Hi everyone! My Grandmother's last name is Ferdinadi. I can trace up to Giovanni Battista Ferdinandi

He was married to:
Antonietta Luiga Maglio

Pontecorvo was part of the Papal States and did not keep civil records until 1870 or so. You will need to have the parish records searched.

I do not believe so but there may be some on microfilm at the nearest Mormon family history library. www.familysearch.org for location. =Peter=

The Parish records from Pontecorvo are not in great shape and are missing years from more than one parish. They are not microfilmed or posted on the internet. The priest does permit searches.

Peter, read my post again. The priest DOES permit searches, you don't have to hire his nephew.

Hi, I think I may be linked/related to the line of Ferdinandi's from Pontecorvo but I have so little information I am not sure. My grandfather was Emilio Ferdinandi, he was born in St Andrews, Scotland in 1909 to a Francesco Ferdinandi and a Domenica Ferdinandi. They were married in Caserta in 1903. Ferdinandi also seems to have been her maiden name. He had been living in Scotland from at least 1901 and it looks like he came home to get married and then they returned to Scotland where they had all their children, Annie, Peppina, Antonio, Michelle and my grandfather Emilio. That's all I know about them.

I have been told I still have family living in Pontecorvo but I was also told something about the family name being changed either to Aceti or from Aceti. No one seems to know for sure and I'm not sure if my side changed their name or the family in Italy did. I was also told my Grandad was moved back to Italy when he was still a child but has to leave suddenly due to some sort of scandal in the early to mid 1930's. It seems he then went back to Scotland to stay with an Uncle for a bit with a view to then moving on to America where he had another uncle but he met my Nan and decided not to.

I was also told the family had some sort of link to the Forte family. There seems to be some truth to that as my Grandad was living with a couple of Forte men in Southampton England in 1939.

If I am related to this line can anyone possibly point me in the direction of where I might find out more please?

Thanks

Dean
