Longobardi, Cosenza Calabria after 1910

[dizabrat]

I have finally found a true relative Antonio Presta but he was born in Dec 1908 - his parents were Francesco Presta and Marina Calcopietro!!! Unfortunately they married just 2 years earlier and no records go past 1910 for this town online how can I find out who he eventually married and who is other siblings are? Francesco Presta was my grandfather's (Gaetano) brother.

Here is a listing for Francesco Presta in the Cosenza Arichives...

Are these the parents you have for your GF Gaetano?
In the Birth act you posted above, Francesco Presta's father is listed as deceased Antonio.
Francesco was not present for the birth as he had emigrated to America.

Hi, Thank you for looking for me.....

Francesco's parents were Antonio Presta and Raffaela Pelligrini (Francesco's brother was Gaetano Presta -- my grandfather). He was born in Longobardi on Oct 27 1887. He married Marina Calcopietro in 1907 and they had a son, Antonio in 1908 but the records online only go to 1910 so I can find any other children they had,

Yes, here is the correct Francesco Presta from the Cosenza Archives ...

But, as you say, hard to find newer records. These archives only go to 1900.
