Hello, All- It's been awhile since I've posted here. I hope everyone is doing well these days, staying healthy and safe... This one is tough. Anyone care to make a guess as to Carmela's surname? She is the deceased mother of Nicolina Bonnano - the subject of the death record. This morti record is da...

FTM? FTM = Family Tree Maker @edilalla142 I don't know of any such method myself, but do wish there was a download function from Antenati. My guess is there are copyright matters precluding that being the case. When using my MacBook Air, a work-around is that I simply use Command+Shift+4 function. ...

Thanks for the response GF77, but, yeah, I'm definitely logged in when this happens. I've dowloaded thousands and thousands of these records in the past half dozen years so, so this is a recent phenomenon for me. Again, I haven't searched in several months and just am wondering if perhaps there had ...

Hello, Forum- After having taken an extended break from genealogy since my memorable trip to Montreal and Toronto in August (where I found my Italian grandfather and his parents buried in Holy Sepulchre cemetery in Burlington, which lies just outside Hamilton), I haven't had occasion to use Family S...

Always amazes me how good these "pros" are here. These are great finds. I recollect seeing the Biagi surname in my intensive Lucca searching from several years ago (Capannori/Badia Di Cantignano/Vorno and also Gallicano).

Good job, suanj!

Nuccia-

Losing your mother is one of the most difficult things a person can ever experience in life (I know it was for me). You have my sincere condolences.

Maybe I'm wrong, but, as far as I know, PM's stay in Outbox until they are read (though they are actually sent). After they are read by the addressee, they are automatically moved into the Sent Messages Box. I have 21 messages in my Outbox at the moment, one since 2012! Oh, wow. I didn’t know that....

Hi- Sorry for posting this message here, but I tried to PM a Moderator and am having the very same issue I want to inquire with them about: My recent messages are stuck in my Outbox. Can someone look into this? I tried to send a message to Nuncio... but now THAT message is also now stuck in the Outb...

Hi, Erudita-

Nice to hear from you and also have your input here. The writing is so faint that it's just hard to know. I may just end up looking from 1842 backwards for all decedents who have the first name Carmela. Maybe I'll get lucky there.

Thanks.

Hi, T- Thanks for your expert eye(s) here. Looking at other nearby records, I see now they refer to church parish/cathedral (parrocchia cattedrale) after the widows's name. That's not terribly important, I know. After Carmela, it refers to the last name and then also "morta", correct? I'm ...

Hello, Forum- This is a tough one. The writing is quite faint. Can someone try and translate/correct/fill in the blanks? Record No. 31 Dated: 27 Feb 1842 at 5:00 PM, in the town hall of Santa Lucia del Mela, appeared Pietro Trifiro, age 50, cattle hand, and Mariano (?) Calderone, age 30 (?), farm ha...

Lucia was mentioned as being the s daughter of (deceased) Giovanni, as well as (deceased) Angela (the mother). The underlined text is hard to make out, but I’m sure someone else here will figure it out for you. She was the widow of deceased Agostino. T. Hi, T. See what I get for trying to help? A s...

Lucia was mentioned as being the son of (deceased) Giovanni, as well as (deceased) Angela (the mother). The underlined text is hard to make out, but I’m sure someone else here will figure it out for you.

Thanks very much, Pippo. You're always of great assistance to me here.

Hello, Forum- Is always good to be back "snooping around" here... :D Can someone please translate the annotation for this Santa Lucia del Mela (Messina) record? No. 104 Concetta Trifiro https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GTFF-5N?i=554&wc=93L9-K68%3A179053501%2C179348201&a...
