Tufobia name on birth record

Hey there, came across this as it includes a family name as a parent, but I’m not entirely sure what’s going on here. Can anyone clarify/summarize?

1865 banns in Messina proper…?

Sorry if I’m being an idiot, but I’m not finding this record on antenati.

But according to familysearch, it exists

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X3P6-VRVP?lang=en

Also, is this name… Tufobia? That’s a new one.

Re: A Real Shot in the Dark

That is…. very broad. Unfortunately I think you need relatives of that man to also be looking, and looking now when you’re looking, and that’s a tall order.

I guess you’ve done some DNA, based on the illness? I ask because I was able to use Ancestry records and DNA to figure out relatives, and even ...

Re: Can’t find a marriage record. Gioiosa Marea, probably 1866.

Thanks for finding Salvatore’s birth act. I do have a sort of similar birth act on another branch, where they specifically noted the child was illegitimate, then added a note in the margin that it was reversed later when the parents wed. Here they weren’t so pointed about the legitimacy, so maybe ...

Re: Can’t find a marriage record. Gioiosa Marea, probably 1866.

Did I miss a 10-year index? Is there some other way, short of writing to the parish?

Can’t find a marriage record. Gioiosa Marea, probably 1866.

Vincenzo Ferlazzo of Gioiosa Marea.

Salvadore Ferlazzo and Concetta Baudo had at least 8 kids.
Son Giuseppe is my GGGrandfather. Vincenzo is one of his 3 brothers.

Vincenzo was born on March 5, 1845.

Re: State of New York records turnaround?

Unfortunately I can’t find the marriage certificate, which is likely 1866. Seems to be a year that’s missing. The first son Salvatore was born in 1868, although that’s a mostly self-reported date. (Can’t find Salvatore’s birth record, either, but that’s not as big a deal.)

I’m trying to confirm ...

Re: State of New York records turnaround?

It was actually Patchogue (Suffolk County), and I contacted the town clerk and actually received the death certificate from Patchogue in Saturday's mail. Unfortunately, the piece of information I sought, his mother's name, was left blank.

No one here had a response, but FYI for anyone else, a recent Reddit said they are *years* behind.

Re: A birth record from 1874 in 1915?

Do know about the quake (unfortunately the family lost some relatives), but didn't know they were mandated to reproduce records. I have so many other records, including from that same year (1874), that are original. I guess she was just in a stack/location that was damaged. (And I've been lucky so ...

State of New York records turnaround?

Anyone have any idea about the timeframe? I sent a request and a check to Albany about 3 weeks ago. The check still hasn’t been cashed. I’m wondering how long to give them (I’m guessing 6 weeks) before assuming it got lost, and the check should be canceled.

I sent a request to St. Louis for my dad ...
