Hi Randy, for your search:sumner wrote:I would be interested in a number of records led by Francesco's baptism information. Since he did not marry until he was in America I will not need those records for him.
But my main focus in Boretto now shifts from Francesco to his parents. I would be very interested in marriage information of Giovanni and Antonia. And since we believe that Antonia probably died between 1881 and 1886, I'd be curious whether or not Giovanni married Maria (Mary) in Boretto parish between those years.
I would also like to try and find baptism records for Giovanni and Antonia. Based on Francesco's birth certificate, MINGORI Giovanni would have been born in either 1835 or 1836. DOSI Antonia likely would have been born in 1842 or 1843.
Hi Randy:sumner wrote:I have e-mailed Monica Ciapparelli of the Comune di Boretto with the request for the Certificato Storico di Famiglia di Mingori Giovanni di Carlo. She has been very helpful with my other requests so I hope to receive a prompt response.
The name Carlo really caught my attention. There was a Carlo Mingori who was two years older than Giovanni who settled in Iowa in America just a few miles away from where Giovanni was recorded in the 1895 Iowa Census. It is likely he was Giovanni's brother. I know where he died and was buried in Iowa. I even know of one of his descendants who has done some research on Carlo's life in America.
I am also going to try and locate the address of the church in Boretto. It is a small town with a large cathedral that is several centuries old. So I am assuming that it is where I will find my answers.
Grazie,
Randy
Hi Randy, great infos!!sumner wrote:I finally located Giovanni and his family in the 1900 US Federal Census in Kansas. And it offered some information that clears up many of my questions.
The Mary Mingori listed in US records as Giovanni's wife is Antonia Dosi. She apparently chose to be called Mary while living in the United States. Based on the census listing, they were married in 1866.
It also lists Giovanni's birthdate as October 1834 with Antonia born in March of 1842.
This information probably would have helped the Comuni Di Boretto in putting together the Certificato Storico di Famiglia.
Would it be appropriate to e-mail this new information to the lady at the Common who is researching the record for me? If so, could you help me with the translation?
You have been a tremendous help, Raffaella. If you are ever in Texas you are always welcome to stay with my family. Grazie once again.

OGGETTO: Famiglia Mingori Giovanni
Con la presente si comunica quanto reperito dalla consultazione dei registri dello stato civile conservati presso l’archivio di stato civile di questo Comune:
MINGORI Giovanni ( altro nome Antonio) – di Carlo e Cantoni Antonia nato a Boretto il 28/10/1834 (l’atto è conservato presso l’archivio di stato civile del Comune di Brescello del cui territorio Boretto faceva parte in quel periodo)
coniugato il 17/04/1872 in Boretto con
DOSI Antonia ( o Maria Antonia )– di Francesco e Longhi Rosa nata a Boretto il 07/03/1842 (l’atto è conservato presso l’archivio di stato civile del Comune di Brescello del cui territorio Boretto faceva parte in quel periodo)
FIGLI:
Mingori Claudio (altri nomi Ettore Arnaldo) – nato a Boretto il 12/06/1875
Mingori Romilda ( altri nomi Roberta Rosa) nata a Boretto il 31/05/1978
Mingori Francesco ( altri nomi Alberto Sante) nata a Boretto il 11/04/1881
Per quanto riguarda lo stato di famiglia l’ufficio scrivente non è in grado di fornire alcuna notizia in merito in quanto l’archivio storico non è informatizzato e l’indicizzazione dei registri delle schede di famiglia è appena iniziata.
Con osservanza.

I was actually surprised that Giovanni wasn't married to another woman before Antonia. I had hoped to link Giovanni to some other Mingoris whose mother died in 1865 giving birth to a son named Isaac. Is it possible she might have stopped looking back when she found the marriage of Giovanni and Antonia? Giovanni was 37 years old when he married Antonia so there certainly was time for him to be married prior to Antonia.

Hi Randy, for my experience, I know that the informations of italian descendants in foreign Countries are different that in Italy, for many causes, but the italian documents are sure...sumner wrote:I have ordered some LDS microfilms for Boretto that might possibly answer these questions. Once again, I can't begin to tell you how much help you have been. Researching information in Italy is very different than here in the United States. I was lost before you came to my rescue.
Grazie.
