Hi Everyone I'm researching the following families: Abolafio/Abolaffio : Venezia from1767, Egypt, Australia Pipito: Venezia Rava': Venezia Mendes: Venezia Sacerdote: Venezia Loris: Venezia Reghedini: Venezia Formenton: ?Venezia, ?Corfu, Egypt (from 1890) Costa: Forgaria nel Friuli, Egypt, Australia Happy to share information - most research done pre internet and by writing many letters. Would love some advice re tracking the Formentons. Having difficulty in locating birth certificate for Theano Formenton, grandmother (in law :-)) who was born in Egypt to Italian parents who are believed to have lived in Corfu prior to living in Egypt. No record of her birth in Venezia, Corfu or Egypt. Her death was registered in Venezia and I have death cert. Her parents were Penelope Pipito and Enrico Formenton. Enrico Formenton was murdered in Egypt, I don't have his death cert. ciao Chris In Western Australia
