Archivio di Stato Di Reggio Calabria, Sezione di Locri

Does anyone have any experience with this archive? Is it possible to order scans of records from them? How long does it usually take to hear back? I've been trying to get two documents from their Locri site for three months now, but so far have had no luck. At the beginning of December, they told me...

Cedolari/Quinternioni records from the Archivio di Stato di Napoli?

I'm interested in obtaining the records from an auction of feudal property that took place in 1593. I found a reference to the sale in an academic book published in the 1970s: Pervenuto a Francesco Rodinò per vendita fattagli all'asta nel S.R.C., per D. 1200, contro il patrimonio del fu Bar. Giovan ...

Re: Santa Flava / Sòlanto / Porticello in 18th-19th century riveli

Thanks for this reply. I’ve already exhausted the relevant records on FamilySearch and Antenati, unfortunately. The civil records for this area don’t begin until 1820, and FamilySearch only has church records for a handful of earlier years. They do, however, have riveli for Palermo beginning in the ...

Santa Flava / Sòlanto / Porticello in 18th-19th century riveli

I'm trying to find any records from this general area in the riveli di beni e anime, but so far I haven't had any luck. I know that my ancestors came from Solanto/Porticello. From what I know, Santa Flavia was known as Solanto until 1880, but according to this law I found, the comune of Solanto was ...

Re: Catasti Onciari that have been digitized in Naples

Thank you so much for this great advice! I'll definitely try that. Would the "carte/pagine" section of the request form be the correct place to say this?

Re: Catasti Onciari that have been digitized in Naples

Thank you so much for this reply! Perhaps I could ask them to send me the index pages at the front (assuming the town has them) and then request the specific pages that my ancestors appeared on.

Catasti Onciari that have been digitized in Naples

I'm interested in reviewing the catasto onciario record for Caulonia/Castelvetere. According to the Archivio di Stato di Napoli's database , this record is available in digital form in the archive's reading room, but I'm not able to travel there at the moment. If I were to request a copy of this rec...

Re: 1830s Palermo - Illegitimate Child of Married Father Recognized and Baptized?

Suanj, I can't think you enough for this thoughtful, detailed response to my forum post. A decade ago, when I was first digging into my family's history with the intent of pursuing my dual citizenship, I remember how knowledgeable and helpful you were throughout that process. And now once again, you...

1830s Palermo - Illegitimate Child of Married Father Recognized and Baptized?

I came across this situation while researching my family, and wondered if anyone could shed light. In essence: My 4x great-grandfather, Don Salvatore Finaltea, married his first wife, Donna Maria Antonia Vinci, in Palermo in 1815, at the church of Sant'Ippolito Martire. As far as I can tell, the cou...

Re: application forms for appointment

Thank you guys so much...I'm going to have my mother fill these forms out ahead of time, just so she has them, and so she'll have the correct information if the consulate wants them filled out on the premises. In reading these forms, it looks like 1&2 are to be filled out by the applicant, 3 is ...

Gosh, I can't believe how many questions I have! My mother's appointment in Newark is tomorrow (Thursday the 15th), and I'm just trying to make sure she has all the resources she needs.

Newark Appointment -- NYC Translation Certification?

Hi, everybody! Due to the hurricane, my appointment in Newark was postponed from Aug 31 to Sept 15th. This was in some ways a blessing, as it allowed time for my mother's birth certificate to arrive, with the corrections I had been desperately waiting for. However, in the interim, I've moved to Ohio...

Oh my gosh, Ray, I was totally confused by your send-off until I realized who you were. Would you mind facebooking me with that form?

Thanks!

PS, when is your appointment!
