Finding commune

Post by deigo1 »

Hello,

I was trying to find the commune of birth for my great great grandfather Gaetano Vanzo, the death record was translated below previously.

https://www.italiangenealogy.com/forum/ ... zo#p327244

It showed per the translation he was residing Musano, but was born in Calvignano. I've been unable to find a town with the name of Calvignano inside of Treviso. Through a recent post I found that Gaetano's father was born in Pezzan in Istrana, before the family moved to Musano.

Thank you,
D.

There is a tiny hamlet in Pavia (near Milan) called Calvignano. It's close enough as the crow flies to Treviso that it could very well have been his birthplace...

Thank you both very much.

I see now what mmogno is saying, the clerk looks like they made their T slightly different, but it is different from their capital C written elsewhere, and what looks like an "a" is really just a poorly written "r".

Given he was written as born in Trevignano vs Musano, the parish in Trevignano would likely have his baptism?
