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?

Italians have a long and deep-rooted tradition of beliefs about luck and things that give either good or bad luck. In Italy there are colloquial names for bad luck.
