Hi, Angela-

Interesting reading - especially the link from Pippo on Dec 24, 2024. It's a bummer that the "Cantieri Nord" zone of the village appears to no longer have a church. Would like to know more about that...

The link stated that the village was traditionally divided into four zones—Cantieri ...

Thanks, Angela. Am also curious about the “place known as Cantieri” reference. Do you think this was simply a reference to what amounts to a (generic) address? Or maybe is as to a larger locale?

Hello, Forum-

Wondering about any finer points as to the translation of this one. Is the record on the lower part of this page...

Looks like this is the gist:

17 Month of November, Civil registrar of the Verciano section ...

Here's the Birth Record for Rosa Savinelli. Born 25 May 1856 and baptized the next day in, I believe, the parish of Santa Annunziata. But I defer to EXPERTS like mmogno for interpretation of that. :D

Parents were Carlo (di living Francesco), age 40 and Margarita Barisciano (sp.), age 37.

Here's the Birth Record for Genaro di Nuzzo. Born, I believe, 20 Sep 1850 and baptized on the 24th. His parents are Nicola di Nuzzo (age 26) and Elisabetta Termieri (sp.?) (age 25). As indicated (suggested) by mmogno above, the baptism took place in Montedicoro (in that parish).

I've received soooooooo much incredible help from sooooooo many great folks here over the last decade-plus. I'm very happy I could help you here, if only a smidgeon.

Good luck with your ongoing research...

[p.s. - props to Farassino as well...)

Just did a quick Google Search and it seems like "The Hand of God" (2021) is a pretty good bet...

I don't see a Giovanni Taddeo born in 1866 in the indici decennali...

In the year 1866, there's a Girolamo (di Francesco) and Antonino (di Giovanni)...

Hi, Parker-

You have helped me a time or two before, so I hope this returns the favor. I think (hope) this is the link you're looking for...

Grazie mille, Erudita!

And courtesy of Farassino, that's your clue right there. Record No. 400, that is. The "4" in that number pretty much looks exactly like the "4" in "43" (... Salvatore Fina, di anni 43...".

Hello, Erudita. Always happy to hear from you!

Thank you for your input!!!

Thanks, mmogno. Can you tell me who you think Carmela's parents were? Rocco Morina and Maria ____?

Hello, Forum-

Revisiting this (distant) past posting. I have a hunch that the last name of Nicolina Bonanno's mother MIGHT be "Morina"...

I've also been looking in Soccorso - a hamlet just to the northwest of Santa Lucia del Mela - as well as Gualtieri Sicamino - also just to the north of Santa ...
