just a bit: as the officer can find the death act if you don't give almost the max probable death year? they cannot find it.... so I believe that is no helpful for you to send this letter... better to find some detail abt probable death year... just a suggestion... regards, suanj

[debkellar]

Buon giorno Suan,

I'm not quite sure what you meant about the date of death. Are you suggesting I don't put the year of death in the letter or I shouldn't send the letter?

Grazie mille!

Debbie

I believe that Suanj is suggesting that you write in your letter also the death year, otherwise it will be very difficult for the officer will find he death act.

[debkellar]

Grazie Livio and Suanj!

You both have been very (molto gentile) kind and I appreciate your assistance with this letter.

Debbie

[suanj]

grazie livio. in effects as to ask a death act, without the death's year almost? it is only a suggestion...............................

[debkellar]

Boun giorno Suanj, I've revised my letter as you suggested. Would you look over one more time to make sure I did as you suggested? Should I include any other money besides the international reply coupons? I've never sent a letter like this before and I want to make sure I am respectful of their time. Grazie! Debbie

it is necessary to write almost the death year( max probable) and the death place... so ferrara as death place, and the death year? you know? they cannot make this search without this basic info, kisses, raffaella

[debkellar]

I may be having a problem translating my ancestors information I am requesting. I am just learning a little Italian so bear with me. She died on 21 July 1837. Is that what I am saying below? I'm not sure what you meant by max death date? Grazie, from just confused.

Tassinari Rosina nata il 21 luglio 1837 a Ferrara e coniugata a Finotti Francesco Maria. (Rosina Tassinari died on 21 July 1837 in Ferrara and spouse of Francesco Maria Finotti)

May be I'm incorrect but usually the entry in the register is made on the birthdate,then all variations are just added up,residence status, marriage with dates,relocations to other shires,death.So you better say:

[suanj]

I don't understand.. i'm in confusion....the july 21, 1837 this Rosina is born or died?

You are incorrect. There are death, marriage and birth registers kept. The poster wants a death record, so that is what they need to request as Suanj helped with the letter.

On the birth record there MAY be a notation added as to marriage and death. This is most likely to occur when the marriage or death occured in a different town from the town of birth. The presence of notations on records depends on the official who recorded the events, some were better at adding notations than others.

You are right but before computers nearly all life events were copied on the main personal entry for the individual at the "Ufficio di Stato Civile".
Because Debbie is looking for a death certificate - if she does not know the date and place of it - her best chance is to have it checked against birth dates. From her letter i gather only reference to birth, not death dates.
It might work.
