Bussotti Family

[frantastik]

Hello,
How can I find information about my father's family? I know that he, Carlo Bussotti was born in Florence in 1922 to Gino and Bianca Bussotti and that he had two siblings Giuliana and Gigliola. Other than this I know nothing about any of my ancestors and I am very curious. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you! I had found this as well but what I was hoping for was to find out who Giuliana and Carlo's grandparents were. So where did Gino Bussotti and Bianca come from? The heritage of Giuliana's husband Gian Carlo can be traced to the 1400's as they are direct decendants of very well known families. Thank you anyway for your efforts and please let me know if find out anything about the Bussotti lineage. Have a great day

Well, as you know Carlo Bussotti's birth date you can write to the Comune of Florence and ask for his "copia integrale dell'atto di nascita" were you can find also his parents names and ages...

You can find here the address:

http://www.comune.fi.it/opencms/export/ ... rafici.htm

From http://stevemorse.org/ssdi/ssdi.html

Here you can find form letters in italian:

There is a free site you can check to find Baptism records for child born in the town of Florence from 1450 to 1900 (until 1935 all the child born in Florence were baptized in the Battistero di San Giovanni):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Baptistry

Here is the link to the Baptism Archives:
http://www.operaduomo.firenze.it/battes ... _carte.asp

I checked the archives and found four Gino Bussotti (baptized from 1880 to 1900, birth years: 1880-1891-1894-1899)... You'll need to ask for Carlo's birth act and read his father age to determine which is the right one...
On the birth act you'll find also Carlo's mother maiden name and then you can check her baptism record too...

Tell me if you need other help...

Hello!
If you don't have his mother's maiden name, it will also be on your father's SS Application
Valarie

Social Security Application SS-5

His SS# is available here if you don’t already have it:

Hi Laura

Hello Frantastik!

I sent you a pm....

Mi dispiace Laura che non capisco. Cosa vuol dire "PM?" Sto abbaztanza male di salute e devo prendere queste maledette medicine che non mi fanno pensare bene. Communque, mi fa piacere che mi stai aiutando con questo progetto. (project? )Sono americana, pero ho preso la cittadinanza italiana insieme con la mia figlia e mi sembra piu importante ora sapere da dove vengano i nostri parenti, no? Scusa per l'italiano brutto ma ho imparato un po da ragazzina e ora non c'e nessuno con qui lo posso parlare. Non ho mai imparato a scrivere e ne anche parlare nel formale. E strano pero che piu vecchi che divento, piu che sto pensando e sognando in italiano. Forse la medicina per dolore aiuta anche quello, ci lo sa? Communque, grazie e spero di sentirti a presto. Ciao! Spero che passi una belissima giornata.
