San Mauro Forte, Matera

[JamesBianco]

Hello all, I am looking for a researcher to find 2 church marriage records from San Mauro Forte, Matera, Italy

Andrea GINOSA to Francesca di NUZZI
about 1750-1760 San Mauro Forte

and

Alessandro TROILO and Margherita PRIVINGANO.
about 1760-1770 San Mauro Forte

I would of course pay the travel expense, hourly rate, etc. I realize church's can be difficult, but isn't it worth a try at least?

Thanks so much!

Jim

Jim:
in all italian Dioceses, are an Archive; of this Archive is the Bishop Responsible... in some Diocese's Archive, the bishop have made microfilmed the registries, and in Archive are same organization as LDS center, so are an priest that is the Diocese's Archive director... and sure are some vulunteer.. I cannot know if in this Archive can help you; for this cause I advice to write and to ask about your needs... all churchs registry of an Diocese(saved from wars), are also in Diocese's archive; so send an request by normal letter and good luck!

Hi: you can see the San mauro Forte microfilm in mormons center, because are from 1810 to 1929:
Registri dello stato civile, 1810-1929 San Mauro Forte (Matera). Ufficio dello stato civile

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... ato+civile++

The Caresimo surname most probable is an mistaken version of Carissimo/ Carissimi surname; nobody Caresimo currently in San Mauro Forte, only the Giammetta people:

Thanks for you reply, I followed the link,
Can the records be viewed online or downloaded , I cant actually seem to see any records other than the title of the film.

Also any ideas on what this surname may mean ?

Thanks again for your help...very much appreciated

[suanj]

The records, well they can see only by microfilms in Mormons center... about surname meaning, if was an version( probable) of Carissimo/i means "dearest".. sorry for my english, regards, suanj

Hi,
As Suanj stated the images can not be seen on-line. What you are seeing is actually an on-line catalogue of the available records. Here is a post written by Trish that explains in detail how to use the microfilm:

Here is a link to find a FHL near you:

Also, you may want to check with a library near you. In the USA, some libraries also can order films for you.

Jim,

I know you posted this a long time ago....but this link may help you. A priest (no less) who has the Trolio surname (yours is spelt Troilo, but I'm assuming it is the same) working at a church in the diocese of Tricarico which is the next village to San Mauro Forte.

Maybe a letter to him??

Good luck.

Look up 'PARROCCHIA SAN GIOVANNI BATTISTA' in Calciano if the direct link fails.

[JamesBianco]

Thanks a lot for that link!

I just wish someone would do something with San Mauro Forte (like work on the church records) It gets so frustrating since I have right here at home the church records for my nona's town in sicily back to 1527! But I guess the priests in Sicily are friendlier.
