There are some LDS record films called "Notificazione" from the Registri dello stato civile in Modica. Anyone know what these would be? Are these like marriage banns or something?

A "Notificazione" is the same as a pubblicazione which are marriage banns. They give a lot of information and are well worth the effort of ordering and reading. Here is a great site that will help you with what the various documents mean and more:

I hope this helps.

Thanks, Cathy! I will definitely order this film. I've bookmarked the glossary, too-- it looks like it will be very helpful!

Hey cathy..

Thats a great link. Not sure I ever saw that page before but I also bookmarked it.

Glad Cathy was able to answer your question, JB5150.

Look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi,
That site has been very helpful as Essgee found some marriage docs for the Nervinos and I can read most of them thanks to the glossary. Wanted to thank whoever posted it but couldn't find where I saw it, so thanks, Cathy.

I've been reading it to my mother and she keeps saying Oh yeah, repeating the phrases but clipping off the endings as usual.
