I just noticed your death record is free-form so the above guide for a structured format won't help you in this case. But it should be helpful for later documents.

The following which includes a link to “Italian Records Extraction – An Instructional Guide” is a really good resource for helping with Italian Civil Records. I fully recommend it. https://script.byu.edu/italian-handwrit ... tion-guide

Re: Translation of documents
That document is the transcript, made in Brindisi on 15 May 1902, of the birth certificate of Ines Alessandrina Salzedo, registered at the Italian Consulate in Alexandria, Egypt, on 16 April 1901.slinkysilv wrote: 04 Nov 2025, 07:44 Hi just another annoying question - how do you guys translate documents - I am having such a hard time - I managed to find a death certificate for my grandmother's baby sister -
