Re: 1810: Atto di nascita vs. Atto della dichiarazione fatta dal Padre

Thank you! It’s the first time I think I’ve come across a duplication of this type, even in the same area in the same time period.

Re: Researching Gattuso family in Valanidi, Calabria


Until halfway the 18th century there was only one Valanidi with the parish S. Nicola. It was up in the mountains and was later on referred to as Valanidi Superiore. In the course of the 18th century people initiated a settlement near the coast which was referred to as Valanidi Inferiore. The first ...

I know this is a few months late...

dangat - There is a Gattuso family Facebook group that you can be added to if you like. We try to get to the bottom of some of the connections between the Gattuso family and many of the other related families (from which I descend) in the Valanidi / Pellaro ...

Re: Prison records from 1830?

Thank you. Would that be the Archivio di Stato in the area where the crime was committed AND where he served the time? The crime was likely committee near the city of Reggio Calabria, so I assume the case file would be in the Archivio there, but I don't want to assume that.

Do you happen to know of ...

Prison records from 1830?

Ciao a tutti!

Does anyone have an idea how I might be able to obtain prison records (or court records) from 1830? It appears, based on his daughter's marriage record and his death record, that my 5GGF (if I have ID'd him correctly -- only about 75% sure at this point) committed murder and was ...

Does anyone have a good contact in the Stato Civile in San Severo (FG) by any chance? I have always had good luck with receiving information from other comuni and usually very quickly, but I have never gotten a response from San Severo despite several attempts over the course of months ...

Re: Italian PM Giuseppe Conte


When I hear Prime Minister Conte speak with his distinctive Pugliese Italian accent, I am reminded of my wonderful Pescara dentist, Matteo Danza, who was also from San Giovanni Rotondo and had a beautiful photo of Padre Pio in his office (San Giovanni Rotondo being the town where Padre Pio is ...

Re: Searching Di Deo family from Abruzzo

Are you the same Jeffrey DeDay who has a family tree on Ancestry? If so, it appears you have a lot of information already, including his parents' names: Francesco Di Deo and Filomena Barattucci. His birthday, according to Stato Civile records, however, is not 8 November 1892 but 5 November 1893 ...

Italian PM Giuseppe Conte

Ciao a tutti!

Current Italian PM Conte was born in Volturara Appula (FG), Puglia, was raised in S. Giovanni Rotondo (FG), and lived for a time in Vissuto (FG). He graduated from school in San Marco in Lamis (FG). Does anyone happen to know where his ancestors originally came from, though?
