Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Marriage Borserio to Fiorina - Italian Translation help

Oh wow, Mary, thank you so much for this! It does look very pretty! Their surname was Ronco not Romeo, but thank you for that. The s's were written as f's which is interesting to know. I had noticed that before in a name (Bassi) but had forgotten that fact. Thank you for the extra information on the address. You have gone above and beyond. You are also right about the year being 1879. My husband's grandmother was in her 30's when she came to Australia. It was an arranged marriage and it took some time for her future husband to become established in Australia after many setbacks, such as diseases in cattle, rust on a coffee plantation, an accident etc. They eventually married and had one son. I suspect she was a bit old to have any more children (for those days). Thank you again. Deb

Mary50, I have another huge request for you. This is a snip of my husband's grandmother's birth record in 1889 in Villa di Tirano, Sondrio, Italy. It states that her father was Giovanni and I am not sure whether the woman mentioned (Maria Scaletti) was his mother or his wife and it is strange as it has fu after her name I think which is deceased? Alan's family had believed that Maria Scaletti was the mother (and that the father was Domenico but they got this wrong). Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Deb

PPS Mary50, would you be able to identify the commune that they were living in at Sondrio? It looks like Gueppo but I can't read it. They lived at Villa di Tirano I thought. I've looked through all the "communes"in Sondrio but I can't see anything like what is printed here. It might be the alphabet that is different? Thanks again, Deb

PS I have gathered that Figlio di means son of and that figlia di means daughter of. Also anni di means age, agricola is farmer, and that before the names of the parents, di means living and su means deceased, so at the time of the marriage, Giovanna Pianto, the groom's mother, was deceased but the other parents were living. I have also seen the s's written like f's in these documents. Mary, can you see the year of the marriage in the snips that I shared? I believe it was the year 1891. Thank you all again! Deb

Thank you so much, Sami, Mckha489 and Mary50. You have all been a great help. Especially Mary for that extra information. Absolutely awesome, thank you! My husband's family will appreciate this help as not only now do they have the names of their great great grandparents but also their birth years of the great great grandfathers (approximate). Mary50, no this is the main information that I wanted but I would appreciate some help if I find any more relevant documents to interpret. So happy, thank you, will add this info into the family tree. Deb

Hi i am not sure whether rootschat experts may help here but I am trying to decipher a marriage certificate of my husband's great grandparents, Agostina Fiorina and Agostino Borserio. I am looking to find the parents of both of these people in this marriage certificate. The names of the parents I believe are after figlia di ....I had to do 5 snips of this document as I had to enlarge it to understand the small print. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated. Deb
