I don't know about that, back when I went to school studying a 2nd language wasn't required and I had a hard enough time with english. Heck I can barely understand my grandmother's Italian and I've had 50 years to learn it. Tomas Leal is over there now and has offered to help locate any records for me but hasn't gotten anything yet. So we'll see, I think by concentrating on a small part at a time it will help me keep from getting so confused, from my grt grt grandmothers Baptism record did give me 2 different grandparents names from what was listed on the Neps website so I'm not sure now how accurate it all is....
