[PW] trying to locate Santalinta Italy

Tue Aug 7 17:01:40 PDT 2007

      There is a 302-page list of all the towns of Italy at
http://immigrants.byu.edu/downloads/Comuni_Italiani.pdf.   Santilina is not
listed there, so I agree another look at the name might be in order.

A look at the town's name on the certificate in question by someone
other than the first party may be in order. The lack of a saint by such
a name hints at the potential benefit of a different copyist.
