lol. THANK YOU Angela. A friend that is helping me research the D'Amico family found the Marriage document and I believe the Marriage Allegati. Quite honestly I am not sure what type of documents they really are yet because its all written in Italian (no forms). I have a hard time with those. Once I figure out what the heck they are I will be sending them for interpretation. Thank you so much for all your help!!!!! Joe

Well that is interesting because I decided to search for the Marriage Pubblication in case there was any added information:

Here is the Marriage Pubblication No 83: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=1483039


It doesn’t give any added information apart from the fact that the town had received on 5 December copies of the birth certificates of each of the “spouses to be” as well as a copy of the death certificate of the bride’s first husband, but it gives no other information about him, that I can see. It should be among the allegati, hopefully.

Marriage Allegati (attachments) are the supporting documents that a bride and groom presented before they married – things like each of their birth records, their parents death records where applicable, a previous spouses death record where applicable, paternal grandparent’s death record where applicable and so on.

Great. There are three actual civil records included in Sebastiano and Maria's marriage package (allegati) as follows:

Page 304: This is The Cover Page of the Register/Package
It gives the year of marriage 1890, the groom and bride’s names, the number of the marriage record i.e. 85, and the number of documents that it includes i.e. 4.

Pages 305-306 Sebastiano’s 1855 birth record extract - Birth Act No 69

Page 308-309: Maria Riccioli’s 1852 birth record extract – Birth Act No 230

Page 310-311: 1885 Death Record Extract of Catarino Gaetano Castrogiovanni – Bride’s First Husband

The other document would’ve been the pubblication, but it is not there, just a cover page for it (Page 307), but I have already located this for you.

You could either post these separately, or I could take a look at them later. All these records are from the same town and what I generally do is just use the allegati as a guide, and search for the original records, because often there can be clerical errors in the allegati. That is what I would suggest you do if those earlier records are online.

Great, Thank you SOOOO much. I will post separately if you don't have a chance to look at it later. I am on the way out of the house but will try and post later if its not too late when I get back. You guys are the greatest and I appreciate you so much.
