Italian Research

[steve62]

Hi treemad,
For curiosity the town is in the Province of Matera and the Region of Basilicata (Southern Italy).  The population is around 1900.
The records will be with the "Municipio" - "Town Hall".  Here they will not search with just a name.  They would require a date 00/00/0000 or nearest to it.  Given its a small town we might find a kind soul who will research the years 1928-1931.
Leave it with me and I write an e-mail to see if they will kindly look.
A note they are notorious for taking time replying as you can see from the posts above.

Have a nice Christmas and New Year.

Steve

that would be great, was there any census in the early 20th C?

I have one brother's birth dates 16 AUG 1928

Antonio, Vito, Giuseppi and Dominico could be born either side of Rocco

[treemad]

would love to find the parents or births and marriages of:

Rocco b 16.8.1928 to Teresa Manzione
Antonio m Philomena
Vito m Maria
Guiseppe m Margareta Garagusa
Domenico m Adollarata


from Accentura Rooco and Guiseppe had kids in the UK in the 1950's but no record of marriages in the UK so all must have arrived around about 1950 or so.



Rocco and one other

Hi Paul,
I will e-mail the "Comune di Ventimiglia" and request a  copy of the Death Certificate.
It may take time as you can see from above posts I am still waiting for replies.  All depends how fast they are.  Sometimes they need reminders!

Hi Steve,

Am I right in thinking that the @Commune di Ventimiglia' has not yet replied to you? Although I don't think there's any particular rush, my friend mentioned it to me the other day. They need the death certificate in order to obtain this relative's army service records in the UK.

thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,
Not heard anything so I gave them a quick telephone call this morning to see what was happening.
At the moment they are undated with work and it is not forgotten.  Think we may have to wait a bit.
My thoughts on the  problem maybe Ventimiglia being an Italian/French border and the huge problem they have with immigrants claiming asylum and residency.  That is not racialist remark, but a fact.

I will keep on top  of it for you.

Many thanks

Hi Paul,
The lady I spoke to at the "Comune di Ventimiglia" has pulled out my request as a  favour and replied this morning.
She could'nt find anything for Ventimiglia so she checked nearby towns and found that he actually died in Bordighera (nearby). She has given me the Register Number and Serial Number.
I have this morning given all the details to the "Comune di Bordighera" and now await a reply.

Hi Steve,

Very many thanks. I'll pass that information on to the lady.

Hi Steve,

My Grand father's family come from Ortona a Mare.

I would love to try and find out a full marriage date in 1903 for Pietro Iezzi and Angelina Tenaglia.

If it's possible to get the names and ages of their parents too, that'd be superb.

Pietro Iezzi was born on 28th June 1879 and Angelina Tenaglia was born on 22nd April 1883.

I'd be grateful for any assistance.

Cheers,

Greg
