Thank you so very much, Debbie. I will go back down to Trenton and visit the archives.

Do you know whether or not a marriage record which is not at the Dept of Health in Trenton might still exist .... somewhere?

I am afraid I am going to have to go through a delayed marriage request process ...

Hello again,

Does anyone else have any thoughts on whether or not townships would keep records in 1903?

If so, does anyone else have any thoughts on where records from an absorbed township would go?

If a township ceased to exist in 1917, where do you think the records would go?

Thanks!!!

Hi - Yes. Church has the marriage record. Yes. They sent me a copy. I am having trouble locating the Civil Record. The state of NJ has 'no record' of my great-grandparents' marriage.

I need the state's document for the dual citizenship process.

Best,
Denise

Hello Tamberino!

Yes. I called the church. They weren't sure, but suggesting trying Passaic.

I like the idea of searching based on the county. Maybe I can even call the county...

In any event, I am definitely going to try your suggestion!

Thanks so much for writing me with your ideas!
Denise

Hello - Of course! I am so sorry...

Hello again,

I could use help understanding what happens to a record of marriage that took place in a township that no longer exists.



All my very best,
Denise

Thank you y Gracias!

I used the fax number Anac posted above (also found on the website http://www.comuni.it) and received a letter from Montecorvino Rovella with my great-grandfather's birth extract in nine days.

Still waiting to hear from Eboli.

Gracias otra vez,
Denise

I faxed Montecorvino Rovella based on a fax number, which I found on the following website:

Dear Johnny on the spot and all:

Thank you so very kindly for your responses! I had put my search on hold for the last year (while I was in school) and am back on the job again!

Very helpful to see that so many people have posted. I have faxed a request to Eboli for my great-grandmother's birth ...

Hi again,

You may remember me. You all helped me SO MUCH last summer, when you helped me figure out that my GGPs were not married in Italy, after all, but in NJ!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!

I was not sure whether I should start a new thread or not, but thought I would continue here, in case some of the ...

Did you try the Expats in Italy forum? They may have some ideas for you. Denise

Hi again! Sorry for taking a while to respond I have been out of town:)

Her name is spelled Varigato, Virgato and Vergato on various records.

She is from the province of Salerno in Campania. I believe she was born in Eboli or Battipaglia.

Do you require additional info?

THANK YOU.

Very cool. I am trying to find the correct spelling of my great-grandmother's surname. Is this possible?

Hi,
I have seen mention of good Italian surname sites, but I cannot find the links. Can you please post them here?
Thank you,
Denise

Hi again,

I just wanted to write this on the chance it could help someone in the future who is trying to find marriage records in NJ. By doing some research on Catholic Churches founded before 1903 (and specifically Italian parishes, if this information was available), I was able to narrow down the ...
