Re: Note translation

Hello? Is it a bad time to ask? August vacation, I guess.

Re: Note translation

And I don't need a translation of this as it is fairly self explanatory, but my great grandfather got a gun permit in Messina in 1899. Why? Who knows. Although there is a rumor his father, who was a bank president, ran off with all the money. Did he? I don't know. But if so, maybe my great grandfath...

Note translation

Recently found a bunch of documents buried in a box in a closet... many with Giuseppe Lamberti Geraci letterhead. Several letters, but I'll start with something small: my great grandmother earning some sort of award in school in 1890? It's on really thick paper. And a small double-sided card.

Re: Piraino marriage records 1875ish?

Aha! After going through pubblicazione etc in both towns (which I have to be desperate to do as unindexed and [for me] mostly unreadable), and then running through death records *again* in Piraino between 1906 and 1932 and the same in Gioiosa Marea... well, still no records, lol. However, I returned...

Re: Piraino marriage records 1875ish?

Based on death records of her husband and a son in Piraino, she died somewhere between 1906 and 1932. Still no idea if she died in Piraino or Gioiosa Marea, although it looks like the family returned to Piraino. Haven't been able to find her death record... on all family records she is listed as Ros...

Piraino marriage records 1875ish?

I can't find the marriage record in Gioiosa Marea for Carmelo Dovico Lupo (sometimes Cusma Dovico Lupo) and Rosa Scaffidi. They had their first child in 1876, so I'd think they were married in 1875, maybe 1874... He was from Piraino and she might also have been. I don't know how old she is. I tried ...

Re: margin note on death record

Isn't this... odd? Year after year, child after child, they're reporting these names, and then 20 years later they decide to add a third surname, or more surprisingly change their mother's name altogether? In this family I'm finding a lot of records that are annotated to say 'change this, change tha...

Re: reporting births 10 years later?

I could have been more clear, I guess, about what I was surprised by. It was very late, I was tired. I had anticipated they were twins due to consecutive numbers (I just had a family with 2 sets of twins), but then as I noted they were being reported years later , one as much as a decade later. In f...

reporting births 10 years later?

I thought these two were going to be twins, but then they are actually reporting births from years earlier, one a decade earlier!
Weird.

Re: margin note on death record

ok, what about this one, there's a 'parterno' and 'cognome' annotation and something about 1899 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GBT4-F89?i=1135&wc=M6M4-MP8%3A244494301%2C245703301&cc=1946858 And this one, which seems related... https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S...

Re: margin note on death record

Sigh. Sometimes I ignore the annotations, and people are like, hey, wait, it says this important thing... and then on the occasions when I do try to pay attention, it usually turns out to be administrative fluff. That's twice this week, lol.

She's the widow of Giuseppe Natoli, but what is the annotation saying about Germania Salvatore Natoli?

Re: Giovanni Ferlazzo, born 1882... last seen 1907

Amazing. I had also thought maybe Maria Loreta Lombardo died in Gioiosa Marea in 1907 or 1908, but like you didn't find a death record. I see on his new marriage record he says he's 'celibe.' I guess it's possible the Lombardo marriage and the US didn't work out, and he thought why bother with paper...

Re: Anthony Ferlazzo, Brooklyn marriage allegedly 1920

Thanks! As far as I know, her mother is Giovanna Virgilio, so maybe it's a sister. So far that's 13 kids for Giuseppe Ferlazzo and Nunzia Costa. Four of the boys tried America with 50/50 results. Salvatore came to the US and stayed. Nicolo came to the US and stayed. Celestino came and went back.* Gi...

Re: Anthony Ferlazzo, Brooklyn marriage allegedly 1920

Anthony's birth record has helped me to confirm that Anthony's father Salvatore was my great grandfather's brother. I suspected as much because in that citizenship picture, Antonino basically has the same mouth and chin as my grandfather, his first cousin. I mean like it's practically cut-and-paste....
