Help finding a database

Post by ImWalkinHere! »

Hi All,

I am looking for the civil birth records of my ancestor, Egidio Lepre born in 1882 in the Province of Salerno, the commune of Prignano Cilento in the frazione of Melito. When I go on the antenati website, I can not find the year 1882--it shows births only from 1800-1850.

I know I found it at one point years ago, but for the life of me I can not figure out how I was able to find the births in the year 1882! Any help finding this would be very helpful as I am trying to find the other years where his siblings may have been born as well. Finding this database is key to retracing my ancestry.

Attached is a picture of his birth certificate and the volume it was found in.

Hi Tessa

I've just located those two births myself:

1874 Birth No 34 Donatella Lepre, daughter of Raffaele Lepre (son of deceased Giuseppe), 49 yo, and of his wife Fortunata Lembo (of deceased Sabbato), 36 yo, contadini possidenti. Donatella born 16 September 1874.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... 6204&i=147

1878 Birth No 25 Rubina Lepre
Registered 9 July 1878
Rubina born 8 July 1878, Via Vicinanza, No 7, to Raffaele Lepre, 50 yo, bracciante, and his wife Fortunata Lembo, a contadina, living with him.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... 6204&i=234


and, I believe there may have been more children because according to their 1873 marriage record, Raffaele was "Angelo Raffaele". I haven't got time now to go back and look for children born to Angelo Lepre, but you may have.

Here is the 1873 Marriage Record No 11: Angelo Raffaele Lepre and Fortunata Lembo:

You are most welcome for the help. As I noticed that Tessa had already signed off after I had posted, I did go back later to ensure that I hadn't missed a birth record where the father was named Angelo instead of Raffaele and I didn't see any such records. As I was going through the records in the first instance, I was checking that both father and mother tallied anyway, but thought I'd check anyway, to be certain.
