Military Record

Post by TerryM »

Is there a way to search for an Italian military record from about 1905? It would be in the province of Potenza for Pasquale Marasco living in Brienza. Thank you!

You will need to write a letter in Italian to the state archives for this. You could email them which would be quicker: as-pz@beniculturali.it You should hear back within a few days.

Their postal address is:
Archivio di Stato
via N. Sauro, n.1
85100 Potenza
Italy
Attn: Veronica Miceli

Not sure whether you have these:

Could someone please post the appropriate letter requesting military records here please. Thank you.

Thank you Angela and Marty! That was so quick! And all filled in with the parents' names and his birth year too. You looked it all up for me. I could never have written a letter that would have made any sense.

Here is the response from the Potenza office. Will they take a credit card or PayPal? I do not know how to send Euros from the United States.

Il costo per la spedizione della copia del suddetto atto ammonta ad euro 4,00. Il corrispettivo di tale somma dovrà pervenire al seguente indirizzo: Archivio di Stato- via N. Sauro, n.1 85100 Potenza.

I personally have only sent money to Italy twice now and each time I have taken the risk and sent the cash and concealed it. I remember looking at all my options, prior to the first time I sent money, and it seemed at the time that it was going to be much cheaper and less complex to risk sending the 4,00 euro in cash. I watched the exchange rate and then bought a little more money than I needed so it would be there for the next three or four times that I needed it.
I think it took about six weeks or so to receive the documents.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Angela. That sounds like a good idea. I'm thinking I might send a 5 Euro bill rather than 4 Euro coins because it would be lighter to ship and easier to conceal.
