Hi, everyone, please bear with me for a bit. I've finally found my FILIPPINI surame ancestors of Cevio,Ticino..Am back to 1672 in FHC film # 1751156. Now the following are the many different ways the Catholic Priests wrote it,>1672 PHILIPPINE>1701PHILIPPUS>1713 PHILIPPY>1713 FILIPPINE>1722 PHILIPPEN>1723 PHILIPPINI>1723 PHILIPPINY>1755 PHILIPPI>1788 CARLUS PHILIPPINI >1790 PHILLPPINE>1800 FILIPPUS>1832 BAPTISTTA CLEMENS FILIPPINI < THIS IS the Father of my CARLO Filippini>[g-gdfather b: 9, November 1847]. The film is of the orginal church documents and are badly water stained and in a dialect that i can't read and the FHC hasn't a way to zerox them as yet. Now can someone please tell me am I looking for Switz backgrounds or Italian? TIA folks.. Linda lindamock@webtv.net
