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!

Elizabeth, this is a birtact of Domenico Mangiardi, son of Vincenzo that had the child from a woman no married, no in relationship with Vincenzo and no in relationship affinity( in the levels no paternity hindering acknowledgment ).., and recognized only from Vincenzo.... regards, suanj

Contrary to popular belief, not all Italian given names have Christian or classical roots.
