Gotcha. Makes sense, and interesting that it's recorded in the death record. Thanks!

So I can probably assume that Pasquale was basically his father's dyer apprentice and probably inherited his dyer business?

Mongrel here, but grew up tending towards identifying as 'Italian' because I was one of the few people where I grew up with an Italian last name.

I've never thought much of coloring stereotypes, considering my mom's dark brown hair and dark brown eyes come from the Swedish/Irish side of the family. And she can darken a surprising amount considering the red-haired English/German side of the family.

Dad, though, well, definitely looks ...

Whoops, I didn't see the age down there! I think I spent too much time researching the Swedish side of the family, I started to forget my Italian!

And thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

So I finally found the death record for my 6x great-grandfather, Saverio Reale, but noticed something weird. Usually this type of record gives the name of the deceased, their parents' names, and the name of their spouse if married/widowed. But for Saverio, after his wife, it adds another person ...

Wow, neat!

Makes sense as Pasquale was in his late 30s, early 40s during the war. Do you know if there are any resources I could read to get a sense of the work he might have done in his Centuria?

Awesome, thank you! And I'll be heading to New York this August, maybe a stop by the court in White Plains is in order...

Thank you! Any idea what the 943 Centuria District of Naples is? Would that be his army unit?

During my recent trip to Italy, I stumbled across the Benevento State Archive, and with it my gg-grandfather, Pasquale Ruggiero's, military record for WWI.I've been able to read and translate most of it, but I'm not sure what it all means . In the center portion, describing the military service, I ...

I recently returned from a trip to Italy and found several unexpected records, one of which was a different version of my gg-grandfather, Pasquale Ruggiero's birth record that has notations about his birth and death written in the side. The birth record itself looks pretty standard, and the death ...

I may just have to try that, thanks1

Ah darn. And Moiano's publicazioni are not online either, nor were Macchia Valfortore's for 1901 (and I check 1900 just in case - no luck). It is all very annoying, especially since my gg-grandparents kept moving back and forth between Italy and the US.

Oh well, thank you for your help!

Hi! I've been trying to figure out where my great-great-grandparents married, as there are three possible places (Moiano, Macchia Valfortore, and New York - probably Schenectady). I have a long-standing grudge against New York for not publishing old vital records online, Moiano loves to not have any ...
