Hi everyone,

I was curious as to what reasons my 3rd great grandparents (Salvatore Mazzuca and Vittoria Saraco) might have named three of their children Rocco. The first was Rocco Mazzuca, their sixth child, born in Badolato on Christmas 1853. He later died a little over five months later in the ...

I noticed that as well.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to locate more information about my great-grandmother Angelina Matera. What I do have is one 1940 census document that lists her children and her marriage to my great-grandfather Serafino (Sam) Olivieri (all of them living in Brooklyn), a 1940 death record for him (lists his ...

I have struggled with these given names for a while, so now I'm hoping someone with deep knowledge :shock: of names can help determine what these are....

Sorry I dont have much else to go on yet, since I was only sent small clips

What looks like an "x" in the first name typically is an "r"

I checked the death indices for both Badolato and Dipignano from 1842 through 1850, and only found one possibility. The death of Rosalia Groe on 28 December 1843 i Dipignano.
Parents are listed as deceased Nicola and deceased Arcangela.
This Rosalia is age 70, a spinner born in Dipignano.
BUT ...

Do you have her parents names?


Unfortunately I do not. All I know is that one child of hers born after 1809 was Maria Saveria Mazzuca in 1810 and the other was Salvatore Mazzuca in 1814, both born in Dipignano. If I had to guess there are probably more children born before civil registration ...

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to locate a death record for my ancestor Rosa Groe. She was married to Carlo Antonio Mazzuca (who predeceased her) and seems to have lived in Dipignano, Cosenza. She may have also lived in Badolato, Catanzaro, where her son Salvatore Mazzuca moved to and died. She was born ...

Looking again at the marriage of Salvatore Mazzuca, I see that the marriage took place in Badolato, the hometown of the bride. The Processetti would be kept in that comune, not in Dipignano.
This would be the Bardolato film (only viewed at FHC) that holds the Processetti for 1843.
Processetti ...

Hi all,

I've come across this church record for Parenti, Cosenza, from 1753. One of my ancestors (Bruno Miletta, and his wife Flaminia Cardamone) is listed in it and I was wondering what his relationship to the head of the household is, and who his parents might be. I have attached an image of the ...

Thanks for the replies. It seems to make sense. I'll just have to find the church records for Parenti.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the birth of my second great grandmother, Maria Cristina Perri. Her 1870 birth record from Parenti (which can be seen here: https://www.italiangenealogy.com/forum/topic/53485) says her mother did not consent to being named. Furthermore, her 1887 marriage record ...

Hi everyone,

I need a little help translating and interpreting this birth record for my 2nd great grandmother, Maria Cristina Perri. An 1888 marriage record in Parenti to my 2nd great grandfather indicates her parents were unknown, which leads me to believe she might have been born out of wedlock ...

Hello all,

I am trying to locate a death record for my fourth-great-grandfather, Carlo Antonio Mazzuca. A marriage record for my third-great-grandfather Salvatore Mazzuca that dates to September 1843 in Badolato, Catanzaro, appears to indicate he died (has the word fu) prior, and that he lived "in ...
