This is the main source for church records:

It seems there's nothing about Mazara.

Re: Say Uncle?
I think "uncle" is just a word.
In our researches, there are no rules.
So, when someone asks what would be the "correct surname" of an individual, I say it just depends on the use.
The same goes for an "uncle": it's a word used in our colloquial speech, it doesn't set a rule. "uncle" (I mean, "zio ...

Re: name of Church for marriage
It is not mentioned, as since 1865 civil and religious marriages took place separately.
Only after 1929 religious marriages started again having civil relevance (but upon communication of the priest to the Town Offices)

Re: Need someone to get records/knows any 'SPAGNOTTO's'
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but there's no other way than going through City Offices.
The issue is that after the new rules set by the government that let Offices rise their fees for old certifications, my fees are far lower than theirs. I mean, the Office might request up to 300€ per ...

Re: MAJOR ISSUES WITH ITALIANGENEALOGY SITE
I'm having the "bad request" issue, too.
I guess that's because of obsolescence of the Forum.

Re: Finding recent Afragola relatives
You can try on Facebook, in some local page (of the kind "Sei di Afragola se" = "You are from Afragola if"), asking if someone knows their descendants.

Re: What's in a name?
If you are so curious, you should check if there were other relatives (Grandparents, aunts, uncles) who had some of such names. It's possible that Ciro was given for devotion to St. Ciro, since it's written in its masculine version.

Re: birth names
Hello,
there's no naming custom, as far as I know.
However, in Italy we don't have "middle" names.
We may have "double" names, like "Maria Teresa" or "Francesco Saverio", or multiple names, separated by a comma in official records. The first of such multiple names is usually (but not always) the one ...
