It appears Carmela had 2 brothers, Anthony and Teadoro and my gg grandmother Josephine. The birth certificates also appear as foundling records. I need to look through records again for Josephine.

thank you

Thank you for looking. Her "siblings" birth records were located, I think the problem with locating the birth record is that they were foundlings. When they travelled to U.S. they assumed the surname of Ricigliano. After the marriage of Angelina Ricigliano and Giuseppe DeCillis, in the U.S...

Would someone be so kind to translate the following record for Antonio Guerra?
Thank you in advance

Would someone be so kind to translate the record for Elisabetta Cagnazzi? thank you!

Hi Tessa, thank you- yes that is them in the 1892 census. In San Fele birth records, these children appear to be foundlings. My gg mother Josephine used Ricigliano and DeCillis as her surname.

Thank you, Erudita. It doesnt explain the relationship between Domenico and Luigi Grieco? Is this normal presentation for a wedding? I''m not sure if I am reading correctly, but Domenico offered his home for the marriage?

Hi,

I, hopefully, attached a marriage record that I am unable to translate. I would greatly appreciate help with the record of Calabrese/ Grieco marriage.

thank you!

I have mailed 2 requests for birth records, but haven't received a response. I also tried emailing the commune, but it comes back undeliverable. so frustrated... does anyone have any other suggestions? Can someone tell me if they had success receiving documents from San Fele?

Thank You

Thank you for your responses. I looked up available LDS microfilms and it seems they are not available for San Fele, Potenza for births around 1870. What remaining options do I have?
