[sumner]

Grazie Raffaella. Sorry for the mixup on the name.

I have sent the e-mail to Gino Badini. I'll post his reply as soon as it arrives.

Thanks again,
Sumner

Unfortunately the mail-to for Gino failed to work as well. If you have any more suggestions I would be happy to give them a try.

Perhaps their servers are down. My e-mail posts are being returned not for the usual "No Known Address". But because "Delivery Timed Out".

I think I'll try mailing the request. If I am going to include currency, is it appropriate for me to send US dollars? Is about $5 American considered adequate?

I received a copy of the record from Boretto in the mail today. And it included a couple of surprises. First, it showed Francesco's birthdate on 11 April 1881 instead of the 12 April 1881 that was listed on most of his American records.

The other surprise came in the name listed for Francesco's mother. It lised Antonia Dosi. Every indication that I had in American census records was that his mother's name was Mary or Maria. Francesco's father Giovanni was married to a Mary in 1895 records and Francesco listed a Mary Mingori as his mother on a 1920 Federal Census listing for his household. That would suggest a couple of possibilities. Either Antonia chose to be called Mary or Antonia either died or divorced Giovanni sometime between 1886 and 1895.

I have continued to try the e-mail address for Reggio Emila with no success. So I'll be sending a letter as soon as possible.

Grazie,
Randy

Hi Randy, I understood.. perhaps Antonia Dosi died after birth of Francesco, why are not record for Antonia Dosi emigrated, but in same travel of Francesco/Romilda/Giovanni, are some Dosi record, but not on Antonia(only: Cecilia Dosi age 40 female, Celeste Dosi age 41 male, Roberto Dosi age 8, Annibale Dosi age 6) ... I think Giovanni married newly in Italy...why in the past in Italy not possible the divorce...


about census 1895:

John Mingori 60 Mahaska city
Mary Mingori 54 Mahaska city
Ronie Mingori 16 Mahaska city
Frank Mingori 13 Mahaska city
this census are just sure ......

more: are possible to descover in USA the maiden name of Mary?for example on marriage certificate of Francesco? please let me know some your suggestion, many regards, suanj

Hi Randy: finally!!!
The Archive send you for normal mail an letter with the copy of original birth registry about Mingori Francesco...between some days you will receive !!
Many regards, Raffaella

[sumner]

Thank you for the confirmation, Raffaella. I will post whatever information is on the birth certificate when it arrives.

- Randy

[sumner]

Raffaella:

Today Francesco's birth certificate finally arrived by mail. But not from Reggio Emilia archives, but from the Comune di Boretto official who sent me my original comune birth record. That was a little surprising but perhaps that is how they operate in Reggio Emilia.

Here's the letter that accomopanied the birth certificate:

________________________________________________

Oggetto: MINGORI Francesco - 11/04/1881 Boretto

In allegato si trasmette copia integrale atto di nascita del nominato in oggetto del quale l'ufficio scrivente aveva, in data 15/09/2004 (come da fotocopia allegata) provveduto all'invio dell'estratto per riassunto.

Rimanendo a disposizione, con osservanza.

Monica Ciapparelli
L'ufficiale di stato civile

________________________________________________

And then here is the actual birth certificate. Much of it is in beautiful cursive handwriting which I will show in italics. But some of it is tough to read. But I'll do my best to transcribe it.

Thank you very much, Raffaella. I am sure I misspelled a few of the words in the document. It is difficult to read the handwriting.

I have to admit there were quite a few surprises. I had been under the impression from his American death certificate that his middle initial was C. But that record also inaccurately reported his birthday by one day.

It was also exciting to learn the names of both of Francesco's grandfathers.

Now perhaps we are prepared to start checking the church records. I am anxious to hear your suggestions of what we can request.
