Re: Foster Care and Adoption in late 19th century Italy

For anyone reading this thread....I searched the microfilm from Utah tonight and I was able to find the birth act of a foundling filed at the end of the list of births reported by married couples. So, there is hope ;-) Thanks to all for your help and suggestions.

Re: Need help with a surname

Sorry Louis....I completely missed the point of your question. I focused on the wrong surname. I'll let you know if I come up with anything useful. I assume you do not know Mario's parents names, if they came to the US, etc? You probably know if you manage to get the correct surname first you can go...

Re: Before going the National Archives route...

Oddly enough...I had the exact conversation this past weekend with the National Archives in Philly. However, there is one thing I would like to add to the topic that may or may not ever be helpful to anyone, but it is good to know anyway just in case. I went there because I had the Declaration of In...

Re: Foster Care and Adoption in late 19th century Italy

John...I will be searching the civil records. Thank you very much for the great heads up. At this point, I'm just hoping I'll be able to make sense out of 100 year old handwritten italian records :-) My personal suspicion is that he may have been "reclaimed" by a family member so your tip ...

Re: Foster Care and Adoption in late 19th century Italy

Hi Debbie, I did read that article and found it helpful. In fact, most everything I read adds a little more info to the mix. I've found this site and forum to be full of information as people ask questions and others respond to those questions. I've even tried to help out a couple of times where I c...

Re: MILITARY ROCORDS - REGISTER DI LEVA

The Lista di Leva is supposed to be an excellent source for that information. However, tell us what else you have tried so that readers can better help you. ;-)

Re: HAVE DATE OF ARRIVAL AND SHIP BUT CAN'T FIND MANIFE

Cheryl, I had a similar situation where I had a date, port and ship, but still could not find the name via a search. So instead I opened the manifest and went page by page reading each name (most don't have that many pages). With the opportunity for errors both at the time of the original recording ...

Foster Care and Adoption in late 19th century Italy

Does anyone know how likely it was that another family member would take in a child born in 1886 to an unwed sister after the child was in foster care for a short time? Any idea whether this illegitimate child would have been given his mother's surname? We are doing research on a male relative we be...
