I'm looking for my Grandfather. I have two conflicting given names, James & Vincent surname Petruccio. He lived in Cleveland Ohio in the early 1900's. Married Rose De Tomaso. Don't know when. They had at least 4 surviving kids, Dominic Anthony, Gus, Lucille & Adaline, one or two others died in the flu epedemic of 1918. All siblings are now dead. 1930 cenus doesn't list grandfather. It has Rose as widowed. Gus was born in Italy in 1899. I'm having a terrible time getting birth certificates for my father, Dominic & Lu.
Can antone help???
I've been trying to get them from Ohio. My Dad was born in 1902 in Cleveland. Their records start at 1908! & my Aunt Lu was born in 1906. As for Gus, I haven't a clue as to where to start.
Any help would be great!
Ohio started keeping records in 1867 on a county level. Some counties even earlier. You may have to check Cuyahoga county as well as Cleveland. I have done some research in Cleveland records and their were notes about missing records.

HI;
Has someone found something about Petrucci? My grand-mother was Faustina Petrucci from Vico Pancellorum or Bagni Di Lucca. Born June 23, 1903. Her father was Pietro Petrucci and mother was (I think) Adèle Vitali. I would like to find ancestor of Pietro or Adèle.
My grand-mother married Eliseo Zerbini in 1920 and he was the son of Cherubino Zerbini and Catherina Barsanti. Again I would like to find ancestor of Cherubino and Catherina also from Bagni di Lucca or Ponte Maggio or Vico.
Any help would be great!
Thank you
Lucie
Hello Lucie,
you can request the copy of birth act of your grandmother.
On this document there is written names of parents and age.
With these informations you can research in the past easily, trying to find Pietro and Adele birth act, where there is written names and ages of each parent of them.
I hope I was clear

Lucie,
if you use the dates on the tombstones, it can be really helpful to reach the birth, marriage and death record of your ancestors, also having the name of the town, you can easily write to the civil record office,

One of the most fun things that I discovered in my research was finding my look alike ancestor, Prince Marino Caracciolo II.
