Gianfrancesco from campobasso

[1cathy]

Hello,
I'm trying to find information about my great grandmother. Her name was Donata Gianfrancesco and she could have been from Campobasso. She was born around 1850 and married Francesco Santini. I would like to know names of parents and siblings if possible. I have looked everywhere and found nothing. Thank you.

Hi!
If Donata Gianfrancesco was from the comune of Campobasso you can write to the comune for vital records. If it is the province of Campobasso, you'll need to find out the exact comune.
Was her son Domenico Santini, born 7 Feb 1884 in Carovilli, Isernia Province?
If it was, have you ordered Domenico's birth record? It may give the exact birthplace of his parents.
Thank you, Valarie

if this is your Domenico, here are his Summit County Ohio naturalization papers for reference

Thank you very much for the information. Domenico was my grandfather. I wrote the letter asking for his birth certificate.

The birth certificate arrived for my grandfather, thanks again for helping. Instead of Gianfrancesco, the name of my great-grandmother is spelled Ianfrancesco. Can you tell me what Gian or Ian as a prefix means? Also it says on his birth certificate ai sendi dell'art.3 del D.P.R del 2/5/1957 n. 432 ( 1957 could be the year of his death, so was it recorded back in Italy when he died in US?) There is no date of birth for my grandfather's mother. Is there anything else I can do at this point? And can you translate ai sendi dell'art del D.P.R for me? Thanks

D.P.R. Decreto Presidente della Repubblica = decree of republic president.
Can you post the birth record you recieved is it a extract or original birth act

I tried to attach birth certificate. It wouldn't work.
