Thanks

Not seeing an obvious link/request form

Will do! Thank you so much

that makes a lot of sense, and the US Census records I have say they are, or claimed, illiteracy. But yes still strange.

I do need them, I believe, for citizenship, which is a pain if I need to rectify them

I have so much other supporting documentation, plus now the death notice for Catarina seems ...

GENIUS!!!

Sorry for Catarina, but glad to have confirmation she did not marry Giuseppe. That helps a lot even if it just rules out another marriage.

Such an adventure...thanks again for your help!

The ...

I found a birth record for Antonina but not a marriage. It is strange. Thank you for searching and for your help! I am very appreciative

Just saw your earlier message, thank you for confirming that they were married.

Any advice on how to confirm/find marriage? The 1883 atti di matrimonia names a Catarina Cannatella. Are there other records I should be searchlng?

Many thanks again for your help!!

Looking for help finding a marriage record for Giuseppe Cascio (b. 1856, Salaparuta to Vito Cascio/Mattia Mandina) and Antonina (Lena) Canatella (b. 1863, Salaparuta to Antonio or Giuseppe Canatella and Vincenza di Benedetto).
