Hello everyone

I could use some help with a letter I'm writing my cousin to request additional documents for my great grandparents.

"Dear Angelo,

I hope that you and your family are doing very well. All of us here are staying well.

I am writing to see if you can help once again locate documents on our family, and would like to request photocopies of the integral acts of birth of Francesco Saverio Epifano, born 16 November 1842, and Carmela Esposito, born 11 September 1845.

As always, I sincerely appreciate your help and look forward to hearing from you soon.

A hug from America,
John Bifano"

Based on help from Carole in the past, here's what I've come up with. I'm a bit confused on how to say "I would like to request."

"Caro Angelo,

Spero che tu e la tua famiglia sono benissimo. Tutti noi stiamo bene qui.

Ti scrivo per vedere se puoi aiutarmi ancora una volta a trovare dei documenta della nostra famigilia e “would like to request” fotocopie del copia integrale dell'atto di nascita di Francesco Saverio Epifano, nato 16 novembre 1842 e Carmela Esposito, nata 11 settembre 1845.

Come sempre, apprezzo moltissimo il tuo aiuto e spere di recvere presto notizie da te.

Un abbraccio dall’America,
John Bifano"

Thanks,
Biff

Good luck Biff! I'll keep my fingers crossed (and toes) crossed for a positive and quick response! _________________ nuccia Italian Surname Database Calabria Exchange
