Wow....No kidding.....saved me more then a trip, the saved hours of dead end finds is a blessing all by itself. Thanks so Much Tessa......You are an Angel !! Happy Hunting....Jodi

WOW..YES TESSA !! Thanks so much, what a treasure. I'm not trying to push my luck here but let me throw this out there....Although those are BOTH the people I'm looking for, I'm coming across information that states Vito immigrated in 1894 and that he and Maria Theresa didn't marry until 1937 ...

HI ALL,

Researching VITO & Mary (Colletti) MATTAY B: 1872 & April 19, 1874, in Villalba, Caltanissetta, Sicilia, Italy...Immigrated to USA 1894 or 7, not sure. M: September 4, 1937, in Kings County, New York. I believe there were 10 children all born in the USA.
I've been out of the research ...

Morning,

After having a few moments to go through the above posting of translations (of which I am extremely greatful) I find that the first 2 translations are indeed connected to my family by exact parental names.

I find that my Domenico had 2 sons Ermengildo (I had ) and Leander (found by this ...

So sorry I haven't checked the site. I have been so busy with family the last few days. Thank you so much for the translations. I haven't had a chance to read them through yet but will get to them in just a few days. I truely appreciate your time and effort.

Blessings.............Jodi

I sat here last night and tried to decipher these documents one sloppy word at a time and I'm telling you its not fun. Nor did I get anywhere. If I didn't spell the work correctly I recieved no response from the program. I found that quite amusing as I actually expected a machine to know better ...

Thank you all so much for your valuable insight. And thanks for the LDS site listed above. I'll look into that right after I get this posted.

I had to step back and write it all out by hand.....lol. I am then to understand that Leandro (abt 183????) is the brother of my Ermenegildo Maria Giuseppe ...

YES this is my family..........
I have in my files

Domenio Cantoni and Anna Maria Bruschi their
SON ERMENGILDO, wife EUROSI FERRARI
and his son Melchiorre, wife Eufrosina LEVATI
Melchiorre Immg. to USA w/5 children and had 4 more the last was my grand father

That is all I have, this record ...

Do you think it might be possible to host these images at sayyyyy.....auctiva or verizon, where it would be easier for others to look at them, I think then maybe the images could be seen better?????

OMGOODNESS..................thats my family........

OOOOO cart wheels.................

I need to get that record translated......you are so awesome............thanks so very much...........

This just told me that my great grandfather had a brother..........OOOOO I'm so excited.......Blessings ...

Livio,

Thanks so much for your help, there isn't enough info available for me to determine if these are related. The 1852 marriage was the ONE I was really hoping for and seems to be the most unreadable. Again thanks for your time.......Jodi

MArriage !!! You're kidding !! :roll: I've had them for about a year now, maybe two and I always thought they were baptismal records. I'm wondering now if I ordered the wrong films a few years back. Anyway, thanks so much for your gracious help. If I can do any New Jersey research for you, please ...

Any body suggest a board where someone will actually just say "hey send that to me" !!! Files are 2 big and I'm not looking to spend 3 hours trying to figure it out when I'm so computer illiterate. I managed to scan and save them, all 4 are different sizes and 2 big to post........

I have several birth records that I zeroxed from a LDS film. I have had several people, including an elderly couple from Italy try to translate them for me with no luck. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. They seem to think the records might be in Latin or really old Italian. Approx 1850 & 1885 ...

Thank you.......JCSM. Been working on this branch most of the day. Still excited about the manifest. I also found the 1902 manifest for Carmelo and noticed that there were 2 men travelling with him by the last name of PENDOLFO. If might be possible that these men were Maria Pendolfos brothers. What ...
