I hope this letter can be translated to Italian for me. I am going to make separate requests for both my great grandfather and great grandmother. I have to send this to 2 different communes.

Can someone help me out. Did I ask for the correct things. Nuccia suggested to also request the publication. Did I include that correctly in my request, or are there other documents I did not include in this request. I will also be writing to the Church looking for these records as well.

Any help would be great.

Dear Gentlemen,

My name is __________________, and I live the United States at the above stated address.

I am searching for information regarding my great grandfather Antonio Rescigno. He was born in the commune of Roccapiemonte. I am requesting this information to find out more about my family.

I would be very grateful if you could mail me the atto della solenne promessa di celebrare il matrimonio for Antonio Rescigno. He was born in about 1846. He married Angela Catalano in about 1872.

I thank you beforehand for your kindness and efficiency, and I ask you to inform me of the cost of the extract.

Sincerely,



lilbees

Here's the translation. Maybe our experts could tell you if you need to add more documents.


Gentile Signore,
mi chiamo_______________ e vivo negli Stati Uniti presso il suddetto recapito.

Sto cercando informazioni riguardo mio bisnonno Antonio Rescigno, nato nel comune di Roccapiemonte.
Sto chiedendo queste informazioni per sapere di più sulla mia famiglia.

Sarei grata se potesse spedirmi l'atto della solenne promessa di celebrare il matrimonio di Antonio Rescigno, nato all'incirca nel 1946 (MAYBE 1846?). Sposò Angela Catalano nel 1872 circa.

Ringrazio anticipatamente per la Vostra cortesia ed efficienza, e chiedo cortesemente di comunicarmi il costo di tale estratto.

Cordialmente,

Looks good, any additions, documents, etc.? Thank you Goganga!

I will wait until later today to see if others have additions.

You're welcome!

Io farei alcune modifiche:

Thank you Luca.

You seemed to cover all that I wanted to include and I do like the format you also included. It is much clearer than I had wrote.

I do appreciate your time and effort.

lilbees

Forgot this! I do want to include his parents names since there are other Antonio's of similar age.

"Figlio di Giovanni RESCIGNO e Maria GRISANI"

lilbees

lilbees,

Include it right after

Code::

il mio bisnonno Antonio Rescigno, figlio di Giovanni RESCIGNO e Maria GRISANI, nato nel comune di Roccapiemonte.

Hey! Thanks Nuccia. I think the letter is now finished and will mail my letters on Monday after getting the new stamps.

lilbees

No problem lilbees...

You have me in the mood to write some letters. I may do that now too!

Let us know when you get an answer ok?

Trust me, I will let everyone know! I am sending requests to several communes to make sure I am covering all areas. I realize it will take some time but in the end it is all worth it even if the answers are in the negative. The information helps to point me in more positive directions. Heck! It only costs a stamp or two in most cases.
