Looking for Parish Priest

[cjs1218]

I contacted the Archdiocese of Rieti to inquire about finding a baptismal record for an ancestor born in 1760 in Roccapassa, a hamlet of Amatrice. I read somewhere that records from Roccapassa would be there in the archdiocese's archives in Rieti. Unable to locate the records online, I emailed the archives to see if they actually had them and they said that I had to find the parish priest of the church that would have these records and contact him. What I do know is that the Church in Roccapassa became apart of the Parish of San Sebastiano Martire in Scai in Amatrice in 1986. What I don't know is how to find any contact information like an email address for a parish priest for San Sebastiano Martire. Thank you in advance for the help!

The san Sebastiano martire in Scai had great damages from earthquake on 2016

to see the pictures, it is totally damaged, so the archive of church records Roccapassa church I don't know if they were here or remained in Roccapassa. From what I read the church records of Amatrice and hamlets are been transferred in the diocesan archive in Rieti. But but according to their internal regulations they do not carry out research and accredited, qualified and motivated scholarlycan have free access, subject to a regular request http://archivio.chiesadirieti.it/access ... ultazione/ to be sent and must be accepted by the diocesan archive.


Since it is quite difficult, I believe that the best thing is to search among the MARRIAGE PROCESS (Processett matrimoniali), i.e. the completion of all the formalities and certificates required to be able to get married, which in Amatrice start from 1809. Since the consent of the grandparents and sometimes great-grandparents of the engaged couple was also required , at the time they were often deceased and presented the ecclesiastical death certificate, where in any case it is possible to know the age and the name of the parents, which are always useful information. So if you can find any MARRIAGE PROCESS of a son or daughter or grandson of your ancestor, you can know more.

Thank you for the reply, it's impossible to find any processetti records for the ancestor who's baptism record I am looking for as he was married before 1809. As for processetti records for his children, I have already had a look at those and they were of no use to me and it didn't have any information regarding his parents or grandparents.

That of the marriage of a man born around 1760 there is no the"Processetto" since 1809 is normal, he was certainly already married. If his children were married, the processetto of their marriage must be there as well as the ecclesiastical death certificates of grandparents and sometimes great-grandparents, they are definitely in Latin and you probably didn't understand or underestimated them. However, at least the death record of the person born in 1760 can be searched and at least there you will find the names of the parents.
If he was born he will also be dead, right?

I looked at his children's processetti records countless times and only their baptismal records were included in their files and not baptismal records for the parents, let alone grandparents or great grandparents. In regards to a death record for my ancestor born in 1760, I was able to find one and it listed his parents. My goal is to find his grandparents.

I meant church certificates of DEATH not baptism. As I said, the death certificates replaced the consent given while alive. If parents, grandparents or great-grandparents were deceased at the time of marriage of these children of your ancestor, there should be a religious certificate of death. If they were alive, they gave their consent verbally, of course. The death certificate was useful precisely to say that no consent to the marriage could be given since they were dead. If you have found the his sons or daughters PROCESSETTO and have read them, you will also have read that near the parent's name there is no word "fu" which means deceased and therefore he was alive at that time. But sooner or later they will also be dead and you can always look the records for them.
However, to resolve your situation, since you are interested in the baptismal record, you should hire a genealogist to carry out the research in the diocesan archive. Otherwise there is no solution.
