Unfortunately not. Are you also searching his history?

Good Day Kent, my apologies, I’m seeing this a good 4 years later for the first time. This is the document I was referring to regarding the Garbini request. Hope this helps.https://ibb.co/3RncBg0

You're probably right. I got that name from the letter, an Italian consulate translation from France on behalf of his son Jerome in 1922.

I am looking for information anyone might have on POW records from WWII. My grandfather, Matteo Sauro of Ripabottoni Italy, was captured in Egypt on January 3, 1945 and held in Alexandria Egypt for 7 months before being put on a ship and sent to Liverpool England via South Africa.

When you get the birth certificate from Ventimiglia, there could be the marriage annotation on it, with the italian wife, so the consulate could ask you if you have like the death record of the italian wife (there was not divorce or separation at that time), and if your great grandmother was like ...

I agree with Mler, your main goal is to prove your bloodline. It seems you have that information. Granted, there is a tremendous doubt involved in your case - so, I'd look into applying at a ...

Mler, he is qualified, yes, but what if the consulate says,
" a marriage record is missing and you need to bring it with apostille and translation",

and if Reasoned faith proves that it is all he has, the consulate says,

"i'm sorry, the paperwork is not complete, you can not apply without that ...

Have you got only that affidavit? Dont you have a marriage record of them of traditional custom of Labola? if you have that kind of their marriage record, you can start to collect the paperwork.
As I already said, you risk to collect everything, put apostille and translations on all your documents ...

At this point the only problem is that your great grandparents never got married, there is not a marriage certificate or record of them, and since there is none, the paperwork is not complete (see the all listed documents above), and unfortunately your application would be denied.
The paperwork ...

Thank you very much for the valuable information ricbru. Would this be true:

Absolutely. draining I learned about abandonment of the Italian family when the father came to America and deaths of 4 babies out of 7 kids like you experienced.

This appears to be a common theme. My great grandfather started a second family in South Africa while leaving his other family in Italy ...

My story is a rather tragic, heartbreaking and perplexing one. My great grandfather came to South Africa in 1901 as a railroad construction worker from Vintimille Italy. He subsequently met my great grandmother who was black and had 8 children with her, 3 of which died very early on and he bought a ...
