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!
I am trying to translate my great grandfather's birth document. I am having trouble deciphering what this part says. It is the part after where his mother's name, age, and locality is stated. The part I'm having trouble with is indicated by question marks: di anni trentatre a da ?????? di anni ----- di professione domiciliato ----- nel giorno otto del mese di sopra anno ??????? alle oro sei nella casa ??????? Here is the document on Photobucket, if you can copy and paste. Hope the link works, or can be copied & pasted. Thanks! --Sue
