My ancestors Antonio Fabrizio and his wife Filomena D'Agostino lived in Dragoni, Italy. I believe that they died there after 1929, but I am unsure of the dates. I don't believe that they were from Dragoni, as I have been unable to locate birth or marriage records for either of them. They are my ...

Tomasso-

Thank you for the offer to check the Dragoni records for me. I actually have some of the records on temporary loan myself - but I realized recently that I may have missed a few when ordering. I am headed to the library again on Tuesday, and I may take you up on your offer when I figure out ...

Thank you Elba. I guess I will have to look for the marriage record in another city, because it certainly wasn't in Dragoni!

Thank you for the input. I wonder whether the church would have a record of the marriage? Has anyone had any luck with church records? I am new to Italian genealogy and my experience is limited to the LDS microfilmed records for the villages themselves. How would I go about accessing church records ...

I may be grasping at straws here, but I am hoping someone has better knowledge of the intricacies of the Italian language than I do.

I am having a difficult time finding a marriage record for my gggrandparents Antonio Fabrizio and Filomena D'Agostino of Dragoni.

Their first child was born in 1884 ...

My great grandfather actually took his mother's maiden name - which was Madia. I do not know his father's name, which is why I am searching for his birth certificate. I believe he was born out of wedlock. His mother's name was Anna Madia. They initially settled in Pittsburgh, PA. Anna had siblings ...

Thanks for the advice. I had seen that the Fossato records existed, but it looked like they only existed for the years 1809-1871. I didn't bother to click through to view the film notes. I read your note, went back to the site, and lo and behold there they were! If only the FHC weren't closed until ...

I am hoping someone can help tell me where to locate a birth certificate for my great grandfather Domenico Madia. He was born in 1889 or 1890. I believe he was born in Savuci, which is a small village near Sorbo San Basile, Fossato Serralta and Sellia in Catanzaro. Savuci seems to be a ghost town ...
