Re: birth for antonino monteleone needed to choose from multiple Antonino Monteleone deaths-

You should be cross-referencing the church death records to the civil ones since civil death records tend to include parent names.

And the civil marriage promessa will include an age verified by birth/baptismal records.
The promessa says he is age 27 and son of Biaggio, so born in 1819/1820. https ...

Re: Can’t find a marriage record. Gioiosa Marea, probably 1866.

Here is Salvadore's birth in 1868: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-8BT4-JTN

Vincenzo and Antonia appeared together and said Salvadore was born "dalla loro unione" - from their (sexual) union - which is very different language from other birth records in the volume, most of which ...

Re: Contarini & Cosmatos in 19th Century Italy & Greece

You will have a difficult time as during the period you are looking at, Venezia was under Austrian control through the Kingdom of Lombardy-Veneto and all records were kept at the local churches; there were no civil records in Veneto during this era.

Similarly, Rome was part of the Papal States ...

Re: Montaquila processetti records

Maybe, but you'll just have to search through 1809-1825 death records to see if they were in the civil records era. Since dates aren't provided for the deaths, there's no way to know for sure. They may be church records, in which case you would need to contact the parish church of Montaquila to ...

Re: Salerno Archives - website problems ?

Yes, for all the Italian state archive sites, if you are not accessing with a VPN or from within Italy, you will not be able to see the site outside of Italian "business hours". This is probably due to some security changes implemented by the DGA after a massive online attack a couple of years back ...

Re: Clarification on Italian birth records

Manifests were filled out at the port of embarkation, not upon arrival. So someone in Arkhangelsk would have done the transcription of the name as it was given (and may have been phonetically, especially if the person giving their name was illiterate).
