Re: Help finding Italian records

I was hoping there was some source beyond FamilySearch (I tried antenati.cultura.gov.it but couldn't find anything), but I guess not. Apparently I just didn't try hard enough on Family Search.

Help finding Italian records

I am trying to find birth/marriage records for:

1. Luigi Pace, born in Italy (Liguria per Find a Grave but his son’s birth town of Petilia Policastro is more likely), on 4 December 1862 (per Find a Grave headstone and 1862 per census data)

2. married to Maria Carbelli (apparently died before 1905 ...

Re: Help deciphering handwriting

Thank you so much PicaJ and AngelaGrace56 for finding those two records. I am trying not to take advantage of your incredible generosity, so I have done my best to transcribe everything I can from those records.

Re: Help deciphering handwriting

Wow, PicaJ and mmogno! Thank you both so much. I never would have figured all that out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Interestingly, the birth record PicaJ found also lists San Simeone, tightening the connection between the two - I was concerned that Golino is a very common name in Marcianise ...

Re: Help deciphering handwriting

Good call on the marriage thing. Now I see the date on there - she was married in 1908 in Marcianise, so that makes sense.

And thank you so much for Lorenzo's birth record!

Still looking for help with that street name - there may be a visit someday....

Re: Need help with "I" and "J" in records

So I am incredibly late to this party, but this post was very helpful in better understanding why De Majo became De Maio in the United States. Looking back at the records, I realize now it doesn't look exactly like a "j," but more like an "i" with a tail (that tail was probably how they denoted ...

This is the record for Dominico De Majo (top left of slide 2269).

Help deciphering handwriting

This is the record for Caterina Golina (top left of slide 1156):

Unfortunately the image quality is not the best, and since I do not know Italian it is really hard for me to decipher. I do have that Caterina ...
