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 found the death records of two of my ancestors from Orciano di Pesaro, Parish of San Silvestro: Andrea Bissoni in 1781 and his wife Maria Mancini in 1782, but I am having trouble getting information out of them.
I especially need help with the 1782 record because I can't understand if it is says Camilla, daughter of Mario Mancini, widow of Andrea Bissoni or if it says Camilla, daughter of Maria Mancini and Andrea Bissoni
Can anyone help me read them? Thanks!

TIP: When asking for records from Italy, do NOT ask for an "estratto." ALWAYS ask for a "copia integrale." A photocopy of the original Act will contain more information
I find it rather hard to read, however:
she seems to be the daughter of Maria Mancini (it seems to be clearly Mariae, genitive case, with the "ae" written like the greek ɛ);
the the following word might be "viduae", but I don't see the "ae" so clearly.
Following, it states "Aetatis suae annorum septem" (at age 7).
So, this should be the Death record of one of Andrea and Maria's daughters.

An Italian novel for kids called "La Freccia Azzurra" (The Blue Arrow) says that all the children in the world wait for Christmas Eve to get presents from Santa Clause, but Italian kids are the luckiest in the world because they get presents again on the 6th of January by the Befana.
