Hi Charlene,
Will obtain the BC of the 4 children from the Comune (Registry Office) May or may not show parents.  From the State Archives I will get the BC for Antognia Bono 1860.  That will show her parents and may or may not have a notation about marriage.  Think the name should be Antonia.

As soon as will let you know.

Hey Steve,

Do you use PEC when emailing Italian offices?

[steve62]

Hi Battista,
Have used PEC once or twice, but mainly ordinary e-mail if any.  PEC is supposed to be, I  think, like sending a registered letter.  Makes little differance as I don't always get a reply anyway. As a matter of general interrest.  I do follow up e-mails if after time I don't get a reply, but sometimes they never reply and there are people on this posting who must think I am not interested in their postings because they don't get a reply.  Its quite the opposite.  Its notorious here trying to get info sometimes.

JimGat,
Hi Jim,
Sorry to keep you waiting so long, but now have the translation. Had to pass it onto a friend who is 70 years old, because some of it was unreadable and also it was written in  old italian.  That is the style of the letters.  I know he took his time, but its done now and I have thanked him.
Its is about 98% perfect as there were certain words and or small phrases that were unreadable.  The outcome is all the essential info you need is there.
Please send me a PM with your e-mail.

To who ever reading this Italian Research.

Translation has gone off to Jim and by e-mail he is sending me a couple of certificates to translate.

I not only try and research here in Italy, but can translate certificates etc.  So if its not research, but certificate etc translations in your Italian research send them to me and job done.  I see no reason to pay someone when I am here free of charge.

Hi Steve, did you get any response from the Maria Messana request from reply #209? I understand getting replies can be difficult, just checking in

rlw254,
Shoot me, kill me,  , but accept my sincere apologies for not getting back to you earlier.
Wrote as promised to the various institutions and followed them up several times, but never got a reply from any 
Unfortunately if you look at some postings on here they have  ended up the same way.  I know it is easy just to  reply and say no we have nothing or look at etc.  Frustrating yes! After 30 years here I just go with the flow.
