In all areas with many differences: - sciàtiri e matìri; - sciàtri e màtri; followed (but not ever) by: - e vogghiu diri (and would I say); - e viddicu di vecchia (and umbilic of an old women). - e ddiavuluni (and big devil). The meaning is very uncertain. - From greek: sciatara=Salvatore (attribute of God) and matara=mother (of God). - From arabian: «sàteru yà ma taràà» («God! Great God compassionate!») or «satiru yà ma tara» («what clever you see!»). - From latin bat the meaning is too complex (for write it in english). Is is possible that expression whit same significate have not the same origin (in various areas). -- Ciao. Sergio®

<< Can anyone recommend a good Italian dictionary useful for translating these old records we look at? >> The best is Grande Dizionario della Lingua Italiana edited by Salvatore Battaglia. It's the best all-round source for looking up archaic words. It's a shelf full of volumes, found in large libraries. After this either Garzante or Zingarelli's Dictionary are excellent references. The Italian version is preferred, again because of archaic usage. Used copies are available on bibliofind.com or bookfinder.com. Italian-English dictionaries - I have Collins, but Garzante is also good. In addition for really obscure words there are regional and dialect dictionaries and glossaries. I have found Dizionario Etimologico Italiano by Carlo Battisti and Giovanni Alessio helpful.

Can anyone recommend a good Italian dictionary useful for translating these old records we look at? Thanks, Andrea

OK, sounds reasonable. Is this regular Sicilian or dialect? Would this expression have been used in any particular region of Sicily or everywhere?

Mis tios paternales emigraron en Argentina en el 1897 y 1911. Soy a la busqueda de sus descendientes todavia vivientes. Sus nombres fueron: Cabanelli Francesco, Cabanelli Giuseppe,Cabanelli Jone, Cabanelli Ricardo y Cabanelli Virginia. Agradezco a quienquiera pueda proveerme noticias utiles a su hallazgo.

Bonsoir Je pense qu'il faut éliminer en italien Flaujiana et Flaijiana. Si vous connaissez le date de naissance et si ces dates sont après 1866 vous pouvez vous adresser à la mairie de Susa voir le site http://www.comuni.it pour trouver l'adresse de la mairie et si vous rechercher l'adresse de la paroisse car avant 1866 il faut voir la paroisse pour les actes de naissances de mariage etc voir le site http://www.chiesacatolica.it ou http://www.parocchia.it Cordialement Lucette "Schonek" <schonek@wanadoo.fr> a écrit dans le message de news: a7flc6$hkt$1@wanadoo.fr... > I am not sure of the name of my great grand mother - The name is baddly > written and may be modified by the french officer who wrote the name... > > It is somethink like "Flaugiana" or "Flauviana" or "Flaujiana" or > "Flaijiana". > She was coming from Susa. > > Any idea or help ?

NOVO 280 in Italy at this time - mostly found in Piemonte with 10 in the Province of Torino. Reference: http://gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/ http://elenco.iol.it/elencotel/public/RicercaOmonimie.jsp You can also use the Italian Online Phone Directory to look up current Novo listings, addresses and telephone numbers. Infosearch even has email listings. The only way to find out for sure where your ancestors came from is to trace backwards. Starting with yourself - go backwards gathering record by record, you to your parents, to grandparents, etc and finally to the town where the original immigrant was born because the most important step in doing your initial research is to find out exactly what comune in Italy your ancestors came from.
