I am interested in requesting my great grandfather’s military service records. I know his exact date and place of birth, parents’ names, have his birth record, etc. If I want to learn more about any time he may have served in the military, what do I need to request and where do I need to send it ...

That would explain why I couldn't find Biase. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for your help. I can't find a parish of San Biase in Venosa. Also, when it says he was buried in the Church of S. Rocco, do you think that means there is a headstone for him, or is there not actually one? Thanks

Adding: he was from Castel Del Monte, L'Aquila. He died in Venosa, Potenza on 8 Dec 1796. I believe this is where Chiesa di S. Rocco is. That is all I can make out.

I have a few pages from a marriage processetti that I would like translated, so I am going to post them one at a time. I would greatly appreciate if someone could transcribe or translate this death notice for Nicola Bottiglione (Nicolai Buttiglione). Thanks in advance.

What exactly is a No Record search or No Record found letter?

I sent off for an Index search at the USCIS at he end of November 2015. I was wondering if anyone has ever sent for an index search and if so, how long did it take for you to get the results? I received a letter saying they got my request, but I'm so anxious to get back the results.

I didn't know that that was common practice, so thank you for that information. I think I have the birth record for the second child so they were never alive at the same time. It makes sense now! Thanks again.

I found the death records of two Giampiatro's that both have the same parents. The only problem is they have two different dates of death. I don't speak Italian so I'm having the most trouble with the handwritten record. I am able to extract some info from the records, but I'm just wondering if I am ...

Thank you, Pippo!

Thank you, Paola! I appreciate your help.

My ancestors come from Castel Del Monte in L'Aquila. Does anyone know where I can find information about this commune? I would be interested in any old maps, pictures, facts, etc. When you aren't familiar with the geography, Google is NOT your friend. :)

Also, where can I find out about cemeteries ...

I need help translating a birth record I found for my great grandfather. I have other documents too, but I figured this was a good one to start with. I can get from the record his name (Clodomiro Arturo Bottiglione) and his address (223 Via Centrale) but beyond that I'm pretty lost. I'm not sure if ...
