Crescenzo from Casalicchio/Casal Velino

Post by michelecrescenzo »

Hello. I'm seeking dual citizenship and have run into a snag. My GGF, Gennaro Crescenzo, has conflicting birthdates, and I don't believe that antenati has records after 1865.

What I thought was his birthdate, according to birth cert., marriage cert., and liste de leva, is 19 Nov 1872.

However his death cert. from the US says 3 Jan 1870, and one document in his A-File says 17 Jan 1870 while another says 17 Jan 1875.

Am I correct that I cannot find this information online? Would I have to go to the comune?

Thank you.

If you have his birth certificate, it must be correct!
Or I missed something
However, I couldn't find resources online, either.

I have his BC because I hired someone to contact the comune, not because it's an heirloom.

My concern is that it might appear to be two different people based on the January dates.

I do know the death certificate lists the same parents as the BC, but is that conclusive evidence? Especially since the birthdate doesn't match.

I think it is, as different dates are only on USA records, and people did not exactly know when they were born, and invented, or just lied.
