Re: Lucchesi Family

T is "absolutely" one of the best here (and is an all-time "fave" of mine), but the OP needs to indicate the comune of Lucca, if at all possible. The helpers here are (often) only as good as the initial info provided them. As a general rule, the more you offer the better the resu...

Re: 1827 Death Record - Pietro Magazu

.... mmogno, you attached a link to the 1827 Saponara INDICE from the Antenati site. I use the site quite often myself, but I don't understand why I don't have the same link (access to the INDEX)? See below... As you can see, the year 1827 (Morti) is split up into two sections, BOTH OF WHICH do not...

Re: 1827 Death Record - Pietro Magazu

Hi, Angela and mmogno. Thanks for your feedback here. Interesting on the "Floria" dialog. It's not a name I've regularly come across, yet I otherwise have several "Flavia's" in my Ancestry tree (Venuto, Ruggeri, Giordano, Salvo, etc.). I will keep this under (keen) advisement! :-...

1827 Death Record - Pietro Magazu

Hello, Forum- Just wondering if anyone can tell me if they think the surname of the decedent's mother is "Pisa" or Pino"? The latter surname is far, far more prevalent in Saponara, although I seem to recall having seen "Pisa" before - if only on a rare occasion... or maybe I...

Re: Visiting comuni in Messina

Someone recently posted to this subject, but it appears the post was in the data that was, unfortunately, recently lost (Aug 14- Sept 6). I returned from Italy/Sicily towards the end of August and last week tried to respond several times to the post, but each time I could not log in. I had no idea t...

Re: Marriage and baptismal record - help please.

@joeylucas You're in very good hands here with Pippo, for sure, but interesting to me that you're probably well familiar with the Fratellanza Racalmutese Italian Club on Murray St., in Hamilton. I went there myself when I visited in 2019. My story is a long one (and would probably not interest you i...

Re: Visiting comuni in Messina

Thanks for that added tidbit of info, cedrone... After chewing on some/all of this, I guess I need to fine-tune my approach (and questions) here. Based on my own long-existing research, I already have Atti di Nascita for all four (4) of my 2x great-grandparents (all four born in the 1830's). That is...

Re: Visiting comuni in Messina

Thanks very much for this, Erudita. I know I have precious little time to spend while there, but will try and digest it and see where it takes me.

[p.s. - I hope you're doing well!]

Visiting comuni in Messina

Hello, Forum- I'm traveling to Italy/Sicily in August. I will only have one (1!) day - actually, parts of two days - in Sicilia to try and make some connections at local cimiteri and (doubtful) Anigrafes, etc. I'll be in Sicilia the 3rd-4th week of August. I need recommendations as to what I can pos...

Margin notation translation - Rosalie Favale

Hello, Forum- It's been a while since I've posted here... Can someone translate the side entry in this record (No. 86) for me, please? It's a little fuzzy, but I nevertheless hope someone here can fill in the blanks for me. I do see/recognize the 1894 and 1831(1821?) dates... https://www.familysearc...

Re: Birth Day Translation__1880 Rosalia

Yeah, this is a really neat fact to know about these records. Can't say I've ever noticed the usage of a box to make a correction at the end of the record. I imagine it's not commonplace, but still... I'm curious, Livio: Any idea how long was this sort of reference was utilized? Do you have a feelin...
