I am hoping to clarify the following 3 points (record is on right-hand side, very bottom, continuing onto next page):

1) according to the record, which of the bride's parents hails from Valperga - the mother only, or both mother and father? It looks like the bride (M. M. Frasca) was born elsewhere (in Noli).

2) the occupation listed for the father of the groom (Gaicomo Calcagno)?

3) the year of birth of the groom (Carlo B. Calcagno) - hard to read, but looks like 1784,which would match his stated age of 22. Can anybody decipher it and confirm?

Thank you again to all the wonderful people on this site who continue to help those of us who are less experienced!

Livio -Thanks so much for your help! Now if I could only figure out the occupation! I have a record for a cousin of Giacomo and he has the same occupation listed - looks like "chanin" or something, but no dot on the i - so probably not an i.. Strange..

[liviomoreno]

Could you post the record of this cousin?

[jkingb]

Yes, of course.

See Pietro (top right):

See also - Francisco (again, top right). Actually, here is looks more like "charion" or "chanon"?

Thanks, I appreciate it. That must be it. I found something earlier on google translate - cart or transport for one of the variations I put in ( I tried quite a few to see if anything worked). But I wasn't sure (since it wasn't a clear occupation) and then I gave up. This is great. Thanks again for your help.
