Need help with Paolo Giorgi born in 1864 (63) in Vagli Sotto

Post by argentuban »

I have gotten a lot of the information related to my Italian lineage, and we have a number of birth certificates of my great grandfathers siblings, but not of my great grandfather himself.

Coming up zeroes so far with any real information. I have one of his sister's birth certificates, Maria Isola Giorgi born in 1882. Paolo, according to the information I have, was born in 1864 (or 1863). I know he was born to Dominico Giorgi and Jacopina Pellinacci <sp>. Also know of other siblings, Angelo, Antonio, and Giovanini.

Any advice on how to proceed? Resources? Expert groups at this type of research? Worried I am at a dead end.

More info to come.....putting together a family tree.

Wow, thanks for the reply. It looks like this is in fact Giovani (short), one of the brothers!!! I need to get the detail for his older brother Paolo.

I do not have exact birthdates for anyone.

Years of birth are from family, but we have the birth certificate of Maria I believe. Checking. We seem to have everyone's birth certificate in the family EXCEPT for Paolo's :(, and that is the one I need.

Update: OK, We have an Ufficio di Stato Civile e D'Anagraffe issued in 1912 fromt he Comune di Pontedera for Maria Isola Francesca Giorgi, daughter if Domenico and Jacopa that states she was born in 1882 4th of May, 1912.

So she was born in Vagli Sotto. We have been told that is where Paolo was born, but maybe he was born in Pontedero in 1863 or 64. I do not know. :( Any references to look things up for Pontedero?

Out of curiosity why are there no documents for Vagli Sotto for those years? The linked page, if you backtrack from Pontedera and look at what is available, has nothing. Is that because there was nothing recorded or because they would have been recorded in a neighboring municipality?

You have to contact the town of Vagli Sotto and ask them for records before 1860

I have the birth year(s) - 1863 or 1864, the parents names (Domenico Giorgi and Jacopa Pellinacci), and the records of several of the siblings. Is there a service or group I can contact in Italy/Vagli Sotto that can use that and help me find Paolo's record?
