Marriage Act translation

Post by delfgill »

Hi,

Can someone please translate the bottom half of marriage act #31 for Nigro/DiRago where it lists the documents provided. I've tried unsuccessfully in finding the processetti:

http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... ewsIndex=0

From previous research and other documents, it's believed this same bride marries Giacomo's brother, Tommaso, around ~1865 and has several children with him. My guess is she married Tommaso after Giacomo's death but I haven't been able to confirm this. I wasn't able to find Giacomo's death act.

What I do have are death acts for Mariaurelia DiRago and Tommaso Nigro that confirm their parents and their marriage to each other. I tried attaching copies but the files are too large. Here is the info:

#92 in 1885 in Viggiano
Mariaurelia Di Rago, age 41, born in Viggiano
Father: deceased Leonardo
Mother: deceased Rosamaria Miraglia
Widow of Tommaso Nigro

#19 in 1877
Tommaso Nigro, age 39, farmer.
Father: deceased Prospero
Mother: Angelarosa Marsciano
Husband of Mariaurelia di Rago

What I've never been able to find is Tommaso's birth act.

Help is greatly appreciated!!

I appreciate the link. I should have been more specific. Is there a notation on the marriage act as to which folio number or page the processetti can be found? I searched the pages of the link you provided but did not find the documents for this couple.

Processetti for Marriage No 31 begins here with the Cover Sheet: http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... 2.jpg.html

Looking at the cover sheet, you will notice that No 31, top right corner is the same number as the marriage record. (The number next to 31 i.e. 363 is the number of the page in the 1862 registry.) The processetti are often in random order, so, when there are cover sheets, the best/fastest way to locate your processetti is to click on each cover sheet which gives you (at the least) the number of the Marriage Record and the names of the spouses. With your records it is pretty clear which images are cover sheets. When there are no cover sheets, then you should be able to identify which image is the first page of a marriage record (there is usually a copy of the marriage record included with the marriage package/attachments, either at the start of each marriage package, or at the end of it.)
