Looking for birth and marriage records - Giuseppe Diegoli

Post by diegoli »

Hello!

For the past 6 months I've been looking for information about my great-great grandfather but with no luck. I don't know how but only now I was able to find this forum (and it's great btw!).

Anyway...I have very little information about when and where he was born. It gets even more complicated with the fact that his birth was around 1861. From what I researched, only churches had birth records at that time and they're probably lost now.

The only thing I know for sure is that he was born in Bologna (state, not town) so that makes it even worse. His father's name was Leonel Diegoli and mother's name was Estrolice Anna Maria. He was married to Luigia Ricci and came to Brazil in 1895.

Do you guys think it'd be better to contact a researcher? With so little information, would he be able to find his birth and marriage records?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to IG website
I think the best way is looking for their marriage record did they have any children?
What part of Brazil did they settle in?

Thanks!

He arrived in Santos on 14th of May, 1895 - with 5 children but none of them is my great grandfather. He was born here in Brazil in 1897.

I even have the records of their arrival but unfortunately they do not contain any more information other than their names and age.

Absolutely!
Their names are: Dolusa (9), Zaira(7), Ida(5), Prosperina (4) and Concetta (6 months). The numbers in parenthesis are their age when they arrived in Brazil (1895).

Thanks!

Sorry, I must've miswrote it. The problem is the only thing I know is that he's from the province of Bologna. I don't know what town he was born.

OMG!!! You guys are awesome!!!

So that means he was born in Finale, Modena - not in Bologna as we first thought!
AND you guys found the marriage certificate as well!!

Thank you so much! That makes our lives much easier now.

Do you guys know how I can get my hands on one official copy so I can apply for the citizenship? Do I need someone to get it locally?

Again, thank you so much for this!
