Erudita,

Thanks for your help!

I have a question about recording the surnames that I have found. For example, in regard to Cristina Iacovelli, how would you record her name in a genealogical software program: Cristina Iacovelli, Cristina di Iacovelli, Cristina DiIacovelli, or Cristina D'Iacovelli.

In addition, how a surname is recorded in the Italian vital records varies: birth records, marriage, death, etc.

Erudita, how do you record the surnames?

Regards,

John

You may want to read the following link which addresses this issue-

http://www.genealogy.com/articles/over/heard120601.html

I think it’s a matter of personal choice as to how you choose to enter surnames in you software program. Just make sure you are consistent in how you do so, or you may have difficulty locating individuals in the surname index option in the program, or you might end up with individuals not being connected to the appropriate ancestry. I would just use Iacovelli and indicate spelling change in the note section for a particular entry, or you could follow it with a backslash and then the alternative spelling, or you can use Iacovelli and put D' or di or Di in parentheses in the individual entry. You just have to see what works best for you. Also if you have a surname such as Di Gennaro, I would omit the space in my entry in my software program.

I have a problem where a middle letter of a surname was changed by priests in their records in the 1600s.The patriarch has an R in the middle of the surname. His son had an R when he married, but then his children had an L in the middle instead of the R, and he had an L in his death record. Then the subsequent generations had the L and the R was completely lost. So for the patriarch, I typed his surname with an R. For the son, I have it typed with an R followed by a backslash and then the surname with the L on the same line of the entry. Then it changed again in the U.S. It had a single L on the passenger list, which is how it remained through all of the Italian state civil records, but then it acquired a second middle L in all other U.S. records. So then I have the surname with the single L followed by a backslash followed by the surname with the double L for the immigrant. His American born descendants all have the double L in their entries. This works as far as generating a descendant report, but the individuals are not in alphabetical order in the surname index.
