Italian Military Record Advice

I would like to try to get the military records for Alfio Caruso born 1882 in Pedara. When I found his liste di estrazione on Family Search a while back there was a matricola number for him. I looked at the website for the State Archive in Catania. There are ruoli matricolari pdfs for a few years to...

Re: Rocco Simone's occupation

Thanks Angela. Yes a street seller makes sense. I think the fact that he died at work got me me thinking about factory workers. Sorry for the image trouble. I will link to the original image next time.

Rocco Simone's occupation

I'd like a second set of eyes to look over his occupation and where he died. It looks like maccaronaro and that he died at the maccaroneria di Primipe? Was he a pasta maker? I tried to check on a few lists of old occupations but could not find that word. When I Google "maccaroneria" I get ...

Pierri child's name help

What is the child's name? Grasmo? Erasmo? Could the S be an L? It doesn't seem correct. I've been searching through common name lists and not having any luck. http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/v/Archivio+di+Stato+di+Potenza/Stato+civile+della+restaurazione/Rionero/Nati/1827/007694891_01610.jp...

Margin Notation Translation

I hit the jackpot when I requested an emailed copy of the birth record of my great grandmother from the town of Avola. There was so much more information than what was on the one from Family Search. The first note references her marriage to Giuseppe Romano in Siracusa on Feb 27, 1920. The second not...

Re: Help with Writing to the Town of Avola

Livio, I didn't see it at first either but someone made out part of it as 11/25/1922 "...fu riconosciuta dalla madre Scata ..." - "...was recognized by her mother Scata ...". I wish I could remember who told me but this was from around the time there was crash and a portion of th...
