Re: Marriage days and signature query
Thanks again Erudita for your time and research. I am not sure what parish records exist in Rapone but I will try to find out. I will also check if signatures match on other documents. I note that some signatures are written in almost childlike form (which supports the view that the person at least ...

Re: Marriage days and signature query
Thanks again Erudita for taking the time to explain things. Now I understand how it worked. I also have noticed that many of my relative's signatures have appeared at the bottom of documents even though they could not write or read. Is that their signature? or did someone sign on their behalf? Kind ...

Re: Marriage days and signature query
Thanks Erudita so much. This is fascinating to me. So does this mean that there was no church marriage?? It sounds so weird that in those very religious times (around the turn of the century) that a marriage would be signed off in the municipal hall and that was it.
Kind regards
Nick

Re: Marriage days and signature query
<t>Thanks Erudita and PippoM. I have attached an example. My great grandmother was apparently registered as being married on 24 April 1895 (4pm on a Wednesday). If this is just a civil recording then where can I find out the actual date that they were married??? I don't think that it is mentioned on...

Marriage days and signature query
Hi all Just noticed from wedding registration records (1895-1920) from my dad's town (Rapone, Basilicata) that relatives were sometimes getting married on other days apart from Saturdays (like Monday, Wednesday, Thursday). Was this a common occurrence during those years? What would the reason be? Al...

Re: 1950 US census query
Thanks Angela!!
It does look like tavern. And I just realised that 'manufacturers'
was referring to the industry the next person on the census worked in:
'Electrical equipment manufacturers'.
Many thanks,
Nick

Help finding relative's year of death
Hi all I am hoping that there is someone who can help locate the grave of a distant relative of mine who lived and passed away in Turin, Italy. I have been unsuccessful in getting through on the website (possibly as I am in Australia): http://www.cimiteritorino.it/i-servizi-on-line/ricerca-defunto/ ...

Re: translating 1847 Royal decree
Thanks so much PippoM for the great information!!
It's nice to see evidence of a good 'community spirit' existing amongst
the people at that time. We always hear about how the wealthy mistreated
the have-nots but, in this case, a very good deed was done.

Nick
