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!
Hello to everyone;
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a blank "atti di nascita" translated from Italian to English. I'm very interested in knowing what every sentence is stating. I have stumbled through the translations for the birth records in my family, and while I know what most of the form is asking/stating, I do believe I am missing something.
I can't find translated blank forms (or just sentences ) for birth, death, marriage, etc.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks to everyone.

Ann, I thoroughly enjoyed your website. It was both helpful and informative.
Tessa, the family history link has provided me with information I've long been searching for.
Marty, your translation fit my document almost to the sentence.
Thanks to all of you I've discovered even more about my relatives. These people are gone now, but I grew up listening to the stories of Italy at our table.
Thanks so much for all of your help.

An Italian novel for kids called "La Freccia Azzurra" (The Blue Arrow) says that all the children in the world wait for Christmas Eve to get presents from Santa Clause, but Italian kids are the luckiest in the world because they get presents again on the 6th of January by the Befana.
