[Opinions] Re: Kunigunda and Serafia
in reply to a message by Felie
Well, my grandparents have helped me a lot. They know about their parents and great-parents and their birthdays and -places, and based on their knowledge I've been able to search more information. The National Archives of Finland have many documents (such as parish registers) digitized and available online: they have been very helpful, though it's sometimes quite a struggle to understand old scripts written in Swedish (which was the only official language here before the 1860's). I don't know if the national archives in Italy have a similar system: if not, ask your relatives if they've kept anything related to your ancestors. For example, I found Cecilia Kunigunda from an obituary put between the pages of an old family Bible!
