[TI] Translation Questions

[Laura Johnson]

1.  Italian Document Translations
        http://www.termini-imerese.org/ItDocTranslations.htm
2.  Mayors of Termini - I haven't started keeping track of them yet but 
I will add it to the list of things to do (when I get some time LOL)  I 
have started a list of the priests that are mentioned in the baptismal 
documents
3.  There are many sites that have translations of the professions.  If 
someone would like to make a listing of them for me, I would be glad to 
make a page on the website for them
4.  There really isn't any standardized wording.  I have seen many 
things included such as the relationship to the person reporting the 
birth/death, previous spouse information, whether they single or 
widowed, etc
