Polizzi Generosa Birth Records

Post by rp76226 »

I have copies of Polizzi Generosa (province of Palermo) birth documents for family members born in the 1880s and 1890s. However, when I try to find these same birth records on Antenati and Family Search, there are no birth records listed for those years. They have records from 1820 to 1858 and from 1911 to 1947. So where did I get the birth records that I have for Polizzi Generosa for the 1880s and 1890s?

Thank you Tessa. I saw the "Termini Immerse" option out of 5 link options given for Palermo and thought that stood for a specific town or city. Therefore I never clicked on it today. Wonder why they divided it up into multi-links instead of putting all the years together.

The first year I went to was 1882 on what you gave me. The birth index appears to be in chronological order instead of alphabetical order by last name. Hate that. I have previously found the birth record of all my grandmother's brothers and sisters (9 total siblings) per what my father (now deceased) gave me over 20 years ago except for a sister, Rosaria Cascio, who he indicated was born in 1885 but it wasn't there. I was planning to re-look at years 1881 and 1882 (her parents, Giuseppe Cascio and Lucia Tranbunella married in 1882).

Maybe this is the missing "sister" - who is actually a brother?

I have both those Rosario Cascio's. The one born in 1885 emigrated to America where he married and had children of his own. My grandmother who was 10 years younger lived with him when she later emigrated to America until she married my grandfather.
