.

To ajar, I might be of some help to you in the translating of your document as I have had some experience in translating some Atti di Nascitas of my own family.

Contact me if you need ...

My great-great-grandmother was Maria Arrigo from Termini Imerese who married Lorenzo Lo Schiavo. Do you have a Maria in your line? Arrigo seems to be a pretty common name in Termini.
