Great work!!!

Ciao, Pippo. I really appreciate all the time and effort you've put into this. In the end, is/was such a tragic situation for that family, At one point, I thought that the mother may have also died in the process - maybe in trying to save her daughter? But it looks like that wasn't the case.

Thanks ...

Thanks, mmogno. If anyone is interested, this read is fascinating (Cholera Cemetery at Benabbio, Lucca). My wife's 3x grand aunt would've been one of the 46 deceased between September 13 and October 11, 1855, (as per the above record, she died September 23)...

Hello, Forum-

This might be the first time in all of my researching (off and on over a decade) that I have seen this - meaning an actual cause of death in an Italian death record. Can someone please confirm my conclusion/translation (thank you Google Translate for some of the finer points ...

Hi,Angela! Thanks for this. Much appreciated.

Hello, Forum-

Not sure if I'm misinterpreting this record or what, but I THINK it shows a female as being a landowner (possidente) and also a merchant (negoziante). Or am I wrong? If not, isn't this quite unusual? Not sure I've ever come across that circumstance before (sad commentary for the time ...

Fascinating story. Sorry I can't help except perhaps to add that an Ancestry DNA test would likely open more doors than the 23andMe DNA test does (did). Ancestry has a bazillion Trees (and countless related DNA matches), something that 23andMe simply does not provide. I think there's a very good ...

In March 2025, I was personally told at the counter of the comune of Vazzola, Treviso that the high prices were to slow down requests for documents.

I just posted an update to a comune record inquiry on the Immigration, Emigration... sub-forum. Related to that, I'm (almost) starting to wonder if Antenati will somehow soon morph to be come a fee-based web-site. I sure hope not (the existing agreements with the various municipalities for records ...
