Italian Research

[Ninatoo]

Hi Steve,

I know it's a busy time of year, so I will try to be patient awaiting a reply. 

I would love to find out more about my Granelli family. My great grandfather Camillo Francesco Granelli was born about 1878 in Santa Maria Del Taro. His brother Agostino born about 1874 in Bedonia.  Their parents were Francisco Granelli and Maria De Lucchi (sp) and both were deceased before 1908. I would like any information on any of them, and of course it would be great to go back a generation too.

Fingers crossed!

Steve;

Just want to say Happy Holidays! And thank you for all the help you provide here! Where in Italy do you live?

My ancestors came from Toritto and Grumo Appula, two small towns very nearby each other about 15 Minutes inland from the coast of Bari.

I would love to find some information on the death of my great-grandfather, Vito Antonio Silecchia. I think he died in Grumo sometime between 1910 and 1915, but I am not sure. He was born ~1854 so I cannot find his birth records, but I have found lots of brothers and sisters. The Silecchias had large family's....my father is the youngest of 12 children.

Again, thank you for taking the time to help people with there searches! May you have a great year in 2016 for you and your family!

ninatoo,

Before I do anything I telephoned the Comune di Bedonia.  They are now charging euro.14.00 per certificate. 
Are you looking for the BC's of Camillo and Agostino?  Regards MC of Francesco and Maria - do you have a date for which they can search?  If you want certificates I can ask the Comune to search and let me know if they have them and the total cost.  I can then pass it on to you with details of how to pay.

I have never paid for certificates before in other Comune.

Let me know what you want to do or if there is any ther help I can give you.

Hi Steve - just wondering if you could help me as I'm not having much luck myself!

I'm looking for the marriage of my distant cousin - as there is no record of it in the UK registers I am thinking they got married in Italy. 

Her name was Kathleen Marie Short and his name was Giulio Silvio Grizi (Conte apparantely).  The marriage was in 1926 and I'm guessing Rome as their address when she died in 1968 was Via Emanuele Gianturco 5, Rome.  Her mother's name was Margaret Short nee Moore (died 1960 in Rome) and her father's name was Henry George Howell Short (died 1917 London).

If you can help at all that would be great!

Thanks so much, Nina

Hi Nina,
There are 15 Town Halls in Rome and as we do not know which one I have written to the main one.  Have supplied all the info you gave and asked where I might find the info ie. which  Town Hall - given the address you gave me on death in 1968.

Will let you know the prgress as soon as I hear something.

Steve;

I have a question that perhaps you can answer. I have been researching for some time now and I have found several of my families marriage certificates. In some of the older ones, there is a listing of documents that the spouses and parents provided such as BC and Death certificates if a parent was deceased. What I am wondering is, are the details of these documents recorded and filed with the marriage certificates? I know I have not found any images of them. Perhaps they were not allowed to be micro-filmed? Is it possible to write to the communes and request this information? Or can they be searched in person at the Provincial Archives in Italy? Or maybe they were not saved and were discarded?

Hope you are having a nice year and Thanks for all the help you provide!
