Looking for information on my Great-Great-Grandparents.
My Great-Grand Parents are:
Nicola Califano
B: 15 Jun 1874 in Pagani, Campania, Italy
D: 24 Feb 1969 in Brooklyn, NY
Teresa Farina
B: 4 Oct 1879 in Pagani, Campania, Italy
D: 30 Oct 1942 in Brooklyn, NY
Married on 14 Dec 1898.
Arrived in USA on 16 May 1900
I have Census, ship and naturalization information for them.
Parents of Nicola:
Father: Alfonso Califano
Mother: Angela LaFemina
Parents of Teresa:
Father: Marchiore Farina
Mother: Carolina Cioffi
Since Great-Grand parents were married before immigration, I am assuming that they both wre from Pagani.
Thanks,
John

Re: Califano - Farina
On the advice of another forum member, I was advised that Pagani is not very cooperative in answering requests. Since I have family members from that comune I wrote to the Salerno Archives for the requested information.
The Archives responds very quickly. You can use one of the form letters as suggested but I would copy it into an email and send to the Salerno Archives at:
as-sa@beniculturali.it
(leave out the spaces in the address)
You will have better success than to write to Pagani.

Hi,
I spoke with my Uncle and he gave me more information about my Great-grandfather.
The church they attended in Pagani is Parrocchia S. Alfonso (Basilica St. Alphonso).
Does anyone know if records are available? Do they respond to communications?
Thanks.
John

Re: Califano - Farina
I received an email back from the Salerno Archives:
dalla ricerca effettuata nelle Liste di leva del comune di Pagani risulta il seguente documento:
- Lista di leva di Nicola Califano di Alfonso e Angiola La Femina, nato a Pagani il 15 giugno 1874
I registri dello Stato Civile di Salerno e provincia, conservati da questo Istituto vanno dal 1809 al 1865, pertanto siamo impossibiltati a reperire gli atti di nascita sia del sig. Nicola Califano che della sig. Teresa Farina.
Qualora fosse interessato a ricevere copia dell'atto suddetto dovrebbe inviare per le spese di copia e spedizione la somma di euro 8,00 tramite Western Union intestato Sonia Nardiello Archivio di Stato Piazza Abate Conforti, 7- 84121 Salerno e l'indirizzo civico per la spedizione.
Distinti saluti
Il funzionario responsabile
dott.ssa Fernanda Maria Volpe
Il dirigente
dott.ssa Imma Ascione
From online translators I believe they are says that they do not have birth records but do have a Military record.
Has anyone sent money via Western Union? What is the exact address. Hard to tell from the email.
Thanks, John
