Thanks! Any idea how I can find the phone number? I have the fax but not the regular line.

Hello!

I've written twice, in Italian, to the civil office in Trivigno, Potenza, to request birth certificates I am 100% sure they have, and have not received a reply. I first sent my request in July, and then again in September. Each time I included the specific birth certificate details ...

Brilliant! Thanks so much! Will try writing to them!

Hi all

I wrote to the civil office in Trivigno, Potenza back in April requesting 2 birth certificates and a marriage certificate. I had all of the specific details included (date of birth, place of birth, parents names, etc) and haven't gotten a reply yet. I know they exist, as I have seen scanned ...

Amazing!
Thank you so much!

How strange that they share a surname. Does this mean they were relatives? I always thought her name was De Grazia, or De Grassi, etc. This is on her death certificate and part of our family history.

You are very good at this. THANK YOU AGAIN! It means so very much.

Wow, Suanj

This brought tears to my eyes. I've been searching for this information for years, and you found it so quickly! It is incredible how the surname changed over the years. Anna (my great-grandmother) died young, and my great-grandfather Nicholas remarried. My grandfather (also Rocco) left ...

Hello all

I'm trying to find the town my great-grandfather was born in. He listed it on my grandfather's birth certificate as 'Trivina'. As I can't find this town on the map-I am hoping his ship's manifest can clarify. The ship departed from Naples and the image is here:

Hi!

Lovely, thanks.
I know his name to be Nicholas Casurella. Although I have seen it listed on various forms like this:

Nicholas Casurella (death certificate)
Nicholas Casurello (on his US census form from 1940)
Nicola Casuriello (on his naturalization form)
Nicola Carosiello (I am pretty sure ...

Hi

Wow, thanks so much. What a relief. I'm hoping it is straightforward. I'm having trouble finding their Italian birth certificates, as I can't find they town they are from on the map (listed as Trivina on my grandfather's birth certificate).

Thanks again!

Hi

Thanks so much for replying to me!
Apologies, I see that I mis-wrote my email. My mom was born in 1945. So, she can qualify through her father and pass along to me then, correct?
Although I don't think her father was an Italian citizen at the time of her birth...--but he didn't renounce his ...

Hi!

Thanks so much for the reply! I also thought it might be that, but there are also places called:
Trivino Province of Como, Italy
Trevina, Firenze
Trevina, Toscano (the latter two aren't on google maps but seem to be in some Italian civil records).

I don't have the manifest, but I do have his ...

Hi all

I'm a bit confused on something. Can I get citizenship through my maternal grandfather if my mom was born after 48?

My maternal grandfather was born in the US to two Italian citizens and my mom was born in 45. Can she pass on to me?

Also, my maternal grandmother was born an Italian citizen ...

Hello!

I'm looking for my great grandparents' birth and marriage certificates and am not sure what commune to write to.
On my grandfather's birth certificate (from the US) his parents both wrote that they were from Trivina, Italy . Does anyone know where this is or how to find out? Oddly Google ...
