Hi all,
I've been trying to locate a birth record for a Rosaria Valenzisi, born to parents Giuseppe, and Catarina Misiano in Cinquefrondi, Reggio di Calabria. I have a death record for her - she died 18 February 1835, at 'mesi nove' (nine months) which means she was born around May 1834. However, I cannot locate her birth registration?! I even checked 1833 and nothing.
Here is 1834: http://codh.rois.ac.jp/software/iiif-cu ... 88&lang=en
I've checked a few of the surrounding towns (Anoia, Maropati, Polistena) and nothing there either but it does say on the death record she was born in Cinquefrondi.
Can anyone help? Quite puzzled. I even checked the entire list of names in case she was a 'Antonia Rosaria' for example. Is there a chance they never registered her at all?
Lastly, I cannot for the life of me locate the marriage record for Giuseppe and Catarina. I think I've searched between 1814 and 1837 (in Cinquefrondi) and haven't found anything (but if Rosaria was born in 1834 it's likely they were married before this time).
Have checked a few surrounding towns as well but again, have come up stumps.
Appreciate any assistance, grazie.

Hello,
do you have Giuseppe's and/or Carolina's death records?
They should state where they were born, and that may be where they were married.

Re: Birth record missing?! (Cinquefrondi, Reggio di Calabria)
No, however I came across a FamilySearch record that said Giuseppe's father was from Giffone. And I've just found Rosaria's birth registration from Giffone!!! Amazing... Finally!
I'm now wondering whether Giuseppe and Catarina were married in Giffone too (and moved to Cinquefrondi later where they had their other children). It could be the reason why I haven't been able to find anything about them, looking in the wrong town completely. There seems to be a LOT more Valenzisi's in these records.
