Deciphering maiden name -help-

[Sus80]

So, a porter, facchio, at the time would that be a sort of conductor or really a baggage carrier?
Definitely not a gravedigger? (Not that I would prefer that

The funny thing is, from that part of the family comes the idea that there was a Marquise in the family (the grandmother used to say her aunt or so was a Marquise). If that idea should come from Maggiorina, I understand why she would make up such a thing, hard times for orphans!

Marty

Oh, a mason, in 1896! Almost overlooked this tidbit

Thank you all so much!!

[Tessa78]

Yes, by 1896, he was a "muratore" (mason).

In 1899, he is a farmer; and in 1905, he is a pastry chef.

Facchino was more like a carter/hauler

T.

[Sus80]

He had many talents!

Thank you


For Antonio Bazzurro's father, Andrea, I have a suggestion on FamilySearch, one

Andrea Bazzurro, born 1837 in Struppa, Genova, Genova, Italy.
-No- name for the wife (Rosa Siri!!?) and a suggestion for his parents

Giovanni Battista Bazzurro, and Maria Bazzurro.

1837 as birth year would go well with Antonio's age for a son...

The information was added manually, no records.

Oh my God, today is such a lucky day!! Thank you, Marty!
We are getting into 18th century territory here
Carlo Bazzurro, so it's not the Bazzurro I thought I found, good to know!
He may have married twice, given his wife is so much younger(Rosa Siri)!

[Sus80]

Oh wow, thank you!
I just managed to find the actual record collections, but Struppa I still only find by clicking on the collections in your links, haha.

Sooo, there would be a young Carlo as well here, could have been named after the grandfather Carlo Bazzurro and either be one of Andrea's sons or of course Antonia's child!
Names tended to stay in the family, that makes Antonia a likely candidate because there is an Antonio Bazzurro in the family

[Sus80]

P.S. Uh, yes, how about scrolling down to find Struppa..., I'm not usually this dense!
You are way ahead of me now, perhaps I can try to find the Siri family!

[Tessa78]

Here is the death act in 1868 of Carlo Bazurro -
Declaring the death were his sons, GioBattista Bazurro, age 58, and

FYI - the Antonia Bazurro in the death act that Marty posted was unmarried...

T.

[Sus80]

Okay I'm squealing again, haha!
So there is Carlo Bazzurro with Rosa Bazzurro again, that supports Marty's find!

[Tessa78]

Yes, another "connection"

As you search through the records for Struppa you will find MANY Bazurro names. It will take some time to view the record and assess if the names in the record connect with your family. Enjoy the journey!

You know:
GioBattista Bazurro (b. about 1780) and Rosa Bazurro had children:
GioBattista (b. about 1810)
Andrea (b. about 1813)
Antonia (b. about 1814)

PS - Online records for Struppa begin in 1866.

Unmarried! Okay, so looking out for a Carlo who was probably another son of Andrea and born around 1860. I'm just wrapping my head around all the new names and dates to make sure it all fits and nothing excludes the other!

Thank you!!!

Yes, you must be sure they connect. Continue to look for and chart the findings you have... As I said, there are MANY Bazurro in Struppa
