Looking for Grandfather's Birth Record: Giovanni Lalli

Post by GiaccomoSF »

I'm not having any luck locating my Maternal Granfather's birth record. On all of his legal documents here in the US, he indicated his birth date & birthplace as: June 7, 1887 in Assergi, Italy. I have checked with L'Aquila & Assergi with no results. I can't seem to locate the stato civile for Paganica (which is another possible birth city).

John Lalli was the youngest of 7 children born to Alessandro Lalli & Orsola Acitelli - we think on June 7, 1887.

Giovanni Lalli è nato da Alessandro Lalli e Orsola Acitelli; la famiglia ha vissuto a Paganica e Assergi. E’ possibile che il mio nonno sia nato a Paganica, Assergi o San Pio delle Camere, non sono sicuro.

Mio nonno era il più giovane di sette figli; ed è nato il 7 giunio 1887; Antonio era il figlio maggiore; poi in ordine di nascita: Teresa, Raffaele, Giambattista, Angelo, Elisabetta, Giovanni (mio nonno).

If anyone can be of assistance - I would be so grateful.

Cheers,

Hello Jim,

Paganica is a frazione (hamlet) of L'Aquila. So the address would be the same as Comune of L'Acquila, I believe.

Do you have the arrival manifest for John/Giovanni? Can you post it?

a possible clue:
in 1906 a Raffaele LALLI immigrated in USA

First Name: Raffaele
Last Name: Lalli
Ethnicity: Italy, Italian South
Last Place of Residence: Pagacuco (PAGANICA)
Date of Arrival: Jul 16, 1906
Age at Arrival: 27y Gender: M Marital Status: M
Ship of Travel: Citta di Torino
Port of Departure: Napoli
Manifest Line Number: 0023
joining at uncle Francesco/Franco Mosca in Philadelphia,PA

http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0023

after some month the son:

First Name: Alessandro
Last Name: Lalli
Ethnicity: Italy, Italian South
Last Place of Residence: Paganica
Date of Arrival: Jan 18, 1907
Age at Arrival: 9m Gender: M Marital Status: S
Ship of Travel: Moltke
Port of Departure: Naples
Manifest Line Number: 0004
with mother Giulia DI Pasquale also immigrated and joining at Raffaele Lalli
http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0004

I believe that Raffaele Lalli was a brother of your Giovanni Lalli..
Giovanni Lalli arrival:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... cc=1921483
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... cc=1921481
coming from Paganica and joining at uncle Franco Mosca in Philadelphia, PA

Because the Giovanni birth record is no in Assergi births as a well in Paganica... but however Giovanni Lalli, Raffaele Lalli, Giulia Di Pasquale Lalli and little Alessandro Lalli all coming from Paganica, surely.. Paganica was the last residence of all.. maybe Raffaele married in Paganica also...
so I searched in Paganica marriage and I found :
Paganica 28 Jan 1904 #5
Raffaele LALLI 24 old single, farmer, born in L'Aquila, resident in Tempera (hamlet of Paganica) son of late Alessando (residing in the life in ASSERGI)and of living Orsola Acitelli resident in Tempera

married at
Giulia DI PASQUALE 22 old proprietor, born in Paganica, resident in Paganica daughter of Luigi and of Bernardina Ferello both resident in Paganica

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... ,349760701
Bacause Giovanni is no born in Assergi, also no born in Paganica, Marty checked in L'Aquila and no luck.. maybe Giovanni was born near these place.. the uncle, Franco Mosca, I believe that coming from San Giovanni... however I will search...

suanj
