... Salerno,and have found two fermina’s but both have different surnames to my relatives . My relative Fermina married Salvatore Mansi. And she was raised by a Alfonso and a rachele cioffi. I’d like to know if was common for the foundling to change the surnames they were given? Thanks in advance. Lucie

In the marriage record it is clearly written that Fermina was a foundling, given into the care of Alfonso Ruocco and Rachele Cioffi

The documentation on foundlings is kept in the Salerno State Archives.

Hi. I’m having trouble finding my GG Grandmothers birth record? I think she was a foundling, as on another record of marriage it said ,daughter of Rachele Cioffi who died and was under the care of another cioffi man.

So you reference a Tomasso as a grandfather to my Tomaso and all indications are he is the grandfather. Looking everywhere for the gap. Your site shows a Rachele Allio married to a Carlo Dama. I think she lived in the same household as my Tomasso at some point?

Whoops. Please ignore this Jerry. As Erudita has said I looked at the wrong record after I had made my first post re the Mayor's name.

The first witness on record 53 looks like Felice Santoro. Vincenzo mentioned by Angela is on record 52 on the left. The witness Federico is also on record #52, not #53. The other witness on #53 is Luigi Minichini. He’s also a witness on record #55.

The second witness is Federico Mastromarino.

The first witness is Vincenzo de ?
