Re: Genealogist Recommendations or Advice? (Seeking Records from Orta Nova, 1684–1697)



You can try Giovanni Maria Ammassari.
He is based in Apulia, though not exactly in that area, so maybe he can help.
I don't know about his fees, but he is very accurate.
I know him (not personally) for his cooperation to the Italian genealogy site www.tuttogenealogia.it
Here are his contacts ...

Re: Gaetano Favazza

Ciao paisan! I truly hope you get the father's day gift you were looking for! A few things

1) Could you share the atto for Luigi when you get the chance?

2) Do you know where Luigi was married? If he was married in Italy, you could obtain his marriage processetti which could give you a birth or ...

Genealogist Recommendations or Advice? (Seeking Records from Orta Nova, 1684–1697)

Hi everyone! I’m searching for baptism, marriage, or death records from Orta Nova (formerly Orta dei Gesuiti) between 1684–1697 ! Unfortunately, I'm not having much luck!

At the time, Orta was fully controlled by the Jesuits, who ran the church Santa Maria delle Grazie, built in 1645. A baptismal ...

Re: Grandfather's Death Record in Marriage Processetti


I'm not expert of 1700's processetti, but in 1800 I've very often found the declaration that the spouse did "not know where and when his/her grandfather passed away". I think that was because :
- it was not easy to get a certificate from another town
- it was probably an expense
- they really DID ...

I have heard that a grandfather's death record was often included in the marriage processetto if a man's father and grandfather were both dead. Is this true?

Re: Can I access records in a Diocesan Archive in Italy?


Most towns have multiple old churches with one of them as the main church. When I detoured from my tour group and went for less than 3 hours to the small town of Racalmuto, Sicily, there were 4 churches - all next to each other. I went in the first church on the corner which was open, found a ...

Re: Birth Records for Castelvecchio Subequo for 1866 to 1910


Records after 1866 have not yet been published.
If you need a photo of the register for your info about the genealogy of a family, you should ask a 'copia integrale' of the birth/marriage/death act : you should explain the reason of the request (ex. : study of the genealogy of that family), tell ...

Re: Birth Records for Castelvecchio Subequo for 1866 to 1910


In the town offices.



Got it, thank you Ann! Although it is a shame they don't have the records online. (And strange that they have 1809 to 1865 online... but not 1866 to 1910).

Is the only way to access the records at a town office to go there in person, or do town offices send photos of ...
