great great grandfathers birth cert
I would appreciate any help in the full translation of this birth cert. I had to take pictures of it and then piece those together, as my local LDS center doesn't have the film viewers that can photocopy as well. so I did my best with my camera and photoshop. and now I need help.
thanks to all those that can read the hand written portions... those parts are making me go blind(er)!! lol.

Re: great great grandfathers birth cert
You have to start somewhere..the subsequent pages in the book gives you an assist with the translations and now with your relatives in Italy you should start increasing your vocabulary don't you think? (homework always is a cross to bear!!!) =Peter=

Re: great great grandfathers birth cert
I can translate a lot of the document for you. Can you just tell me the name of the town this record is from. Thanks.
Re: great great grandfathers birth cert
The year on the document is 1859 and not 1849.
Re: great great grandfathers birth cert
The baby's father, Michele di Lorenzo, also the informant on the record was age 35 and not age 34.

Re: great great grandfathers birth cert
On this one I agree that DiAna is much more diffused than DiOna, however the handwriting is closer to DiOna...maestra36 wrote:Thank you. Also the mother's maiden name was Diana and not Diona.
Re: great great grandfathers birth cert
Diana is the surname which is currently prevalent in that town. There is no one in the town with the surname Diona, if you ck the current white pages for the town. Also I have the record magnified in a photo program and I can see that the letter is an o and not an a.
Re: great great grandfathers birth cert
so possibly the original spelling was an o and not an a. I meant to add that.
