Looking for info on Ulivieri/ Olivieri ---- Mezzanotti's

Post by tkolites »

Looking for family info on Ulderigo Ulivieri/Olivieri and his wife Giovanna Mezzanotti. Ulderigo/ rigo was from Molin Nuovo Arezzo Toscana, Italy and moved to Pennsylvania. His wife Giovanna /Jennie was from Sassoferrato. They had three children Nello, Freda and Gino.

Anyone have info would be appreciated. Thank you. Eventually want to look into getting Italian Citizenship. Grandpa Rigo was never naturalized and Grandma Jennie was after the kids were born.

A bit lost on obtaining info from Italy. Where would I write for Birth and marriage license info. ?

Thank you.

For your GF, see the link to contact the comune of Arezzo.
http://www.comune.arezzo.it/il-comune/s ... protocollo

Do you know his date of birth, parent's names? If so, ask the Ufficio dello Stato Civile in Arezzo for his birth record (estratto degli atti di nascita).

If they were married in Italy, they were most likely married in your GM's home town. You could ask the official in Arezzo to include a summary of any annotations on your GF's birth record ---the reference to his marriage should be noted if they were married in Italy.

For your GM's birth record, see the following:

Comune di SASSOFERRATO
Piazza Matteotti, 1| 60041 Sassoferrato (AN)
Tel: 0732/9561 | Fax: 0732/956258
Mail: info@comune.sassoferrato.an.it

If you have information on their dates of birth, place of marriage, we can help more.

Just to add, civil records are online at FamilySearch.org for Sassoferrato. Birth records are searchable for the years 1866-1900, so we can search for Giovanna Mezzanotti if you can narrow down the birth year.

If Giovanna's father was Angelo Mezzanotte, then she was born on July 2, 1894 in Sassoferrato. Record number 266, see link to the image below:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... ,360821101

No annotation on the record of her marriage, but since this record was copied from the set archived at the courthouse (Tribunale), she still may have been married in her hometown......unless you know otherwise.

Rigo's WWII Draft Reg Card. Now working at the No.6 Colliery for the Volpe Coal Company.

Both the Underwood and No. 6 were originally owned by the PCC. Both mines saw significant labor unrest due to the use of subcontracting. To learn more on labor relations in NE Pennsylvania and the labor unrest in the Pittston area, see Anthracite Labor Wars by Robert P. Wolensky and William A. Hastie, Sr.
