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!
Earlier, Livio and Marty helped to decipher this record (# 111 for Felice Sausto (1828-1872). Can we (and I use that term to mean everyone but me) take a second look and confirm his mother, Luigia Caggiano, was still alive when he died and - if so - where she was living at the time of his death?

Thank you, again. I will go through the records again.

As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands.
