Vincenzo D'onofrio - Pietrabbondante - Help finding Birth Record

Post by Gonzalogmg09 »

Hi everyone!

I'm Gonzalo Gorosito from Argentina.

I would need to bother you with some minutes of your time to ask for a favour, basically: I need help finding my AVO's birth record.

My italian AVO was born in Pietrabbondante, his name was: Vincenzo D'onofrio, son of:
  • Giuseppe D'onofrio and
    "Albuccia" Di Salvo (sopranominata: "Domenica", and here in Argentina called: Maria) - It's intrincate because in Argentina her mother was labeled Maria, and in some records added a "Dominga", spanish version of Domenica in Italia /
My research told me the following info about my AVO (Vincenzo):
  • He only born in Italia, then moved to Argentina, where he got married, had my grandmother and later on died.
    He should have born between 1878 and 1880
    He might have come to Argentina with his parents sometime before 1895.
    He could have a brother called: Palmerino D'onofrio, born in 1877.
    His father parents (my AVO's grandfathers) could be: Gaetano D'onofrio, and a Lucia surname: "N"
    I have tried to research through Family Search and Antenati to found something about his birth-record, but I couldn't find any data.
The only records I could, to support the investigation, were these:
Birth Record: Palmerino D'onofrio: http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... 1tvqV7eZoU
Vicenzo's Parents Marriage record: http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... FVU_l5SCcg
Vicenzo's Parents Marriage "Pubblicazioni": http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... 2TrO4TC4qs

Also I've tried to send and email to the comune of Pietrabbondante, asking both:
- My AVO birth record, and
- his parents record (which I knew in advance were there thanks to Antenati, links I shared to the comune, as well the images...)

However...
- On the first email, they answered me really quick and told me +/-: "There isn't any record"
- Then I reply to ask kindly a 2nd time, and they told me: "We got the marriage record, but we couldn't found any record of Vincenzo D'onofrio for those parents..."

I don't know where should I ask?

All in all in on a dead end 🙁

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE!
