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 have made out Carminella Galotta, daughter of Nicola Galotta & Vittoria Vota (sp?) and widow of Carmine Gagliardinio; I cannot find the when (other than 1866) or how old....where are they hiding?

Because success in this field requires practice and perseverance, as well as skills m...
