Neat Platt map of Prosdocimo house(s) on Imperial Street
in 1923

Pittsburgh Library

WOW Valarie!!!!
What a great map!!!
Thank you.....I'm very impressed... we can see Prosdocimo's house and his neighborough's houses (Laface and Polito)...
I noticed that Giuseppe Prosdocimo in his first trip in 1902 was travelling with Laface Antonio Vincenzo and them both declared to joining the brother Pasquale (maybe they were step-brother?)

This is a big image of Imperial street with Prosdocimo's house....

Hey Biff !
I really like looking up my family’s addresses.
Did you notice that google maps sometimes pops up with an image?
I can never find the platt books & area maps on ancestry, so I added
them as a bookmark

Sure this person was Amelia's nephew because he was joining his uncle Gregorio Olivo in Pittsburgh 2413 Phillips Avenue...

Edit:
I noticed that in the same arrival manifest about Giuseppe and Amelia Prosdocimo there was another Lamanna, Antonio (possible another nephew?) going to meet his brother Serafino in Pittsburgh 2211 Imperial street leaving in Italy his father Luigi (Concetta Lamanna's brother?)...
All these dates confirm the maiden name about Amelia's mother Concetta (Lamanna)...

You can write a letter only written in italian, to get your Giuseppe Prosdocimo real birth record (so you can read his parents names, ages, occupation, address where birth occurred) to:

Comune
Ufficio di Stato civile
Corso V. Emanuele III, 1
CAP 88050
Fossato Serralta (CZ)

I hope it helps
bye Riccardo

How does that process work? And is there a place I can get a letter translated?

The process work this way:
1) I suggest you to make a phone call to Fossalto Serralta civil record office in order to see what is the best way to send a request for a copy from real birth record.

2) It takes about one month for them to reply

3) A lot of people of this forum can help you to write the request, or you can hire someone.

I hope it helps
bye Riccardo

Wow you guys are amazing. I will be showing this to my grandfather tomorrow. Those pictures from Allderdice high school are my great uncle and my great aunts. I'm sure my pap will get a kick out of them. I can't believe you all found all of this stuff. Anything else you guys can find is much appreciated.

Jeez, I cannot believe how much stuff you guys have found. I really appreciate all of this.

[Prosdo]

If I am able to find the parents of Giuseppe Prosdocimo. Would I be able to research on Ancestry.com or would I have to continue with contact to Italy?

[Prosdo]

Anyone know?

[pink67]

Hi Prosdo,

Ancestry.com doesn't have italian records on line, if you can find the exact birth dates of Giuseppe Prosdocimo's parents you can search in the Family History Center's microfilms.
They have films about Fossato Serralta Civil records from 1809 to 1871, so the year range is ok for Giuseppe's parents...

Ricbru told you how to obtain more dates about Giuseppe and his family directly from Fossato serralta Comune:

You can write a letter only written in italian, to get your Giuseppe Prosdocimo real birth record (so you can read his parents names, ages, occupation, address where birth occurred) to:

Comune
Ufficio di Stato civile
Corso V. Emanuele III, 1
CAP 88050
Fossato Serralta (CZ)

I hope it helps
bye Riccardo

Perhaps, first you can ask for the birth act of Giuseppe to the Comune and then search in the microfilms his parents's births....

Laura

[Prosdo]

Thanks so much

[Prosdo]

I am getting ready to send the letter. What do I need to include in the envelop?

[PeterTimber]

The Mormon church recommends sending some money since the service is free for you and the poorly paid clerks do their research for written requests at the end of day sinc e they are obliged to take care of walk-ins first and hence the 4-6 week delay in your getting a response.

I normally send $10.00 but you can send $5.00 if you wish. Sometimes they return the money withthe documents and sometimes they have a coffee on you. I have never experienced any loss of money or service. =Peter=
