Hi all.
I have the daunting task of trying to track down / document my wifes ancestors who hail from Cassino in Italy. This is not an easy task as all BMD records were destroyed in the Battle of Monte Cassino in 1944.
If I work backwards from what I know, it's (so far) as follows:-
Donato Tamburrini 1922 - 1987 - married to Margaret Russell 1923 - ?
Iuarez Tamburrini 1877 - 1949 - married to Concetta Volante 1882 - 1943
*** Iuarez and Concetta married in St Peters Catholic Church in Clerkenwell, London***
Giacomo Tamburrini 1852 - ? - married to Carmella ?
Concetta's parents:-
Giovanni Volante ???? - married to Giovanna Mancini or Capaldi (unsure).
If there is anyone out there that may be able to help me in my quest, (even ever so slightly), I would be most grateful!
Cheers
Steve

Just for your information, a local non-profit historical society called CDSC (Centro Documentazione e Studi Cassinati) is painstakingly putting together the documentation of the city and people from Cassino that got lost during the bombing of the city in WWII.
Their website (http://www.studicassinati.it/db/index.php) is all in Italian, but I assume that there must be someone of the members that can correspond in English. I suggest you to send them a couple of lines and see if they can be of any help.

Hi ...I am a Tamburrini , Family born in Cassino in 1878 my Nonno name luarez Tamburrini a Hairdresser 1877 / 1949 . Nonna Concetta Volante don't know age or when she died they where married in London where don't know ... Family have been to Cassino to try and trace but came to a stumbling block as you say the Battle of Monte Cassino destroyed all records ,what I do know the 2 brothers left Cassino for France didn't stay long left there for London both the Brothers met two sisters Volente from Cassino but different villages and both got married to them, my Nonno & Nonna left London with 7 Children and set up home here in Scotland and had in all 18 children .
Great Nonno Giacomo Tamburrini ... And Great Nonna Carmella Tamburrini no maiden name as I only have my Nonno's death certificate . Yes it's very daunting and for some reason my dad nor his siblings they never spoke about family I think there family just wanted to fit in when arriving to this country ...
Also my dads brother Dorado( Davy ) Tamburrini married to Maragaret Russell
So I might be a relitive ?
Yours Linda
