Caputi/Caputo family search

[AngelaGrace56]

Hello again Angela!
Thank you so so very much! I can't even begin to express how amazed I am! All that information you already found me is way more than I expected. This is honestly so awesome I have been stuck for so long. Thank you so much for looking further into it, you didn't have to do that. I am so happy to now have this information! I never thought I would be able to see past my great grandfather so this is actually really cool. Thank you again for the updates and I will keep my eye out for your replies!
Mylee

You are very welcome. I am really happy to help.

I've located Giuseppe Fruguglietti and Rosolia Pricolo's marriage record afterall. I went back and rechecked. They were married in 1870 so later than I thought:

1870 Marriage No 2: Giuseppe Fruguglietti and Rosolia Pricolo
Saponara di Grumento 2 June 1870

Groom: Giuseppe Fruguglietti, celibe (unmarried), 33 yo (c.1837), a contadino, born and living here, the son of the deceased Vincenzo Fruguglietti, who had lived here when he was alive, and of Carmela Spadafora, a contadina, living here with her son.

Bride: Rosolia Pricolo, nubile (unmarried), 29 yo (c.1841), a contadina, born and living here, the daughter of Giuseppe Pricolo and of Arcangiola di Tommaso, both contadini, living here with their daughter....

All for now as I have visitors soon.

I was a bit puzzled by Giuseppe and Rosolia's 1870 Marriage when their daughter Raffaella's year of birth pointed to circa 1867 so decided to look for Raffaella's birth record, and she was indeed born in 1867:

Here is Raffaella Fruguglietti’s 1867 birth record, No 101, left page. She was born on 15 October 1867, to Rosolia Pricolo, daughter of Giuseppe (Pricolo). Giuseppe Fruguglietti reported the birth and she was born in his? home. Raffaella’s 1887 marriage with Vincenzo Caputi is noted in the left column of the birth record, just under Raffaella’s name. I suspect her parents had only been married in the church at this stage, and then later, in 1870 had a Civil Marriage.

And here are the details from Giuseppe Fruguglietti's 1817 Death Record:

Death No 17: Giuseppe Fruguglietti
Registered Grumento Nova: 23 July 1917

Appearing were Vincenzo Caputi, 55 yo, musicante, living in Saponara di Grumento, and Antonio Bafunno, 61 yo, contadino, living in this town. They reported that at 8.30 pm, yesterday (22 July 1917) at 8.30 pm in the house in via Mancoso, No 53, Giuseppe Fruguglietti died. He was 80 yo (c.1837), a contadino, who was born in, and had resided in Saponara di Grumento when living. He was the son of Vincenzo Fruguglietti, a contadino, and of Carmela Spadafora, both deceased, who had both lived in the town when living. Giuseppe was the husband of Rosolia Pricolo.

Death Records post 1910 are only online at Ancestry at this stage. I've attached a cropped copy of the Death Record here.

[AngelaGrace56]

You are most welcome. I've located some more documents which I'll post in due course. Unfortunately I was unable to post them when I located them as the Forum seemed to be having some issues. Just watch this space and I'll post them when I get a minute.

1834 Marriage Vincenzo Fruguglietti and Carmela/Carmina Spadafora
(Parents of Giuseppe Fruguglietti married to Rosolia Pricolo)

Promise to Marry declared Saponara on 1 June 1834
Married the same day in the Parish of Saponara

Groom: Vincenzo Fruguglietto, 31 yo, born in Saponara, a contadino, living in Saponara, the son of Giuseppe Fruguglietto, a contadino, living in Saponaro and the deceased Rosa Latronico,

Bride: (Carmina) Spadafora, 17 yo, born in Saponara, daughter of the deceased Antonio (Spadafora), and of the deceased Rosanna Mollica.

Amongst the marriage attachments were:
Birth Records of groom and bride
Death Records of the father, mother and paternal grandfather and grandmother of the bride

Allegati start here: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 23/wO8RpmJ

Here is Carmela Spadafora's Birth Extract (1817) shown the name Carmela
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 23/LzKBgbQ

Here is the original 1817 Birth Record:
1817 Birth Record No 11: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 40/w1A938O
Names given on actual Birth Record were Carmina, Clementina, Clementa/e but no mention of the name Carmela, so it seems that Giuseppe Fruguglietti’s mother went by the name of Carmela, as is written on both Giuseppe's birth and death records??? (I didn’t locate a marriage between a different Vincenzo Fruguglietti and Carmela Spadafora so I’d say Carmela and Carmina are the same people.)

All of the information you've provided me with is astounding. I could cry, I thought I would be lost forever. Thank you again and again a million times I don't know what else to even say to express my appreciation for your help. This is wonderful truly!

[AngelaGrace56]

My absolute pleasure, Mylee. (It's what we do here ) I've really enjoyed researching familar names from Grumento Nova again, and was stoked to find those death records bringing you back into 1700's. Just ask if you have any questions.

