Italian Research

Hi Richard,
Sorry for the late reply - don't seem to be getting alerts when someone makes a posting on "Italian Research".

If there are any dates on the MC of the parents, such as Birth or Death I can probally obtain them from the "Comune" as long as they are after the Unification of Italy in 1870.  Prior to this some Provincial Offices may have the records.  If not it would be Church records.

Let me have some dates or a scanned copy of one of the MC.

OK Steve No Problem, Let me see which ones I need the most...there are a few but I don't expect you to spend too much time with it, So I need to prioritize.

Unfortunately, I am dealing with lots of family issues right now and also this is Easter week, so we will have to put this aside for now. I will get back to you in a few weeks. Thanks and Have a nice Holiday!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the opportunity to ask for advice/assistance.

I'm looking for two possible Italian ancestors and don't know where to start finding Italian records. They married and had children in Losone, Ticino, Switzerland, but the Church records state they came from the Kingdom of Sardi (now part of Italy I'm told), so I'm interested in birth records there if any exist.

The first is Victor CARMINE. Records I've found state he came from Cannobii, Sardi. According to those records, he would have been born around 1772 with his father named Caroli Antonii CARMINE, mother unknown.

The second is Maria Angela DELL'ORO (also seen written as just Angela or Angela Maria). Records state she came from Intra, Sardi. She would have been born around 1784 with her father named Petri DELL'ORO and mother Maria (surname unknown).

From looking at Google maps, I've assumed the modern places are Cannobio and Intra, both in Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Piemonte, Italy. Please correct me if you think that is wrong.


Any suggestions on how to further my research would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Ross

Hi Ross,
Thats a challenge - not been that far back yet.

You are right both towns would be in Verbania, Piemonte on the border with Switzerland.
To start have sent an e-mail to the State Archives in Verbania  to see what they have and if not where I can search in the old records.
It is possible they hold records, depends if they have been transcribed from the old Church records.
Another place of search is the diocese records for Verbania.  I once tried for some records for the very early 1800's in Lombardia and was told they were locked in a room and had'nt been looked at for years and needed an expert.  No date given when though.

Leave it with me and we'll see what they  come up with first and then take it from there.
We might need a bit of patience before they reply

Hi Steve,

Yes, I hadn't noticed any others that far back, but I thought I won't know what's possible if I don't ask

Thanks for having a go. I'll wait and see if you turn anything up (with patience of course).

Regards,
Ross

Hi Ross,
Surprise this morning, got a reply from the  Archives.  They do not have the records, but suggested I write to Parrochial Archives of Cannobio.
Sent an e-mail this morning and just wait now and see wht they have to say.

Hello Steve,
Could you please help to find a birth record for Maria Canova born 17 March 1890 at Possagno in Treviso province.  Her parents were thought to be Francesco Canova and Margherita Perizzollo.  Would also like to obtain a copy of Maria's marriage record to Antonio Rostirolla on 13 November 1913 also at Possagno.  Maria and Antonio migrated to Australia.  Thank you for your help.
