Need help finding a Marriage record. Saverio Dunia and Roso Russo

Post by Dunio1962! »

Would I be able to get assistance in finding the Marriage record of my G G Grandparents. Saverio Dunia (Donia) and Roso Russo . Saverio was born 14 July 1851 in Oppido ,Reggio Calabria. I have not found any records on Rosa Russo other than her name on my G grandfather's birth registry.
I believe that they married sometime between 1867 to 1874.

You might already have this but just checking information.

#84 Saverio Donia born 14 July 1851 in Oppido to Giacomo Donia, 48, and Caterina Pozzano, 31.

Giuseppe Donia born 27 Oct 1881 Saverio Donia & Rosa Russo

Oppido marriages for 1880-1881 are missing from antenati but I would be interested to check 1880. It might be available on familysearch, but it is locked to library access. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/372855

If she was not from Oppido then it would help to find her death record. When Saverio came to America in 1907 to see his sons he indicates he is married (not widowed) so maybe she is still alive by this point. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... 3AJXXZ-MMD

Thank you for the information on Saverio visiting the USA. I never knew that. The main reason I am trying to find the marriage registry is I'm still unsure on our surname. My great Grandfather was Listed as Giacomo Dunia on his birth registry. And in his marriage registry. And his USA application for Naturalization. But it become Dunio around 1915.

I know Saverio and Rosa Russo were both alive and living in Oppido Mamertina. When my Great Grandfather and Greatgrandmother married in 1896> In Oppido Mamertina.

I am rather certain that Saverio Donio's son Giacomo was his first born 12 Dec 1873.
