Hi: Salmatari not exist in italian language, not in currently, not in the past. Probable exact reading handwriting is "salinatari" (sal + in+atari=reading "in=m"). Salinataro/i means : "assigned to sal production" in the sense " salt job"..especially in the Italy south this trade was diffused, is for the sal's mines , is for marine's sal.. hoping my english is comprehensible..regards, Raffaella "Paul Monda" <[email protected]> ha scritto nel messaggio news:[email protected] > A birth record from 1849 shows an occupation that appears to be "salmatari". > Because of the handwriting I am unsure of the first letter.
