The marriage publications are not in Camerano, so you would need copies of their marriage records from these other towns to determine where they were residing at the time of the marriages. For the town of Cavaglio d'Agogna, you would have to go to a local Mormon family history to view the marriage record.

Hi Erudita,
Thanks for the info. I've been to the LDS FHC to view the Cavaglio d'Agogna birth records. I found birth records for my grandmother and her sister. (Luigia Penna is their mother.) I still need to get the birth record for Luigia's husband Carlo Cantoia, so will add their marriage records to my list. I don't know what makes them so special that they can't be viewed remotely like the other films. It's kind of a hassle.

This is all good stuff. Filomena's family is an unexplored (& previously unknown) branch of my family tree.

I have another question if you're not tired of this topic:
Sometimes the records refer to this town as Camerano, and other times as Camerano Casasco. The title pages on the Atti di Nascita always list it as Camerano Casasco (part of Asti province). Camerano is a comune in Ancona province. (And to help with the confusion, there is also a Casasco in Asti province.) Did the locals understand "Camerano" to be shorthand for Camerano Casasco in Asti?

I have no idea how the locals referred to the town name. When I just typed Camerano in my posts above, it was shorthand for me. I was just too lazy to type the town name in its entirety, but assumed you realized that. So all of my references are to the town of Camerano Casasco in Asti.

I don't know why some records are only accessible at a family history. Sometimes the familysearch website will say that you can access certain records only at a family history center, but you can still access the records from another website-

Unfortunately, the records for Cavaglio d'Agogna are not currently on this website.

I'm just glad you have done research at a family history center and know the procedure there. Hopefully the marriage record will indicate the bride's place of residence at the time of the marriage.
