Re: some kind of mystery....

It is indeed a mystery how can someone's birth record be declared false after nearly 40 years. The only way to know would be to acquire the court ruling, which by now should have been transferred to the Archivio di Stato in Avellino. A copy of the ruling should also be in the attachments folder of t...

Camillacci family in Monte San Giovanni Campano

Hello everyone, I have been researching the origins of my ancestral surname Camillacci, which I believed to originate from the small town of Sermoneta, where I managed to trace up to my great-great-grandfather. However, the trail goes cold before him, and I suppose that the first person with that su...

Re: Mother lied when applying for citizenship. Do I have any options?

Well, in Italy lying to a public officer IS a felony, carrying a penalty between one and six years in jail. https://www.brocardi.it/codice-penale/libro-secondo/titolo-vii/capo-iv/art495.html#:~:text=Dispositivo%20dell%27art.,495%20Codice%20Penale&text=Chiunque%20dichiara%20o%20attesta%20falsamen...

Re: Terracina - Death Records

Hello Samantha,

I am so sorry for being the bearer of bad news, but I just found the death record of poor baby Giuseppe, who passed away barely three days after his birth.

Re: What happened to my great-great aunt??

Hi Tessa, Thank you very much for your help. Yes, indeed he did travel alone (although I'm not so sure whether he did travel to Canada before settling in the US). Therefore Costanza must not have been living with him. Tomorrow I'll go visit a Family Search affiliated library, and I hope that will sh...

What happened to my great-great aunt??

Hello everyone, I found out that a brother of my great-great-grandfather, Adolfo Manciocchi, emigrated from the town of Sermoneta to the US in 1924, settled in Wheeling, WV and was granted American citizenship in 1928, as shown on his naturalisation certificate: https://www.ancestry.com.au/sharing/2...

Re: Emigration from Lazio to Puglia

Pulcherini is not a city, but it is part of the City of Minturno. Also, the province of Latina didn't exist until 1931.

Minturno and Foggia were both in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies at the time, so even if there was a remarkable distance between the two places, both were in the same country.

Re: Relative deported upon arrival.

Further to my previous post, I just found out on the back of the Form 30A that every traveller had to submit to the immigration authorities that my relative Mario Caponi was detained upon arrival and then subject to a Special Inquiry questioning. He was rejected entry to the US, appealed the rejecti...

Relative deported upon arrival.

Hello everyone, During my research about a branch of my Italian family, I found out that the husband of one of my great aunts tried to immigrate to Canada in 1923, but was deferred to a Board of Special Inquiry upon his arrival in New York, and ultimately deported. I'd like to see whether it could b...

Re: Ferrara Family

Without any information on when did they live, married and passed away, it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
