Translate a Record
Hello,
I have attached two death records of Premeno. Would anyone translate both? It will help me do the remainder. Thanks!

Here is a template from FamilySearch.
The first is death of Margherita Mosini, age 68, peasant farmer, who died 28 Mar 1896 at 3am. Born in Pollino di Ghiffa, daughter of deceased Girolamo and deceased Rosalia Polli, married to Battista Perelli Puradini(?)
The second is Antonio Perelli Pelati, age 18, peasant farmer, who died 5 Apr 1896 at 4pm. Born in Premeno, son of Pietro Perelli Pelati and Giuditta Perelli Bartolamei.

Hi Cousin Vinny,
Thank you so much. I posted one more elsewhere. I am reposting it. I tried to translate it but the cursive and the language barrier are too much. I cannot find the age and if he was married. If you would, I will close the other discussion.

It says in the margin "celibe, di anni 3" and it also says "d'eta di anni tre, di professione nessuna, celibe" in the record after his name.

Hi Cousin Vinny,
Thank you. I have one final question. My lineages go to Premeno and Mercallo. I have been asking around about getting them on Family Search. They are tiny towns today and very tiny long ago. The towns around them are tiny like Commabio and Oneida near Mercallo or Bee, Ghiffa, and Intra near Premeno. In Napoleon Census for Premeno years 1866-1889 there were 300 people. All had be it surnames or their parents one of my four names. It would seem a one week project for an expert indexer or at least to get the records added would be nice. Do you have any knowledge?

You mean getting the records indexed? You have to wait for a project to be created for the province. They don't index just one town at a time, they index a chunk of records that are part of a given state archive's collection.
This is the list of current projects. You could try posting in the Indexing Support group and asking if a project for the Verbania provincial archive could be set up.

Hi Cousin Vinny,
No. Right now, I only wish images could be taken. I would not expect indexing to happen for there is so much of that to do. Does this change your answer?

Premeno is in FamilySearch but with viewing restrictions. Should be the same holdings as available in Antenati.
Mercallo records are available in Ancestry but not FamilySearch. FamilySearch doesn't have anything from the State Archives of Varese at this point.
These are all post-1865 records. No civil registration there before 1866 except maybe during the Napoleonic period between 1799 and 1815.

Hi Cousin Vinny,
I already knew about the civil registration. I refer to getting the church records online as images. I have written the State Archive of Varese and the State Archive of Verbania for the church records but I have never received a reply.

State Archives don't have custody of church records. They are maintained either by individual churches or church diocesan archives. You can search the Italian Catholic Church website to find contact information for individual churches.
However, churches are under no obligation to respond to requests for records.

Hi Cousin Vinny,
Glad to know they are not in the state archives. I have already written both of the churches. I got no response from either. This is why I asked is there any way Family Search can image the church records. Let me repeat: image not index. Thanks.
