Can anyone tell me how to determine when a commune was originally established. I am trying to determine when Malvito Italy was originally established and cannot find any links to this information.
Thank you for any help

The birth record was from 1885 and only list his birth name, date of birth and parents names

Last month I received a birth certificate for my husband's grandfather, Luigi Scilingo, from Malvito, Italy giving us the family link we needed. But during the search of the Malvito birth records we discovered another birth to the same parent's on the same day with the name Guiseppe Carmine Scilingo ...

We are assuming this ...

I am attempting to get birth records for my husband's Grandmother, Linda Teglia who imigrated from Ponte Buggianese on February 1, 1916. She was 18 years old at that time so I'm guessing her birth year 1898 or there abouts.

Can anyone tell me where to find birth records at? Her mother's name was ...

[quote="johnnyonthespot"]Congrats!

To go back prior to 1800 or to fill in the missing blanks, your only real option is to continue requesting records from the Stato Civile office in Malvito. Thankfully, they have ...

Ahhh SUCCESS

Received a copy of Louis Silingo's application for a U.S. Social Security number and he listed his name as Louis Antonio Silingo and his mother's name as Rose Mandarino and father's name Ralph Silingo. Interesting that he listed his birth place on Petition for Naturalization as Malvito ...

Tessa, can I request a copy without his Social Security number? I can't seem to find any information on this man anywhere.

Where can I obtain his naturalization papers from? Ancestry .com shows his name and date only.

My husband's grandfather came to the United States somewhere around 1902 but didn't file for his naturalization papers until March 31, 1939 at the age of 53. Not sure why he waited so long but we believe it was because he changed his name around 1910.

Does anyone know what type of legal papers he ...

Thanks again for all the help. I no longer have a subscirption with Ancestry.com but I seem to remember a Polk address on one of Louis Silingo's draft registration or naturalization forms. Seems like it was a witness.

I discovered yesterday that Louis Silingo was buried in Queen of Heaven cemetary ...

Thanks to all for the great resource help! I wish there were someone left alive in the family that knew either name of Louis parents and I could at least narrow it down in the Italian records. Not sure why he changed his name but he did use June 5, 1885 on his American draft record.
He named his ...

My husbands grandfather was born June 5, 1885 in Italy. The Ellis Island ship manifest shows he was from Malvito. Where can I write to request verification of his birth?
