This is what I'm understanding from the records that were submitted in order for this marriage to take place. (The information differs from what is written in the Marriage Record. It looks like the clerk has confused the dates of Giambattista's baptism and his father Fioravante's death?) Looking at...

It is actually on the next page. This page states that the birth was presented to the mayor/sindaco Ottavio Galassi by the levatrice/midwife Angelica di Sarro, age 58. On the back it states the infant was born to Paolina Lepore, age 40, housewife, wife of Felice Nardelli, age 36, landowner. The bir...

Ok! Thanks for the updates. I did see that you had set up a new thread for Sofia/Serafina and that you had a couple of researchers helping you with this. That's great. So pleased that you now have the correct Onofrio. I'll leave them to it, otherwise we end up covering the same ground and I'm bit st...

That site is too difficult for me too follow. If the documents are from the late 1700's I don't know how to access them. The Processetti (marriage attacments) for the marriage of Giambattista de Grandis and Sabbia d'Angelo, which Pippo is referring to, begin here: http://dl.antenati.san.benicultura...

Hi Angela, You and Mr. Bivona know my family almost as well as I do! Have a wonderful day! Pat I know what your saying. It is a bit like that. I've got a really good memory, but at the moment, because I've been helping someone else, from time to time, who is researching Orsogna, I find that I have ...

i will keep that in mind - checking ariano first... my experience with these records have been that marrying in the town of the bride's birth is not necessarily the rule. it is a good thing to remember, though. thanks again Absolutely!!! It happens in some cases for various reasons. It was a lucky ...

Will let u know what I find. JCM Di Maio is also another possibility? Di Maio: https://www.mappadeicognomi.it/...

Thanks so much Angela. I did not even consider looking in the ariano marriage acts...certainly did not look like ariano to me. Hoping all is well with you. As always, most appreciative of your efforts. Donna It was a tricky read, wasn't it. It didn't look like Ariano to me either, it was a good gue...
