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
