Re: Marriage in New York

I looked at the act of Francesco Cucuruzzo, I think you are right, as the names of parents are the same as in Family Search and Lacco Ameno became Lacomena.
Could you explain how have you found it?

Re: Marriage in New York

Thank you. I asked not for me, but for another person who found the info on Family Search, but thinks it's not correct the surname of Caterina, so wants to see the marriage act, not published on Family Search. So the marriage act must be asked at the link you put, they are not online somewhere. Perh...

Re: town of marriage

The town is certainly Castelfranco in Miscano, written only Castelfranco as it was bordering with Ariano di Puglia (now Ariano Irpino).

Re: Magnino - Sparone, Piedmont

Yes Angela, we wrote together. I confirm, all marriage acts I've seen are signed with the maiden name. The fact that she signed Magnino (even if for the comune perhaps it was officially Magnin) confirms for me the reason of adding the second surname: two families with exactly the same surname or two...

Re: Magnino - Sparone, Piedmont

Hi Bob. As to the marriage act, the signature at the bottom is the maiden name: Magnino Prino ; the official wrote Magnin - Prino, but it is the same. In this area there were various families with same surname Magnino and at a certain moment it was decided to add to one of them the second surname Pr...

Re: Magnino - Sparone, Piedmont

(follows) The birth act states that the father Giacomo was a 'muratore' (mason, bricklayer) and the mother was a 'contadina' (farmer, peasant). In the last part of the act there are the names of two witnesses (not important, usually they are not relatives) and the signatures: Giacomo Magnino, the tw...

Re: Magnino - Sparone, Piedmont

Salve Angela. Thank you for this act. Yes it confirms the mother's surname, a double surname, common in Piemonte, as someone (perhaps you?) explained on this forum to distinguish families with the same (first) surname. Note that in the signature she wrote Magnino. Or I'd consider it a single great a...

Re: Magnino - Sparone, Piedmont

I saw only now your post and that no one answered you until now. I try to tell you something. Sparone is a small village near Torino. The registers are available on Family Search, so I looked for the birth act of your grandfather, but perhaps you already have it. It is written badly, I'll try later ...

Re: Do I qualify?

Can you please explain better about your father? He was not Italian and became Italian? In which way? Did he immigrated to Italy, asked Italian citizenship and then reemigrated? And your mother was not living in Italy? If they were married, she probably became Italian. In any case if your father was...

Re: birth act help please

The mother Angela Maria Russo, living in Biserta (in 1905) , wrote a 'procura' to the declarant Gaetano Basile to act in her name in Italy. They asked the Tribunale of Ariano to authorize the late registration of the birth and together the recognition of the child by the mother. The birth had been i...
