Profession and Address for Ignazio Biundo

[sbiondo257]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me more info about some of my relatives. My 2x Great-Grandfather's name was Ignazio Biundo and he was born on August 5, 1879 in Cinisi, Province of Palermo, Sicilia, Italia. He was married to Pietra/Petrina Badalamente/Badlamenti and had the following children: Michele (1912), Salvatore (1913), Maria (1915), Ignazio (1917), Giuseppa/Josephine (1919), and Francesco (1921). Could anyone tell me Ignazio's profession and address? And can birth records for his children be found? I don't know if this is possible to find, but it would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
Sal Biondo

Here is his birth act from Cinisi which shows his birth on 5 Aug 1878. Margin notation of his marriage. Born to Michele Biundo and Maria LaDuca at Via Bara, #3. Top left. Cinisi records stop in 1902 so I am unable to locate birth acts for the children which would list his profession and the street address where the births took place. Likewise, marriage notation shows marriage year after 1902 so no marriage act available.

Though it does not have the information you are seeking, I thought you might like to have Ignazio's Church marriage record.

Wow! Thank you so much Biff and Tessa! I can't believe how quickly you were able to find those records! I wonder if they lost their first child and still named the second after the Grandfather...
Also, does it show the professions of Ignazio's parents on his Birth Record?
Thanks again for all the help! this is quite a breakthrough for me!

Hello T. Hope you and your family are well.

Since Ignazio was presented at the town hall by a midwife, neither his father Michele's age or occupation is listed.

I believe you are correct in guessing that the first Michele died as an infant or toddler and the next male child born in 1912 was also named Michele.

I see, would there be another way to find out his occupation? I suspect they're farmers, but would it be possible to find it on a marriage record? I've only used Church Records before and they just give you the basics.

The problem here is that civil registrations that are available online only extend through 1902. Even among the records available, there are several missing years.

I believe this shows that many of the later records have not yet been digitized

Among the available records is this marriage of Ignazio's parents: Michele Biundo and Maria Lo Duca
#29 in September 1877.
Michele is a 25yo farmer, son of deceased Ignazio Biundo
