Since the mother Ida Lippi is from Pistoia (recorded on Gino's birth record) you can probably find their marriage there. The problem is that these records are restricted to LDS research centers, many of which are closed right now. From this info you can also tell that the paternal grandfather ...

Ciao tutti,

My search has floundered with my Great Grandfather’s records, although I have the names of his parents and grandfathers. Our family is from Lucca, or at least that’s where my GGF was born. It seems like his father may have moved from Pistoia. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I ...

Thanks!

Thanks Tony!

Ciao tutti,

I’ve hit a wall in my research and am looking at getting an on-site genealogist to research records in Pistoia. Does anyone know the approximate price something like this would be? Grazie!

I asked this over at the Italian citizenship board, but, as I didn't receive a response, I thought maybe I posted it in the wrong place.

I'm registering my daughter for AIRE. I have everything, but I didn't get the Apostille translated.

Anyone know???

Grazie mille!

Ciao tutti.

I've had another child since I gained dual-citizenship a few years ago. I've got all the documents together and have got an apostille for the birth cert. I have the birth cert. translated, but I don't know if I need to get the apostille translated also.

If it matters, the consulate is ...

Ciao LivioMoreno.

Thanks!

Could you please explain to me why "Parent's Name" would be translated "Cognome"? I'm not sure I understand.

I think the birth cert (which is new) is trying to be "politically correct" and not assume that the biological mother and father will be listed on the record. In ...

Ciao tutti,

I think I've got most of my daughter's BC translated correctly but I'm having some trouble on a couple lines.

Time of birth --- Il Tempo di Nascita
Place of birth --- Luogo di Nascita (or should that be Posto di Nascita )
State File Number --- N. dell'archiviazione di Stato

And ...

Ciao tutti,

I've been stalled on my research for quite some time. I started with my GGF's Italian birth certificate. I was able, with the help of someone in Lucca (the city of my GGF's birth) to get a hold of his baptismal record (15 Aug 1897). This record lists my GGF's parents as "Leopoldo fu ...

Thanks for the translation help and advice!

I've worked up an email to an archdiocesan office in an attempt to see if they have any records on my family (my genealogical search has hit a roadblock for some time now which I think they can unblock :D ) I've done my best to translate it into Italian, but as I'm still learning the language, I'd ...

Thanks for the heads up, Jennabet. I'll look for a call.

Grazie mille Liviomoreno!

My family and I recently moved into your jurisdiction. We were granted Italian Citizenship (jure sanguinis) in 2012 through the Philadelphia consulate. I know I will need to fill out a form and ...
