Giusti Family in Santa Maria del Giudice, Italy

Post by LarryGiusti »

Hi,
I am new to this site.

My Grandparents came to the USA from Santa Maria del Giudice, Italy in 1914

I can find lots of information on them after 1914 but nothing on them when they were in Italy.

How would I find birth certificates, marriage certificates or anything about them or their relatives in Italy?

These are the towns they were from.
Santa Maria del Giudice, Italy
Santa Maria del Giudice logo detlo in lama
Santa Maria, Lucca, Toscana, italy

These are my relatives all born in Italy.
Any information on any of them would be quite helpful.

Corinna Maria Giusti b. 10 Dec 1891
Lorenzo Giusti b. about 1880

Marty,

That is great work!
They are all related to me.

This is the first time anybody ever found anything from Italy about my relatives.

How did you find them?
I tried a search on familysearch.org and came back with nothing.

How would I search for my other relatives?

Thanks

In searching Italian civil records you have birth(nati) death(morte) marriage (matrimoni) by year most go from 1866-1910 some towns have other years. Indexes are found at the beginning or end of the year you are searching by index number and surname.There are also multi year indexes which combine 5 or 10 years of indexes

Thanks that's quite helpful.
At first I could not figure out why the births were not in any date order.
Then I realized that most babies were born at home and the parents probably went into town a few months to a year or more later to register the birth.

Babies are born then presented to the civil official of the town usually within a few days of birth for entry in the birth registry. If there is a problem and they cant register the birth act until much later they are entered in the Parte 2 for that year usually in the rear of the records and that record is usually handwritten. Sometimes there are sidenotes with marriage or death information or if the act has a mistake in it a correction to those mistakes
Birth acts are signed by the civil official and 2 witnesses not usually family members

iv. ETRIE GIUSTI.

Generation No. 2
2. EDWARD PETER2 GIUSTI (ANECITO1) was born September 02, 1886 in Lucca, Italy, and died March 26, 1969 in Galveston, Texas. He married MABEL JULIA HANSEN, daughter of HAGBART HANSEN and ELIZABETH WERN. She was born March 11, 1895 in Galveston, Texas, and died May 22, 1948 in Galveston, Texas.
Children of EDWARD GIUSTI and MABEL HANSEN are:
5. i. VALERIE ELIZABETH3 GIUSTI, b. June 11, 1917, Grandma Hansen's Home, 3914 Ave. K., Galveston, Texas.

Hi everybody!

I am from Argentina and my grandmother’s family came from Santa Maria del Giudice too. Her grandfather eat Ettore Giovanni Nicola and I could find him on the multi years list Adelfio provided us with! I am really thankful but I still cannot understand how to find his atto di nascita in these archives.
I know these publications are pretty old but could anyone please help me? On the list it appears he was born in 1869, his father was Antonio and the number of register is 1409.

Thank you!!!