Angela

[parkergambino]

Since I have a Caputo relative I wandered into reading this thread. There's an element of "luck of the draw" concerning the overlap of available expertise and a particular name or geographic location that brings that expertise to focus; Mylee, you hit the jackpot!

While my philosophy is to pay forward, it certainly does feels exasperating when considerable effort is put forth and the reply is ..... crickets .......

Grumpy old men like me (not sure how old Mark is) sometimes wonder what the correct expectation is for patience. And there have been people who return to pick up a thread YEARS later, confounding the calculation. So thanks to Mylee for the quick followup, and later a chance for you to pay forward.

[mOja-Caputi]

To Angela, thank you once more for the wonderful information you’ve found for me! I came to ask for advice and instead you found me and decided to help me out from the goodness of your heart! I appreciate you so so much and I’m so glad you were able to help me. You’re a very kind woman and my grandmother also wants to say thank you! She doesn’t remember much about my grandfathers family so she could never help me out much. She is also so amazed at the information you found, she finds it very interesting and is glad to have learned more about my late grandads family. I hope you have a wonderful year. All the love in the world!
To Parker, I agree I did get extremely lucky! She helped me out of a rut, I’ve been looking for over a year now and just could never piece anything together myself. There was lots of confusion. I’m so very grateful for her and her knowledge that she decided to share with me. I certainly understand how that would feel to help someone and get zero acknowledgment, I hope she knows how important this was to me haha I think I’ve repeated thank you a hundred times now, I just don’t know how else to express the gratitude. If I am ever in a position to pay it forward I surely will.

[AngelaGrace56]

The last two posts here have blessed me so much. Thank you Parker and Mylee for your kind and encouraging words. I feel like all my Christmases have come at once!!!

I’m also delighted to read about your grandmother, Mylee. Bless her.

Mylee, I remember being in a very similar situation to you in 2012 when I very nervously signed up to this forum and asked for help locating some records. I was overwhelmed by the response and support I got here. This Forum has been a fantastic place to grow and keep growing as a Genealogist.

Now that I have a little spare time again this week, I’ve had another look at your Tree to see where I might be able to take you back further on other branches. Because Civil Records didn’t start until 1809/10 in the town, and because most of the records I’m now needing predate 1809/10, I’m searching a bit differently. I have managed to locate some records and will post some shortly. I just need to do a recheck, because sometimes when using “Extracts” of death records, there are clerical errors in them or the wrong record has been located.

Angela

[AngelaGrace56]

From the 1834 marriage record of Giuseppe Pricolo and Arcangiola di Tommaso (Rosolia Pricolo’s parents) we learned that Arcangiola di Tommaso’s parents were Gerardo di Tommaso and Rosa Caputi. I looked for Rosa Caputi’s death record but there were some years missing so haven’t located her death record, as yet. I did however locate Gerardo di Tommaso’s death record bringing you back another year and giving you another family name. Gerardo’s parents were Bernardo di Tommaso and Arcangiola di Dio:

1855 Death No 35 – Gerardo di Tommaso (Sometimes spelt with one m)
Registered Saponara on 24 June 1855, died in Saponara 23 June 1855

Gerardo di Tommaso, 70 yo (c. 1785), a contadino, living in Saponara, was the son of the deceased Bernardo di Tommaso, who had also been a contadino, and of the deceased Arcangiola di Dio. He was the husband of Rosa Caputi.

I also located Veronica Pricolo’s 1813 Death Record. (She was the maternal grand-mother of Giuseppe Pricolo. Unfortunately, it doesn’t give the names of her parents, just that she was the widow of Giuseppe Sacco and date of death:

1813 Death No 76: Veronica Pricolo, 58 yo (1755), a Filatrice (spinner), died in her own home, Strada Spirito Santo, Saponara on 12 November 1813. She was the widow of Giuseppe Sacco, a Bracciale (day labourer). Unfortunately her parents names are not given on her Death Record.
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 32/5YYv8Dg


From Rosolia Sacco’s brother’s marriage record I read that their father, Giuseppe Sacco, died on 23 September 1790, but there is no other information given about him:

Marriage No 7: Giuseppe Pricolo and Rosa Pricolo
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 27/58oDgj7
Pubblication here: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 22/5vrdpxp

(You can see how popular the name Pricolo appears in the town.)

[mOja-Caputi]

Wow indeed i do see how popular that last name is! Thank you again, I appreciate you taking your time to help me out! I was very nervous posting on here for help but you made it so much better! You are just the sweetest person. I apologize for not being on here to reply the past few days, I just got my first job! Haha I hope you're doing great! Thank you again for the new information I appreciate you!

[AngelaGrace56]

.... I apologize for not being on here to reply the past few days, I just got my first job! Haha I hope you're doing great! Thank you again for the new information I appreciate you!

No worries at all, Mylee. I had only just posted my latest findings a few hours before you saw my last post here. A first job!!! How exciting. I hope you really enjoy it. Best to you
