Cima family

[Piera]

I am looking for information about my grandfather's family. His name was Giovanni Cima of La Spezia, Italy. His wife was Maria Rosa Stagnari of Gabbiana, near Bagnone in upper Toscana(Val Magra). I believe there are also Cimas in Genova, Torino, Milano and Rome. I would appreciate any help in contacting them, and also in putting together a geneology. He worked in the Arsenale in La Spezia. I don't know his date of birth or the parish where he may have been baptized. I do know he was married in Gabbiana or Bagnone, and that he died in La Spezia in the 1970's or 1980's.

Need to identify a date of birth. What documents have you collected so
far?

Thank-you so much for your help. I will e-mail on Monday. I don''t know if he was actually born in LaSpezia, but his entire family came from there. If he was born there, is there a city wide registry of births for the period around 1900, and could I contact them?

For some reason there is no microfilm of the civil records housed in the Mormon church family history library nearest your home (if ava)ilable you could rent it). It maybe that the records may have been destroyed in the war since La Spezia was a naval base that also had submarine pens that was bombed fiercely and much damage occurred. You will have to write to the Ufficio di Stato Civile in La Spezia. Go to www.nonsolocap.it and put in La spezia and after clicking click on La Spezia and look for the municipio address halfway down.
