Sabato was born in Albiano.

Maria was born in Fosciandora.

Thanks, Livio and Angela. Much appreciated. I'm trying to better understand the two towns/hamlets mentioned (Albiano and Fosciandora) and where Family Search "hides" (stores) those records. In the Wiki web-site for Barga, there are noted frazioni for:

Castelvecchio Pascoli
Filecchio
Fornaci di Barga
Mologno
Ponte all'Ania
Sommocolonia
Renaio
Tiglio

Do Albiano and/or Fosciandora fall under any of those towns (for example, like Badia di Cantignano falls under Cappanori - south of the City of Lucca)? Or are these hamlets simply under the (larger) umbrella of Barga? The Family Search web-site doesn't break down/out any of these hamlets from Barga.

Thanks.

There are two frazione (hamlets) named Albiano in the Province of Lucca.

Albiano, Comune of Barga, Lucca (Toscana)
https://www.familysearch.org/search/cat ... =808030-50

Albiano, Comune of Minucciano, Lucca (Toscana)
https://www.familysearch.org/search/cat ... =826459-50

And...
Fosciandora, Comune of Fosciandora, Lucca (Toscana
https://www.familysearch.org/search/cat ... =954173-50

The records would be held in the comune.

Hi, T! Thanks for this. I was generally looking at the Family Search records, but couldn't understand why I wasn't able to find Maria Fontana's Birth record. Likely, ca. 1875. Since there's a wide gap in yearly records online for Albiano and Fosciandora (must be held in the comune as you say), I was hoping they'd instead be under Barga? Perhaps not...

That's what I was more or less driving at here.

Good to hear from you!

Mark, with limited online records, should you manage to get back further, there are just a few very early records here for

Fosciandora: http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... sciandora/

Albiano: http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... o/Albiano/


Best to you,
Angela
