Ascoli Piceno/Marche Help

[mmillercensi]

I am trying to find my great grandfather's birth certificate. Unfortunately, my family doesn't have that much information. Before I send a letter and money to a location to ask for the birth certificate, is there any way to find out if that's really where he was born? We have always heard he was from Ascoli Piceno but I suppose he could be from a neighboring town/province. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

I am looking specifically for Emilio Capriotti who we think was born around 1883. His name could have been documented as Emidio Capriotti. His father was Francesco Capriotti...

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much,
Malia

Can this be your GGF?

It could be that he used in USA also the first name Amedeo?

Mi sono confuso tra 1884 e 1894...

I'm new to Italian research and have a question regarding this area. I have found an immigration record for someone and the person entering the information wrote the place of birth of Ascoli Po. When I searched for this town online Ascoli Piceno came up. Could it be the same place? The province of Marche would make sense knowing what I do about the family. However, I thought I should ask those who know more than me about Italy before I make an assumption. Thanks!

[PippoM]

I think it makes sense!
However, if you can share the document, you'll be able to get some more opinions.

[debbied1951]

Thank you for responding. Here is the immigration record. It's the family on lines 22-24 that I'm interested in... Ascoli Po is on page 2 line 22.

[PippoM]

I think that's it.
More precisely, thru the name of the person they were going to join, if the person I've found is the right one:

the origin was probably Montalto Marche, province of Ascoli Piceno:

That's it! Thank you for your help. It really appreciated.
