You can write to Casacalenda to request Giuseppe and Concetta's birth and marriage acts, like this:

(my apologies if you live in Canada in which case change the instances of "STATI UNITI D'AMERICA - USA" to "CANADA")

Birth/marriage/death photocopies of original registry pages are called: Copia integrale dell'atto di Nascita/Matrimonio/Morte. These are more difficult to read but contain lots of additional useful information compared to...

Birth/marriage/death computer-generated (sometimes hand-written) extracts are: Estratto Per Riassunto Per Atto Di Nascita/Matrimonio/Morte

Most comuni do not charge for these documents. Do send a large, self-addressed (but not stamped) envelope if possible; be sure to put "STATI UNITI D'AMERICA - USA" in the final line of your address. It is also a good idea to include a copy of your ID (driver's license, for example) as some comuni will not process requests without it.

Alternatively, you can try sending the above via e-mail to info@casacalendacomune.it - some comuni respond well to email requests; others not at all.

This is August and therefore vacation time in Italy; many government offices operate with minimal hours and skeleton crew if they open at all. Therefore, you may find your request will take longer than usual to process.

Once you have received these atti, you will find they contain the names, ages, and birthplaces of Giuseppe's and Concetta's parents. You can then write again and request birth and marriage atti for them as well.

PS: "incerto" means uncertain.

I did have most of these papers, but i would like the birth and marriage certificate, so i will use the informations.

[rancelli]

sometimes i feel that it's a waste of time requesting documents. if you know the commune where your ancestors originated from, i would take that route and order the films at your local FHC, that's if you have the time and if the records are available. just my opinion

i'm still waiting on a copy of a birth record from alanno italy. i sent a request out about two months ago and heard nothing from them. so i gave up, and decided to order the alanno films and was lucky enough to find the record myself. i'm not saying this happens all the time, but so far it's happened to me twice. good luck

[marcoglieselise]

I went to the village, and did find the place and manage to see some stuff, but couldn't speak good enough to ask copies and I didn't have any appointment so they didn't had the time to fulfill my needs, It will be the second time I am asking for the paers, but I still have hope.

I have access to the records. I will check out these names on my next trip to the library.

Back Soon,

Susan

I coopied the records...and as luck would have it, the library had a power interruption and I lost all the documents. Two and a half hours just dissappeared. As luck would have it I wrote down as I went...which I don't often do anymore. So here is the info You will have to wait for the originals.

I will check again when I can.

Have a great day.
