Hi Bartsimp

Did you have any luck chasing up your Cutugno in Messina??????

Thanks for that pink67. The records that are on the National Archives site are in relation to his naturalisation, I actually have his certificate it was given to me by one of his daughters.

Hi I am just beginning my Italian research for my Grandfather Filippo Cutugno who was born in Messina in 1895.

Thank you Liviomoreno.

Thanks Elba that is very kind of you. Would you be interested in having a look at the other pages for me? The main info I want to be able to understand is the position/job he was in throughout his period as a seaman, as well as the translation for the additional information that is included on these...

It looks similar to a passport. There's not alot of writing on the pages but from what I have managed to translate it states things like his movements at sea, what position/job he was doing at the time. There is some additional information listed on some of the pages but I have no clue what it is in...

Hi

My Grandfather was an Italian seaman and I have luckily came across some records of his from his time at sea and was hoping that someone might be able to translate these pages for me.

There's about 7-8 pages and unfortunately I do not speak or read Italian.

Any help would be fantastic.

Thanks
