Italian Research

Hi Forum Members,
Looking for documents in Italy, then send me a note.
Sometimes I have success and sometimes no.  No harm in trying.
I've lived in Italy now for 20 odd years.

Hi, I am after a marriage for a Lorenzo Maganetti and Maria Corvi between 1810 and 1820 in Tirano, Sondrio, Lombardia, Italy. I am particularly interested in the names of Maria's parents if you have access to these records. Family Search has lots of Tirano records on line but they only start from 1866 and Maria had died before 1866.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi mixedupmob,
The records for Tirano should be held by the State Archives of Sondrio.
Tomorrow morning when the office opens (half-day) will have a word to make sure they have the records for those years and if not who has. It could be only the parrochial records at the diocese.
The marriage certificate should have the parents name mentioned.
Let you know tomorrow what is happening and keep you informed.
If I manage to get hold of it I can send it and translate for you.

That would be great Steve. I know Maria was born 1795 and the first child I have for their marriage was born in Feb 1820 so the marriage would have been before 1820.

Look forward to hearing what you have found.

Hi Steve

I'm after the marriage of Angelo Marino Minni (b ca. 1846) and Emilia de Vita (b ca. 1847). I think they could have been married in Bagnoli del Trigno, Campobasso in the 1860's.

Angelo was born in Bagnoli del Trigno, Campobasso. They lived in Bagnoli and the first of their children that I know of - Costanzi Minni - was born in Bagnoli in 1869.

I would be delighted if I could find their parents names.

Hi sami,
This is a bit easier as the records will be held by the local town hall.  All being well the records have not been transmitted to the Archives.
Have e-mailed info and requested a copy of the marriage certificate.
For curiosity Bagnoli del Trigno  is in the Province of Isernia and the Region is Molise.
As soon as I hear will let you have a copy and translation. 
Will keep you informed.

Hi Steve

Fingers crossed at this end.

A recurring story in my family is about a fire at the Bagnoli town hall which destroyed quite a few records.

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi mixedupmob,
Made a few phone calls.  The Archives do not have the records.  The Town Hall records start from 1866.
Parrochial Records ;  have sent e-mail to the three churches where they could have married.
Let you know as soon as I hear.

Hi mixedupmob and sami
Not forgotten.  Still waiting and have sent a reminder to both.
