Having trouble finding birth certificate
I'm trying to obtain my great grandmothers birth certificate. Her birth was recorded in the county of Bajo in Torino, Piemonte, Italy. I sent a request to "Comune di Borgofranco D'Ivrea". I received a response of no record, I assume I sent the request to the wrong comune for this area. I cannot find Bajo on any google searches, I assume this county no longer exists. I was going to send a request to "Citta di Ivrea" and "Comune di Ivrea" next to see if they can find the records. Does anyone have any knowledge of this area or the proper place to send the requests? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The full name of the frazione (hamlet) is Baio Dora (the "j" you see is actually a "long i")Shanegillespie1 wrote: 01 Aug 2017, 05:47 I'm trying to obtain my great grandmothers birth certificate.

Re: Having trouble finding birth certificate
Thank you so much Tessa! I was curious why it said "Bajo", from my understanding there is no "J" In the Italian language. My great grandmothers name was "Anna Francesca Gauna" and she was born April 8th 1892. She married my great grandfather who's name is "Carlo Sitton". Carlo was born August 28th 1889 in Riese (TV).

I believe the surname may have been Gnorra originally, as it is found in Borgofranco d'Ivrea.adelfio wrote: 02 Aug 2017, 14:59 How sure of her last name of Guana are you? Did she settle in the US?

Re: Having trouble finding birth certificate
I have attached the documents that I used to obtain this information. I do have her death certificate and naturalization documents. She traveled to Canada and then to the United States where she stayed till she died. I contacted Borgofranco and I have included their response.
