[TI] Descriptsion of Cathedral Archives.

Thu Jun 12 21:39:23 CDT 2008

The Municipio clerks have no problem reading them. They are fast. they have to for anyone applying for a marriage license
 they read the street address on my grandfather's baptism with ease. The writing was so terrible that we could only guess.Gloria

How many on the list are able to read the original birth, marriage and death certificates?
Have films at the LDS Center cannot even translate the dates, When I see a document with Badali, take a copy and file it in a binder
Then I wait for the Film No to be posted to the list and go from there. Have even asked people that were born and went to school in Termini that are unable to read them.

Thanks to all the translators and Laura for the many hours days and years they have spent helping us to put our family tree together.

What's incredible is that Laura is doing this with 3 other people and 
everyone that said they would help dropped out and I see at least 2 or more 
years left to go to gather all the documents.  The translating people are 15 
films behind what I have gathered.  It's taking a long time to process every 
thing.  From gathering to translating to getting it on the database.  I 
think that's right.
