I Translated Parish Marriage record but doesn’t make much sense
Dear Friends (Mi amici):
Although I do not read nor write much Italian, I translated the following parish marriage record using Google Translate. Any help to comprehend the meaning would be most appreciated (especially at the beginning and the end). Thank you, in advance, for any assistance.... Grazie mille....
With thanks,
Harriet

Dear Cousin Vinny:
Thank you so much for your prompt reply to my query about my second-great-grandparents' parish marriage record, Innocenzo Bronte & Francesca Verrugia. 🙂
Like night and day, the difference between my humble translation and yours makes the document so much more understandable.
Please know how grateful I am, that you would take the time to help me understand the 1860 record.
Grazie mille,
Harriet

It's much more of an art than a science. Having a lot of experience with church records (in Latin and Italian) helps to get the flavor of it.
