Re: Translation request. 2xGGF married 12 year old

Thanks! Yes, I should have been more specific about which handwriting I was referring to. It was the paragraph on the first page starting with "Metti sposi", which I believe is what @erudita74 reviewed for me. I think I was most surprised by the age difference between the groom and the bri...

Translation request. 2xGGF married 12 year old

Hello everyone, I recently discovered the marriage record for my 2x great-grandfather Luciano Mangani and his wife Giorgia Lio. (Although it appears her name on this record is written as Alio) The record lists her age as 12 and consent was given. There's some information written on the bottom that I...

Re: Need help obtaining father's certified birth certificate from Italy

Yes he is still living it just would be much easier if I could it myself. Of course, I will ask him if the Comune is hesitant to help me. 😊 Thank you

Searching for Italian passport records

Hello everyone, I'm looking for information about where to access passport applications / passport records for my great-grandfather, Paolo Sulfaro and his relatives. He lived in Giardini, Messina and visited America 3x (1906,1909 and 1912) before he was killed in WW1. I have all the ship manifests, ...

Re: Italian government paid for WW1 veterans to emigrate?

Thank you, that is very helpful! I'm sure that even if they moved to America, they wanted to go back for their visits, so they had no choice but to go to war to avoid future arrests.

I am still confused about why America would accept men from another country who were in military reserves.

Re: Italian government paid for WW1 veterans to emigrate?

Thanks Leyra. 😊 I actually have that info about Paolo. But I wish I knew whether he had been offered paid emigration to America in exchange for his military service. (How sad if this is why he went back, but then he was killed.)

Italian government paid for WW1 veterans to emigrate?

I wonder if someone with some historical knowledge can help me. My great-grandfather Paolo Sulfaro and his brother-in-law Rosario Sterrantino were working and living in the United States when WW1 broke out. They both returned to Italy and served in the war. Paolo was killed, whilst Rosario survived....

Re: Help Liste di Estrazione translation & meaning

Thank you mmongo! Since there isn't any more information about Antonino Sulfaro on this Liste di Estrazione does that mean he likely never served in the military? Or could there be another Liste di Estazione for him with more information? Also, if you would be so kind, can you help me understand wha...

Re: Bisnonno Giovanni Mangani Death Record

Thank you! Actually, earlier in the record is states: "avendo ricevuto dall'Ufficiale Stato Civile del Commune di Mineo copia di morte, transcrivo per intero la copia stessa.." and then the witnesses appear to be residents from Mineo. I figured that it's in Parte 2 of the Atti di Morte for...

Bisnonno Giovanni Mangani Death Record

Hello everyone, I have found a death record for my bisnonno Giovanni Mangani but am struggling to decipher the final lines. I am hoping that this information explains why he died. He was living in Ramacca but died in the nearby town of Mineo where I think he was working. Here is the link to the Fami...
