Caro Joseph,
io non parlo inglese e ti rispondo in italiano. Come hai visto nel mio sito, Felicita si chiamava di cognome anche lei Del Favero e Cavalier era, come è anche oggi, il soprannome di un ramo delle tante famiglie Del Favero di Valle. Il motivo di questo soprannome non lo conosco ma ...

Elba,

I shall attach your translation thread to the certificate and consider this particular case closed. Thanks for your time and effort.

It seems to be a military release of obligations since Luigi was, (according to my records) living in the USA in 1917. I'm guessing he was not yet a citizen here and had to be released from Italy's draft requirements for WWI. Does that make sense to anyone?

Also a big thanks to Valerie and elba ...

Fourth try. Here goes nothing.

Trying to translate document. Thanks, Joe B.

Keeps failing. Is there a size limit on uploads? Mine is under 300KB.

I was able to upload my profile photo last week. That was under 6KB however.

I'm trying both Imageshack and my own blogsite. Neither seems to work ...

I followed imageshack instructions but image is not uploading? Guess I will work on it tomorrow.

I am really interested in your Nebbiu records. Maybe you can take a look for our grandfather?

I'm researching Francesco Romano (Luigi?) De Maso. Born Nebbiu 1866, emigrated to US 1896. Married Giuseppina Del Favero in 1896. She was a Del Favero from Valle di Cadore. The Del Favero line is well ...

Yes, the Francesco who emigrated in 1896 is in fact my wife's grandfather. It's his ancestry that I've been researching which sort of dead-ends in Nebbiu. Thanks for you time and assistance however.... Joe B.

I'm afraid you've got me there. What exactly is a frazione?

Joe B.

Joe Blackwell here again. I visited Tai di Cadore and Nebbiu' in 1999. Poor planning on my part and not speaking Italian worked against me, although the people in the area were wonderful and helpful. My question is: Is Tai di Cadore attached or related to Valle di Cadore, or is it a separate ...

I am requesting a birth certificate for Franceso De Maso from both Pieve di Cadore and Valle di Cadore. This I expect will take more than a little time. I thank both Peter and liviomoreno for their assistance in this matter. I will post the outcome of my request when it becomes available.

Joe ...
