Help searching Italian records for Raffaele Pepe - Naples

Post by Nsondy »

I recently got my great-grandfather's death certificate which told me his parents names, and I am hoping you can help me to use the search in Ancestry.com to find information from Italy. I do have access to the Italian records.

Raffaele Pepe, born March 10, 1855 to Antonio Pepe and Carolina Daria in Naples. According to Raffaele's passport application, he married Colomba Gambardella, born on April 20, 1863 - she was from Torre del Greco.

I am somewhat new at this and am not sure how to search the records for Raffaele. I have received a lot of help from this forum with other lines of inquiry, so I am hopeful someone can guide me. Thank you all so much!

The online marriage records only go to 1860. You could email the town at one of the following email addresses to inquire about an 1880 marriage record. Those records are not on microfilm either.

If you look at page 2 of the birth record that suanj posted for you, in the upper left section of the record, there is a handwritten notation concerning the marriage, giving you the names of the couple, the date of the marriage, and that it took place on Montecalvario.

Suanj - Since you were able to find the birth record for Raffaele Pepe, would the birth record for his wife be available in the same records? She was born in Torre del Greco on April 20, 1863. I think they lived close to each other. I have looked, but I don't know if I am looking in the right place - the province is Napoli?
