HI Tony.

My grandmothers mother's name was Vincenza Iafrate.
She was born near Sora on 1876 and died December 1952.
Her husband was Salvatore Bruni born 1866 died in 1940 or 1942.

Hello Sherond,
My family name is Corridore. My parents came from Sora, Frosinone and have lived in Canada since the 1950s. 
I am searching for family ancestors from Sora.
I can go back as far as I my great-grand parents.
What can you tell me about  Maddelina Corridore? She may be one of my great-grand parents sisters. Did she get get married in Sora or the UK?

Thanks for your help

Hello mrd.

Welcome!

I think in my previous posts to other members, I've given info on how to trace your Sora Ancesters, but also join this site:

As to the name DeCianti. It could also be  De Ciantis. if you put that name into this site:

http://www.gens.labo.net/en/cognomi/genera.html

You will see it is common to the Lazio region, if you try your spelling, nothing....yet in 1744 the name was known in Sora:

In my tree I do have a Vincenzo Di Ciantis born 1860 marrying Maddelina Corridore, she is the daughter of my great,great grandfather's sister.


The records from Sora, you can order at a centre and go view them, but as I have said before for the years 1872-ish, these were not indexed and were very,very hard to read unless you are fluent in reading Italian. I emailed the archives of Sora for my great grandfathers birth act, I did this in Italian,I recieved it after 3 months. Besides the records LDS have, census etc  are not online and you will need to pay a researcher to find these for you, they are well worth the money and very informative....

Do you have them on the 1901/1911 census? Most Italians in Birmingham were from Sora.

Anyway good luck, if you need any more help just ask.
