Grandfather

[BethW]

Hi Last,

Going back to the reference in the naturalization papers to "Monte Foresco," there does appear to be a place in Umbria called Foresco, postal code 06054. It is a frazione of the commune Fratta Todina in Perugia.

Good luck.

Hello, I received information from the Comune Di Montefusco. Is there anyone who I could fax it to that could translate it. If I understand it at all it look like I have received information back to 1812. I hope someone could help me to translate. Some of the documentation is handwritten.

Thank you

If it's not too long, use imageshack.com to host it & post in "Translation" catagory.

When done "hosting it" go to the Direct Link" copy & then paste,

Do you have a scanner on your fax machine? If so you can scan it to your documents and then email it to me as an attachment. I can link it for you if you have traouble with imageshack.
Otherwise, scan it, save it to your desktop...open a new window and type imageshack. Click on Browse and open the file. When it attaches, click on upload. After a few minutes it will upload with several options (I use the last options). Copy the url and paste in this thread. It should work. If you have any questions you can post here or PM me for my email if you would like to send it.

It's a very clear post but my Italian is poor. I can make out what it says roughly but not word for word. The handwritten part is the hardest for me...

There are others though that will have no problem with this. Hang tight, ok?

Hello everyone, I received information from the Comune Di Montefusco about my grandfather. The information shows him being borth and I received other information that goes back as far as 1812. If I uderstand it correctly, and after having it translated from my friend on the forum, it looks like I have received information as far back as my great great grandfather and mother. I am very excited to have this information but this bring me to other questions. Now I would lke to know if my grandfather had brothers and sisters,and also find out other information about my tree when it was a sapling. What direct could I take to do this research?
