RE:DEATH RECORDS INDEXES FOR REGGIO DI CALABRIA

[mezzogiorno62]

1.PAOLO LABATE ( ANTONINO AND GRAZIA IERACA) 2. FORTUNATA LABATE (PAOLO AND MARIA POLITANO) 3. ANTONINO LABATE (PAOLO AND ANNA LAMBERTI) 4.PAOLO LABATE (DOMENICO AND MARIA LABATE) 5.MARIA POLITANO (PAOLO AND FORTUNATA CINEA). 5 DEATHS. THE FIRST 2 PAOLO AND FORTUNATA WERE HUSBAND AND WIFE AND DIED AFTER 1872 WHEN SON ORAZIO WAS BORN. THE 3RD ANTONINO LABATE HUSBAND OF GRAZIA IERACA (GREGORIO AND ANNA MARINO) WHO SURVIVED HIM AND DIED IN 1853. ANTONINO DIED BETWEEN 1827 AFTER THE BIRTH OF SON PAOLO AND 1853 WHEN WIFE GRAZIA DIED. THE 4TH AND 5TH PAOLO LABATE AND MARIA POLITANO PARENTS OF FORTUNATA DIED AFTER THE MARRIAGE OF FORTUNATA TO PAOLO LABATE IN 1859. A BIT CONFUSING WITH ALL THESE DISTINCT BUT SIMILIARLY NAMED PAOLO LABATES. THESE DEATHS SPAN THE YEARS 1827 AND COULD EXTEND AS FAR AS 1927. A CENTURY. ARE THERE ANY INDEXES FOR THE CITY OF REGGIO DI CALABRIA COVERING THIS TIME PERIOD? THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE TRACING THESE DEATHS WOULD BE THROUGH SEARCHING THE INDEXES.

Your ALL CAPS posts are off-putting. That said, use the Window Views tab/icon and then click on the Gallery choice. You will then see the pages in a tile format and can better estimate where your record(s) is/are. At that point, it becomes an "art" form (a feel for it) as to where your records are.

[mezzogiorno62]

thanks. i use caps as theyre clearer to read,stand out better,and easier to correct if i make a mistake. nothing to do with "shouting" as is the common misconception.my strong point is research not formatting and techy stuff.are you responding to my post regarding death records research/indexes in reggio di calabria or my post regarding easier access to records pages at antenati? i'm aware of the setup at familysearch. click on the gallery and jump forward and see where you land. this is the art form at family search. lots of pages can be fast forwarded. on the other hand,although year and record breakdowns are easier at antenati page fast forwarding isn't. as i mentioned,in small comunes with 50 pages or less its relatively quick. not so with large comunes with hundreds of pages per category. you have to go page by page with no gallery option. at antenati i see no option for fast forwarding.

I completely disagree with all caps being "clearer to read", or not being "shouting". As many others probably do. The only "evidence" you need as to that sentiment is that you're probably the only one here who does that (uh, in case you didn't notice). But to each his/her own. The least you could do is throw in some paragraphs. Otherwise, it's like one long, run-on sentence.

As to your substantive comments, like Family Search, it's not rocket science at Antenati either. Generally, I can get pretty close to my precise record, i.e., from the Indici launching point in the Gallery tile format. It definitely is a feel thing and I understand how it might frustrate some. I've been using it off and on for 10+ years now, so I do also concede I might be biased in my opinion there.

All I can add is that, for me, I only wish there was a download option from antenati. You know, instead of a .png copying format (on my MacBook Air). That's where Family Search excels. Otherwise, and absent any lacking content (record years) notwithstanding, I wouldn't change anything on Antenati.

[mezzogiorno62]

once again its not about"shouting" but it works for me. apples and oranges. i gave my reasons and theyre valid and work for me so let everyone else do it their way. just not my way. bigger more relevant criticisms can be made elsewhere. lack of easy page access-going page to page-and lack of gallery access. family search wins hands down. antenati's plus is breakdown by year but thats it. better access in these areas would be a plus. getting back to my original post/question regarding records in reggio calabria,the post you responded to,can you add anything? for the most part,responders to any of my posts actually send useful information not criticism of caps.youre the first in 15 years to do so.

[mjclayton1]

Any criticism aside (and BTW, it's the person reading such a post that decides if it's "SHOUTING" or not) I did respond to your post. Did you not look at the Gallery option screenshot I showed? All you need to do is hit that button. Once the tiles within a given year/period "formulate" (they sort of "cascade" into view), it's then very easy to see where that yearly index is.

As to Reggio Calabria, there a ton of indices there. See below.

i'm familiar with the gallery option. great if antenati did that. plus add a page by page option. or the ability to type in a page number. thanks

[mjclayton1]

This is what the Gallery option looks like in Antenati. There are page numbers. You just need to scroll up or down and choose the page.

The page by page buttons (right and left arrows) are on the bottom.

[mjclayton1]

thanks very much. appreciate it.

You're welcome. I'm sorry if I offended you earlier.

[mezzogiorno62]

agree to disagree. we're all here for the right reasons.

If you want to straight to a particular page, click on the "three lines" you see on the left of "Archivio di Stato di Reggio Calabria > Stato civile della restaurazione > Palme > 1821-1830" (in this case)
You will be shown several icons; click on the third from the top (the one with several lines); you will be shown a list of the pages, and then, you can choose any of them.

thank you
