Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!

The bride's mother is Maria Merola (not Mierola)
I thank you, too, for the clarification...
I saw the "della Monica" but wasn't sure what that was

The greatest exodus of modern history has been that of the Italians. Since 1861, more than twenty-four million departures have been recorded.
