Hi,

Happy New Year! I came across a Ketubah in the Jewish National
Library's online database. It appears that the second witness to the
marriage in 1717 in Reggio Emilia in Italy was a man named Avraham
Berachia Rabi, son of Yehuda. However, the image is not the best
quality and it's tough to tell. If someone can help decipher it, it
would be a big help. It would potentially be the first evidence of my
mother's family name in Northern Italy beyond the fragmentary
documentary record in Turkey.
