Hello everyone,
I am looking for the baptism record of my great great grandfather, José Morzan Bucar, whose maternal surname may also appear as Bukle. According to his death record, issued in Lima, Peru, in 1912, José was born in Trieste. Based on the age recorded at the time of his death, I estimate that he was born between 1825 and 1827, when Trieste was part of the Austrian Empire. His parents are named in the death record as:
- Antonio Morzan
- Ana Maria Bucar, possibly recorded as Bukle
José later emigrated to Lima, Peru, where he married in 1848, so he may have left Trieste several years earlier. I have already contacted the parish of Sant’Antonio Taumaturgo, but they informed me that they could not find his baptism record.
Could anyone advise me which other parishes, churches or archives in Trieste should be checked for baptisms from 1825 to 1827? I would also appreciate information about where Catholic parish registers from Austrian-era Trieste are currently preserved. I can provide a copy of José Morzan’s death record if it would be helpful. Thank you very much for any guidance.
