Translation Requests

JStenbeck

Hi, I am lucky to find someone to help me digitize churches but I still need help translating some records. I can't find a way to attach pictures so I will first post discussion and then hopefully I can do so. I still can't find a way. Please explain how to attach pictures. Thanks!

I ended up ICloud drive. It was late when I wrote that. I have a contact helping me digitize entire church records. I am backed up. Let me know if 14 records per link is too much. Thank you!

@Cousin Vinny you seem like a superman in this group. There are probably other supermans. If my request is too much for this group, do you know of any AI free to the public to do this, does FamilySearch offer quick use of their AI (I do not have permission to upload the entire registries online but I can donate an index, and of any other website with good AI or not AI with extensive free translation assistance? I often understand entire records and sometimes Google Translator is enough but for both I should double check plus some I don't understand everything. Right now I am uploading records likely pertinent to my ancestry. Thanks.

AI is hard to get working with really old manuscript like these. And church records are especially finicky because they aren't standard.

FS doesn't accept indexed records that I know of unless maybe you've published it a book and then they might add it to the library, but the transcribed info wouldn't be added to the searchable records database.

So the first one (marriage between Cendale and Covino/a) - I don't know what the date is other than 1679, must be February based on the entry; there may be some relative date referencing going on and I would need to see the full page of records to get an understanding of how they are dating these as well as the "formula" they are using.

Francesco Cerdale son of deceased Gio. and Pauola daughter of Gio. Covino both of this place have contracted marriage … in this parish in the presence of me(?) the pastor and witnesses … three publications and a dispensation for 4th grade consanguinity in the [next page] form of the Sacred Council of Trent; publications on 22 Jan and 29 Jan and 5 Feb; witnesses Gio. Marlagna(?) and Domenico Terlago(?) …

Second item (there are two deaths, one for Gio. Romanga and then one for Gio. Gioachino) - 31 Jul 1758 - Gio. Romanga son of deceased Cristofaro(?) yesterday died age about 7(?), fell into a furnace pit(?), buried at no cost in this church. Gio. Gioachino son of Carlo Giuseppe Babarino yesterday died about 13 months of age, buried in the church

Third item (death of Maria Galletta) - 19 Aug 1718 - Maria Galletta wife of Carl'Antonio Marcetta … age about 33, received sacraments of penance, eucharist, and extreme unction, died, buried the next day.

That's it for now. There is a Genealogical Translations Facebook group where you can post these also but it's one request at a time and that request needs to be marked as completed before you post another.

I don't have Facebook but thanks. I have realized this community forums area is not made for this much translating so I am looking elsewhere and trying to further educated myself to need nobody. Thanks.
