Hi T. I am in a quandary. When I ordered these films from the FHC catalog, they were indicated on the list as "matrimoni". I failed to note upon arrival that they were not "atti di matrimonio". I had become accustomed to minor changes to forms during this period and ignored the f...

Thank you, Livio.

Hi Livio

That explains why I couldn't figure it out.
Why would the bride and groom have a legal representative? I'm not sure I have seen this before. Also, is a "marriage promise" the same as a marriage?

Thank you

Francesco was born in Caserta of (deceased) Filippo and (deceased) Raffaela Mezzarazo (?) and i...

Hi T.

I don't think I have seen "Loreto" before. I kept looking for Lorenzo, but there weren't enough letters.
On Masullo, I wanted clarification of the "s".
Thank you for your help.

I am having trouble determining the given name of the bride's father. Also, what is the surname of the bride's mother? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you for that clarification. I have to admit that I hadn't paid attention to that info because I already had the groom and his parents in my tree from his first marriage.

Thank you very much for the help.

Hi T.

That surely makes more sense. Normally I find that info attached to the bride's name, not her mother's.
So, needless to say, I was confused by it.

Thank you

I am assuming it could be ...

Hi T.

I hadn't seen Vitantonio before. It all makes sense now.

Thank you so much for your help.

Yes, I see that.

As usual I was confused by it. You have been a big help.

Thank you.

I saw what looked like venti, but then looked at the writing that slants downward after it. It kind of looks like ventinove. Do you think I am reading words from another line?

Thank you

Hi again T. :) I found the marriage of another child who was born abt 1836, which would make Angiola about 51 years old. Needless to say, I am still suspicious of the age on her death act. http://s1.postimage.org/2tw8sfpl0/Baldassarre_Saldamarco_marr_1861_001.jpg Can you figure out Teresa's age on t...

You are correct. I don't have the births but the marriages of her children. They were born abt 1820-1831. I encountered another death that I had better info on the person. She was listed as 90 but was much closer to 80 years old. Because of the lack of literacy, I have found the older a person becam...
