Yes, I only have the USA edition since they didn't have any world records for me before. I'll have to wait a while, but I will change my subscription to the World view.

Thanks if you can copy and email it to me. I appreciate it!

Per caso sono giunto in una pagina della vostra discussione (vedi post del 25 May 2010) in cui si chiede di conoscere il significato della parola italiana "faenzaro" indicato come professione o mestiere (occupation) di Gaetano Vollaro.
Conosco bene il significato di questo termine, che non indica né "fornaio", né "someone that conducts such a vehicle".
Il termine "faenzaro" indica il figulo, il ceramista, colui che fa vasi di maiolica. Il termine deriva dalla città di Faenza, famosa nel mondo per le produzioni di ceramica e di maiolica fin dal medioevo. Il termine "faenza" si diffonde in tutta europa per indicare la "maiolica", e "faenzaro" per indicare il "fabbricante di maiolica". In Italia meridionale il termine "faenzaro" si diffonde nel XVII secolo ed usato fino a tutto il XIX secolo.

Hi Jean,

This is the best I can do, but you will be able to get the gist of it.

"For case I am connected in a page of your discussion (you see post of 25 May 2010) in which the meaning of the Italian word asks to know itself "faenzaro" guide like profession or occupation (occupation) of Gaetano Vollaro. I know well the meaning of this limit, that does not indicate né "baker", né "someone that conducts such to vehicle". The limit "faenzaro" indicates the figulo, the ceramista, the one that does pots of majolica. The limit derives from the town of Faience, well-known in the world for the productions of ceramics and of majolica since the medieval age. The limit "faience" it is spread in all of Europe to indicate it "majolica", and "faenzaro" to indicate the "building of majolica". In southern Italy the limit "faenzaro" it is spread in the XVII century and used until ALL of THE XIX century".

Nice to hear from you, Jean.

Thanks again Jim! I hope your quest to find more information about your ancestors is continuing to move forward in a positive way. I'm happy to be able to return here -- hopefully I can find out more about my ancestors. Thank you again for all that you have done for me. I truly appreciate it.

Take care,
Jean
