Re: Bottino/Bottini Family Questions

Just jumping back into my research, and got "delivery failure" on this email address. Is anyone still following this thread somehow?

Re: Liuzzi Family

You are probably my cousin, I have some records from Montemurro from when I ordered film, tell me some more details about him and I'll see if I have anything. My great-grandfathers' name was Domenico Liuzzi, husband of Angela Romanella, and he may have been a relative of yours. Let me know ------ Matt

Re: 3 unknown occupations...

Ok so Fabbricatore is same as muratore, and cardalano would be another way to say scardassiere? BTW I forgot another one, from 1835, couldnt find anything close, I read it as "agrimangone", anything? Was I way off? The handwriting is tough, sorry.

Re: 3 unknown occupations...

Definitely didnt say fabbricante, but 2 b's seems to be the trend. I was thinking something about rope since "cordata" means "roped party", and great find on scardassiere, would that be someone who works the wool into a useable product?

3 unknown occupations...

I came across these "professions" while researching potential extended family from Grumento Nova, Potenza, they should all be from early 1800s, maybe a bit earlier, just to give a time and place reference. All were hard to read, but I think I got pretty close, just can't find a definition ...

Re: Occupation - 1820s Puglia

Are the birth records you found of relatives? I only ask because one of my ancestors kept popping up as a witness to births and deaths of non-relatives in the same era as yours, and his occupation was hard to read, as old records can be, and it ended up being "sacerdote", which means pries...

Re: Another translation...

Yeah, I guess the full text helps, what a difference haha! Sorry for the bunk translation. "Leopard spot" is a funny way to describe small pockets of a surname distribution though, huh?

Re: Another translation...

I believe it's referring to a disease, but the phrase you highlighted roughly translates to "Leopard's mark at the North". I think Pilotti was the name of the disease, and in Northern Italy it was called "Leopard spots", or something similar. The end of the text tells what other ...

Re: Cecchere?

Only posting this because of similarity in spelling and pronunciation, although it is also northern, but what about Cichero, in San Colombano, Genoa? Part of my family is from there, and I have yet to find any way to review records from there. It sounds similar because my grandmother used to remembe...

Re: Looking for alternate sources, Bottini

Excellent, thanks Peter, so if I send an inquiry letter to the Archives with name, dob, parents names, they will check the records and see if his birth record is there? Sorry, I haven't had to write to Italy yet in my other research. I didn't see anything other than a map listed on FHL search for ce...

Re: Looking for alternate sources, Bottini

Not sure what church it was, I have the date and text from your previous post, VJ, but haven't been into Boston to see the actual record. I guess I could order film for that. I know his son, John Angelo, was married at Sacred Heart in 1911, but have been told that St Leonards holds all the records f...
