Thank you so much!

We were always told (as I'm sure all Garibaldis) that we are related to the "Great" general.

Could someone translate this for me?

Thank you!!

I was thinking it might help to have a form (blank) of the stato civile records (birth death and marriage).

I could look at the LDS films and just copy into them, the important info.

Are there such forms available?

Thanks I will order a copy.......

I'll also ask if they can scan them.

The lady at the LDS Said they just got a memo that the catholic church will no longer allow microfilming of records. They don't know why-

I imagine I could also write to the stato civile and get copies of the records as well ...

I ordered three films and went in today to view them. Starting on the first film I started having "HITS" right away...so what is my problem? The microfische reader is junk.....i can barely read the document and printing was a disaster....

The printed copies are so dark and fuzzy that no words can ...

Thanks for the links! I haven't found anything on the wvculture site though....I'll keep lookin'

that is it, her name was actually eunice catherine boreman (Miskevich) but she went by catherine.

I am going to keep trying till I get it right, I'll try the "less is more" and see what happens.

Thanks for your help.

No recommendation but hope you have a wonderful time.

My maiden name is genotti, but when i found my family in Italy I noticed everyone has what "appears" to be two last names.

I find out it is really Carolina Vottero Vintrella

I found the children she had w/my gr grand ...

Carolina,

Where was your family from in Italy? Do you know the name of the person who left Italy to go to Chile? If so, what was his name? Do you know who his parents were?
