Thank you so much Ellen! We'll move on and keep searching!

Ok thanks for the update!

On a side note, in Antenati we found an index listing a marriage record for Stefano Langone - Marsico Nuovo › Matrimoni › 1834.

Should the index # correspond to the number in the upper right of the book pages? His name does not appear in 46 and can't seem to find it ...

Ellen,

Thanks for that tip with the indexes! I'm searching in Antenati now and that is a huge time saver!

Thanks again!

Ellen and Tessa,

Wow! These are such amazing documents!

We are so thankful to you for helping us with our search, and deeply appreciate your kindness and expertise!

We've been able to find a few more documents going through birth records on Ancestry WE, but really need to dig in to Antenati now ...

Livio,

Thank you so much! Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

We believe the attached document may be the birth record of our Great, Great Grandmother, Domenica Bonsera. She would have eventually married Raffaele Langone (born in 1868 and lists Domenica as the mother of his then 7 children on his naturalization papers).

Raffael's son Vito's marriage ...

Ellen,

Thank you so much for your kindness and help with pulling that document! The information matches what we currently have, and now we have the parents names from the previous generation to search with as well.

Very cool that our relatives lived in such close proximity to each other!

After ...

Tessa78,

Wow that is very specific information, and confirms that it is very likely the Raffaele we are researching, since the date and location match those on the other records that we have here in the US.

I can't thank you enough for your help with this!

Section 51 of the attached document refers to some event related to Raffaele Langone.

I would appreciate it if anyone can assist in identifying the type of document it is and possibly some key information it may contain.

I am thinking it may be a birth record. For reference the known birth date we ...

Yes I got it - thank you!

Ellen,

I don't have a World Explorer membership on there yet so not able to view. If you could send a pic that would be great!

Ellen,

His son Vito's marriage certificate on 6/29/1913 lists Domenica Bonsera as the mother.

If you could please link me to the record you found it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help!

EllenCatusco,

Thank you very much for the tip! I see on the map at italianside.com that there is a good concentration of the surname listed in that area including Potenza.

Italysearcher,

Potenza is listed on various documents including the attached passport. It is also listed on the death record we found, and one of his children's draft cards which is also attached (although I can't see it in the preview so not sure if it will show).

Thank you!

Greetings,

We've been tracing our family history and have had much success with records in the US.

However prior to our great, great grandfather coming to the US, we can't seem to find any documentation from Italy online.

We would greatly appreciate if anyone can offer assistance to point us in ...
