Thanks again! Can you tell me how I go about getting birth certificates for my father and my grandparents?

[Piccioli]

Thanks Valerie! After my parents died (I was only 13, which is why I know so little about my family), I went to live with my Uncle Ernest and his wife. They had inherited the house at 1031 Myers Avenue. Thanks also for the info on Thomas Radicchi. My Uncle Tommy lived at 1023 Myers Ave. His wife, Pierina, was my Godmother. It was nice to learn when he came to the US and that my Grandfather Fortunato was his witness for naturalization.

Anna Maria, I'm glad those records were useful .

As far as your question on birth certificates (called acts),
normally I check the LDS FamilySearch site.

It appears they don't have microfilm in their library for your father's
bithplace: Serravalle di Carda.

That means that you'll need to write directly to the town.

Wish I were better at helping with that direction, but
others can help with how/were to write .

Anna Maria,

I'm also a Coal Cracker; I was born and raised just "up the line" in Carbondale.

Let's see what we can do to help you write to Italy for records.

Since Fortunato and family was from the hamlet (frazione) of Serravalle di Carda in the town (comune) of Apecchio in the province of Pesaro-Urbino - region: Marche, you'll need to write to Apecchio to request records. Here's the address to write for records.

Ufficio dello Stato Civile
Comune di Apecchio
Via XX Settembre, 25
61042 Apecchio (PU)
ITALY

Your request should be in Italian and include as much information as possible to help expedite the location of records. If we can nail down the details, I'd request four documents--the birth records for Fortunato, Francesca and Stefano plus the marriage record for Fortunato and Francesca. And rather than an extract, I'd request integral copies since they contain more detailed information.

Here's my grandfather's records
Birth Extract

Integral Copy
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/6748 ... inapc0.jpg

As you can see, besides giving date of birth and parents' names, the integral copy also gives parents' ages, occupations, time of birth, address where birth took place and witnesses.

Do you know what Francesca's maiden name was (the manifest Valarie posted gave her married name)? And the birthdates of your grandparents and father? Fortunato's WWI Draft card states 10 Mar 1877.

Let's get our information together and then we'll work on composing the letter. I'll give you a hand drafting the letter and I'm sure that a number of others will help to correct and polish the translation.

My brother Stephen Jr. lived all of his married life in Carbondale on Howard Street. You have to admit that the Blakely Bears were one powerful football team.

I will get the information about birthdates and let you know as soon as I can find them. My father was born May 10, 1899. That's the day we always celebrated it but I also saw somewhere that it said he was born on May 12, 1899. I do know that my grandmother's maiden name was Pierini.
I will check on her birthday and get back to you.

Thanks again,
Anna Maria

Anna Maria,

Our family lived on Belmont Street. Besides working as the yard hostler on the Delaware & Hudson, my grandfather and my grandmother with the rest of the family owned and operated Bifano's Restaurant and Grille which was located on the ground floor of the family homestead.

Once you can get the birthdate for your grandmother, we'll get working on that letter to the town. Sorry for that Senior Moment I had about your grandmother's maiden name.

Hello! Is anyone still on this thread? I know it has been many years, but I just came across this site and was excited to see the information here. My grandmother was born Maria Piccioli, known as Mary. She was the second daughter of Fortunato and Francesca. I remember very well her older sister, my great aunt Pierina, and her youngest brother, Ernie.

My records show the Italian village they came from as Serravalle di Chienti (not Carda). In fact, I have been there, but only briefly, and did not have time to do any research. Someday I will go back, poke around some more, and stop by the church in hopes of finding some old records (it was closed for renovations when I was last there).

I have not yet gone through all the wonderful information and documents on this page, but I certainly will. In the meantime, I am attaching a photo my grandmother gave me. From the ages of the children, I'm guessing this was taken around 1932. I have others, and more information, if anyone's still on this page.
