Grandfather info

[bgiagunto]

Hi, I was on here about seven years ago looking for information on my grandfather and wanted to continue my search. His name is Pietro Giaquinto born 1895. I believe he came to the US in 1917. Looking for where he was from In Italy and maybe info on his parents. Thank you in advance

Hi there!

I looked at the other thread and yes it seems your Grandfather was born in San Giovanni in Fiore in the province of Cosenza. It doesn't appear that the records for this comune are online so you would have to contact either the state archives in Cosenza or the comune in San Giovanni to gather this information. The email address for the state archives is: as-cs@beniculturali.it

Good luck with your search!!

I will do that. Thank you

In searching Italian civil records you have birth(nati) death(morte) marriage (matrimoni) by year most go from 1866-1910 some towns have other years. Indexes are found at the beginning or end of the year you are searching by index number and surname.There are also multi year indexes which combine 5 or 10 years of indexes.
So most of the time just look in the index for the name you are are searching for in that year you are searching then find the index number and go back and find the record with that number on it.
Sometimes there are no indexes at all then its page by page search by year but just because one year has no index doesn’t mean all years don’t have a index
Births have 3 records per image most of the time marriages have 2 records per image deaths have 4 images per image sometimes records are single pages depends how they were photographed by the FHL Family History Library
Babies are born then presented to the civil official of the town usually within a few days of birth for entry in the birth registry that’s why the difference in dates on the record If there is a problem and they cant register the birth act until much later they are entered in the Parte 2 for that year usually in the rear of the records and that record is usually handwritten. Sometimes there are sidenotes with marriage or death information or if the act has a mistake in it a correction to those mistakes
Marriage records include birth town, ages, occupations, parents names and if they are deceased which is very helpful in record searching
Death records have the age of deceased also the parents names and if they were married and to whom and usually town of birth usually not the cause of death
Civil records are signed by the civil official and 2 witnesses not usually family members
The indexes for the churches in Italy of baptism and marriage and death are arranged by first name first (later years last name first) by year and date of the act and page and record number. Just find your person in the index and go back to the records to find the act you
