Re: Birth Certificate

Oh! Thank you. Does that mean she had Ignazio out of wedlock? That Giuseppe and Grazia were not married?

Re: Birth Certificate

Ah thank you :) Does the part immediately after the name of his mother say anything of note? Before the witnesses? I've uploaded a new version of the image with the section of the house and the mother's name enlarged a lot. It's awfully blurry and hard to read. I tried to sharpen it a bit. Its: http...

Re: Research - Need Advice

Wow, nice find VJ! We hadn't seen that manifest before and that sure looks likely to be them. I wonder why she's travelling to meet her father rather than her husband.

Thanks so much!

Re: Research - Need Advice

Oh! One more piece of help ... Nuccia posted for me the image of Ignazio's WWI draft card. Can anyone tell what his wife's name is? http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7921/imagexgq8.jpg It looks like Auteria or Guteria or something to me, but I'm too unfamiliar with female Italian names to know if t...

Birth Certificate

Hi, I've found the birth certificate of one of my ancestors thru the LDS films. It's posted on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1419610392&size=l Most of it follows the basic format that I learned for Atti di Nascita so I understand the majority of it. But there's a bit that I ...

Re: Research - Need Advice

Thanks for the good wishes! In some other news, I was very excited today to receive from the social security administration the original application for Ignazio Sammartino, whose draft cards and Ellis Island manifests we located at the beginning of the thread. This had his birthplace confirmed as Ro...

Re: Research - Need Advice

Thanks Nuccia. That looks very helpful! No, I'm not especially close Littleapple, I'm in California. It'll be the first time anyone in my family has travelled back to Italy at least in the last three generations. So everyone is very excited that I'm going. I hope to learn enough that I can visit pla...

Re: Research - Need Advice

Thanks Suanj, that's what I thought too, but my mother insisted that whole thing about MANGUSO! Littleapple, I'm a newbie to this ... but when I did a search for all the available Roccapalumba records thru LDS, there was a set from the Ufficio dello stato civile and a set from the Registri ecclesias...

Re: Research - Need Advice

They are both MANCUSO/MANGUSO? Grazia's parents: Father: Antonino Mancuso Mother: Crocifissa Jacono Calogero's Parents: Father: Francisco Mancuso (or mebbe Manguso) Mother: Francesca Maggio Does that look right? Do both birth records show them being born in Valledolmo? If I was going to try to track...

And here is the first portion of Grazia's Atto di Nascita, zoomed in a bunch. I adjusted the contrast and zoomed. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1382591204&size=l And the witnesses section is this next link: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1382651416&size=l And the right han...
