Re: putting record data in context
Thank you for your reply. The words don't add to what I asked for though.
Why would a comune's citizen be described this way? What did it say about the person?
It isn't a description I've found in other records.
Doesn't mean it isn't there! Just that I haven't come across it!

putting record data in context
My research has always involved efforts to learn about much more than names and dates for the families I've studied. I'd appreciate having context for a word in a record I have. A 33 year old paternal GreatGreatUncle was a witness to an 1824 wedding held in the small comune of Scisciano outside Napl...

Re: Dr. Robert Bosso
Hello again Suanj, and welcome to the Board Eric! After thinking abit about the Hermann death notice, I checked my Missouri resources and found that Dr. Bosso's obituary was also printed in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper. I couldn't access the St. Louis Public Library site today(where obits a...

Re: Dr. Robert Bosso
Hi Tessa and Suanj, The newspaper from Hermann caught my eye, since my husband's family settled in this small town in the 1850s. I know the town very, very well! I was surprised to see it pop up on Italian Genealogy since it is a German town through and through! Even to this day :-) Then I became cu...

Re: Military records, Lista de leva
Thank you for your thoughts, adellagreca. If, as you write, male children when born in a particular comune were entered in records for military planning purposes, then as I pointed out in my post, brothers of the child-in-question should be in the records. They are not, or not all the known brothers...

Re: Help from someone in Italy
Hello Anizio and Ann, When (and if) I have a reply from my previously-hired researcher in Italy, I will let you know what I learn, Anizio. Ann, if you will reread my reply carefully, I believe you might clear your misunderstanding of what I wrote. I do not suggest "asking an ex-pat" to tra...

Military records, Lista de leva
Let's hope someone reading this can unscramble what is a most curious military record in the Salerno Archives. My great-uncle comes up in the lista de leva records on-line at http://www.archiviodistatosalerno.beniculturali.it/index.php?it/256/ricerca-nelle-liste-di-leva Years ago, I received both hi...

Re: Help from someone in Italy
Hello Anizio, I've been hoping (and asking) to find a qualified, reliable researcher to help with records in Naples I cannot access myself. Thus far, I haven't had replies. However, I did hire an ex-pat in the Potenza province to do the same for me and it was a godsend. You've made me think I'll ask...

Re: Born somewhere in Potenza
Hello Ms Blue, Since you know the State (Potenza) where your 2nd great-grandfather was born, and you believe his birthyear to be around 1860, plus you have his parents' names, I wonder if it would be helpful to request/search for his military registration record in the Archives in the State of Poten...

Re: Naming illegitimate children late 1800's
Hello Ms. Mary, We have an illegitimate birth in our tree, late 1800s in Italy, where a lot of digging in records finally linked the child to the bloodline mother/ancestor. The illegitimate child was given a strange 'name' that wasn't one in the family (and as we later learned was not the name of ou...

Re: birth records in early 1800s
Thanks,Ann,
Wonderful answer that "fits" with my reading and thoughts.
But so good to have additional confirmation from another researcher.
I appreciate your time,
Noel

birth records in early 1800s
To Board members: Some of the birth records I have are quite specific in noting the relationship of the parents, where the scribe has recorded: sua legittimo moglie for the child's mother. Other records merely note : moglie for the woman. Some of my found records only name the woman, without any oth...
