Comune di Zarza Mayore

[maritabobbio]

Good evening, I would like to ask for your help to see if anyone can identify this commune from Italy: "Zarza Mayor" that appears in these Argentine records of Filomena Stefanelli daughter of Giuseppe Stefanelli and Carmela Maiorani (Mayorani - Maiorano). Born February 23, 1913
Thank you.

I have only found one town which is close in spelling and that is a town in western Spain, bordering Portugal, called Zorza la Mayor. The record does read that the town of birth was in the jurisdiction of the kingdom of Italy. I just know that there is Roman influence in this town, but that is obviously not from the early 20th century.

Is this record online? If so, can you provide a link to it?

Perhaps Salsomaggiore, province of Parma?

[PippoM]

Perhaps Salsomaggiore, province of Parma?

It might be a good guess, as the surname is still existing and quite common in that area
I had another guess: Cercemaggiore, province of Campobasso (also because names such as Filomena and Carmela sound more southern). I've checked for year 1913, but could not find the birth of Filomena Stefanelli

Thank you Erudita.
Unfortunately there is no link. It is a PDF of the Marriage Certificate of Filomena Stefanelli with Dacal Antonio in Argentina.

Well I believe that Filomena stated Cercemaggiore as birthplace and PippoM was right, but in Cercemaggiore the birth is no there... I found that the family coming from Circello , Benevento, IT, because a child, Adamo was born in Circello on 13 jul 1902...

searching on 1913, well on 19 Feb 1913 stillborn Libera STEFANELLI daughter of Giuseppe Stefanelli 43 old farmer and of Carmela Maiorano... born without life...
