That's interesting that Sicilian shows on Ancestry. Mine shows as So. Italian. The location does seem bizarre though as I traced family back to the 1700s and the sets of grandparents lineage is from Catania, Bagheria, Canicatti, and San Pierro. The Italian side is from L'Aquila and San Fele.

Just ...

Thanks, Biff - I had a feeling.
I'll have to search the morti records for Pasquale. Hopefully I can find out some more info that way

Hello,

Might one of you experts be willing to see if there was a marriage record for Pasquale Bongiovanni to Rosalia LaBarberia? This would have been in Villafrati, possibly in 1821 or 1822.

Another person on ancestry.com shows the marriage was 1822, however, I did not see it. Hopefully I am just ...

Hi Marty - thanks, I can try writing to the church to see if they may be able to have something.
Yes, I have the record for Francesca and Giuseppe also (he passed in 1823).

I appreciate the look and feedback.

Hello,

Is there other databases that we can search for records besides antenati and the images that Family Search has?

I'm trying to complete a 6-generation chart for my son and I'm just not sure the record is available online, for my wife's 4th GGparents. We have the parents identified, however ...

Before I go enroll in vision insurance...I went back and looked again at the directories to see how I missed it ...

That's awesome. Thanks for finding that!

Correct, I referenced that record to showcase the parents of Domenica, in case I missed something. I was trying to locate Domencia's parents marriage record.

Thanks.

Hello,

Throwing a life line to see if anyone has an idea where I may be able to find a marriage record for the 4th great grandparents on my wife's side? We haven't been able to locate Domencia's birth record either, but the death record from NY stated she was born in 1860 (Villafrati).

Her ...

Thanks so much for the help!
Interesting about the person who presented the child. Perhaps Paolino was a brother? I don't believe there is a way to ever know.

Hello,

Sure - the marriage record from his daughter, Rose https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9MZ-Z39J?i=650&wc=MDB8-168%3A245880401%2C246081201&cc=1947613

I haven't been able to secure her birth record however. It looks like she was 15 when married, so I've looked around 1866 and +/- a ...

Thanks again for the help.
I've always had a difficult time with knowing it's the end of info gather for a specific line. I have his date of death from my home town and can order his death certificate. I figured that will not reveal any parents though.

I appreciate the look (and help) T!

Thanks again!
Was able to capture the marriage record -

Ah man, my fear! Thanks, Tessa.
I have to circle back and try to find Simone's birth record. I do wonder if Simone could be the father of the other Simone though! The question continues.

Hello,

This one is difficult for me to read! Any help would be much appreciated, please.

I believe it's Simone Calato. If it isn't, don't bother!
