Mom kept almost everything. Funeral cards, birth certificates and baptismal records. In addition to those records, Mom tried to put together our history mostly by rote. This has been an invaluable starting point on a long and continuing journey to fill in blanks left as long as 166 years ago. So the quest began with the oldest record I had, my Great-Grandmother's birth record in Italian.
So what do I know from this document. My Great-Grandmother's name is Salvatora Scolaro and she is the daughter of Francesco and Loreta Azzorello (names aren't always accurate or legible on documents) born on 20 February 1876. The town where this document was recorded was Termini Imerse, Sicily.
