Hello all,

I'm seeking advice on how I might obtain information regarding my 12th great-grandfather born in Lucca. It is the farthest back in time I have ever gotten on my genealogy research and he is probably the only "famous" ancestor I have found. Since he might be considered a famous son of ...

Ugo,

I do believe that this record is in connection with the sister of my 3rd great-grandmother. That is how I am going to proceed at this time. Many thanks to you!

Ellen

Thank you, Ugo. I tried sending you a Private Message, but I am not sure it went through.

I am trying to figure out the details of my 3rd great-grandparents from Procida. He is Pietro Paolo MASSA and had the profession of "marinaro." I wondered if he died at sea. He married Maria MAZZELLA JANNUZZO in 1843.

But I find a marriage in 1852 in Procida between Maria MAZZELLA JANNUZZO and ...

Thanks very much for your reply and the geographical information!

I wonder if someone can help translating this portion of a death record. I can not link directly to the document so I am attaching a picture of a portion of the document. Thank you for any help.

Ellen

Thank you so much for providing these links to their deaths - it was kind of you to take the time. I'm not quite sure how I missed this, but I DID miss it - I appreciate you setting me straight. This was exactly some of the information I was looking for!

Kind regards,

Ellen

Thank you, yes, I have the death dates for the parents of the married couple. I am trying to find birth and death dates for the married couple, themselves: Vito Antonio FORGIONE and Carmela LAUDISI.

Thank you for this advice (which I think may help me in other places in my research). In this case, I do not see PROCESSETTI records for 1830 Rocca San Felice on the Antenati website. Please let me know if I am wrong or if the PROCESSETTI can be found somewhere else.

Thank you,
Ellen

I am wondering if anyone has experience or advice in finding records from Rocca San Felice, Avellino. I think I got as far as I could using records I could decipher from Antenati. I am searching for birth and death information on my 3rd GGP:

Vito Antonio FORGIONE - - born ~ 1802 and died after 1868 ...

Sorry I forgot to link to the Antenati pages. Thanks for the reminder and your time!

Ellen

Thanks very much - that is a surname I have not seen before!

Ellen

I believe I found the death record of my 3rd great-grandfather: Gennaro MARRA from 1829. I wonder if anyone here can help decipher the surname of his mother. I am attaching both the death record and the entry from the index.

Also, I am used to seeing the name of the spouse on the death records but ...

Thank you very much for your reply and taking the time to help me!
