QUESTION

[jcsm400]

Hi everyone,

After trying 3X to get marriage act for great, grandparents, I finally got a marriage certificate!

My question is.....Should I just resend to the civil office requesting the act or an extract of the act or should I send it to the mayor?

I had also requested all the marriage process papers. Can I get these?

Any suggestions/comments?

Thanks,

Joyce

Joyce,
all the requests about civil records can be addressed to the man in charge of civil record office (Ufficiale dello Stato Civile), no to the Mayor.
If you send it to the Mayor, he is going to send it to Ufficiale dello Stato civile. So burocracy become longer
You can also request a photocopy of the marriage preocess papers (pubblicazione di matrimonio)

Hi Riccardo,

Thanks for the reply. Ok, I won't send it to the mayor....takes long enough (3 months) going directly to the civil records office!

Just don't understand why I got just the marriage certificate when the request was for the marriage act and the publications (photocopies or extracts).

They say perseverance pays off, so will try again & send it to the man in charge!

You may find marriage application even to the Archivio di Stato.
What town did your ancestors get married?

Sorry, Riccardo. I don't know how i missed your last question, but since I haven't done anything more on this.....The town is San Vitaliano, Napoli, Italy.

I'll try the archive.

Thanks,

Joyce
