The Il Progresso italo-americano was an Italian-language daily newspaper originating out of New York (up until 1988, although I'm primarily interested in it from first half of the twentieth century). Has anyone ever used it for research? Did it carry obituaries?

Thanks,
Eric

When the films are on permament loan, they are taken out of circulation for all the other Family History Centers? I expected that the main library would provide a copy of the film to the library for permament loan and keep a master so that copies could be loaned to other Family History Centers. Make...

For several years, I've been using the Civil Registration records for Faenza Italy through my Family History Center. Now, suddenly, they no longer appear in the Family History Library catalog! Wehn I contacted the library, the person I corresponded with claimed that Civil Registration records weren'...

I'm just learning how this image uploading thing works. Here's the death certificate of Ercole Biancani.

Thanks. I received this response: Nel ns. Archivio sono presenti due documenti di E. Biancani e niente di Vincenzo Biancani; comunque non è sicuro che E. stia per Ercole. A questo scopo allego al messaggio le copie digitali dei documenti, così che potra verificare se siano utili. Distinti saluti I...

Suggestions are welcome, but I think I only need help with the bracketed parts. Thanks so much: Mi chiamo Eric Jones ed abito negli Stati Uniti. Sono alla ricerca della mis storia familiare. Cerco informazioni riguardo ai mio antenato Ercole Biancani e suo padre Vincenzo Biancani. [Through Google Bo...

Thanks everyone! I did have the New York Times article (I have a couple of others as well), and I've been trying to get my hands on Angelini's Gli "accoltellatori" a Ravenna (1865-1875). That's interesting that it says the trial ended 10 March 1875. I have a couple of other books that are ...

I don't know what anyone's level of interest in this is, but I was able to borrow the Milandri and Agnoli books from Harvard. Harvard also has a copy of the transcript of the 1874 trial of the Accoltellatori (which I was only able to skim). My GGGGrandfather Ercole Biancani was not part of the 1874 ...

Thanks so much.

I would be happy to move this thread to the more appropriate forum, but I'm not sure how to do it. I'm afraid it was late when I posted, and I wasn't thinking clearly.

There are a couple of organizations dedicated to the Risorgimento to which I want to write to see if they have any information about my GGGGrandfather Ercole Biancani. If someone could assist me in translating the parts in English into Italian, I would be very grateful (corrections to the parts I at...

If anyone has a copy of one of the following books and look up to see if the name surname Biancani (poss. Bianconi) appears in the index, I would be most appreciative: Romagna 1849-1874 : leggende, fatti e misfatti by Attilio Milandri Gli "accoltellatori" a Ravenna (1865-1875) : un process...

I posted the following the History folder: I have a news article from The (London) Times, 4 Oct 1849, which says "On the 23d, one Biancani, lately in the service of Garibaldi, was shot at Bologna." I'm a descendant of Luigi Biancani, born in Ravenna, 8 Dec 1869. Luigi's father was Vincenzo...

I'm working with the LDs microfilm for Ravenna & Faenza. I understand (or thought I understood) that Allegati are the supplemental documents that were provided in conjunction to a marriage. However, the LDS microfilm for my areas have things like Allegati (matrimoni), Allegati (nati), Allegati (...

I have an article from the 8 January 1875 Milwaukee Daily Sentinel that quotes an item from British Pall Mall Gazette (text below). It basically indicates that a Biancani from Ravenna was sentenced to hard labor for certain nafarious activities. I'm descended from Ravenna Biancanis, so I'd like to f...
