PACENTRO AND I"M in USA

[alshiel]

Hello,

I'm in the USA. I need to know if anyone knows where I can send my letter requesting my ancestor files? They are the Agostinelli family from Pacentro.

His name was Carlo born in 1899 and his mother was Tucoronata (CoraO Dinello born around 1878. She married Vincenzo Agositinelli who went by Jim in the USA.

Cora and Carlo moved to the USA in 1910. I think Jim came in 1905.

Her dad was Orario Dinello. That was her surname.

If anyone knows the address of where I can write to get records please email me at alshiel818@yahoo.com.

Thankyou.
Anita

Ask for a birth extract, not a birth certificate. A birth certificate only has the child's name and date of birth...no other info. An extract has name of parents, place born, etc.

Hi Anita,

This is a link to filmed civil records (1809-1865) for the comune of Pacentro, which you can order @ your local FHC when you get your reply.

Do you have their immigration records, naturalization papers, census records, death certifates? If not, these are things that you can look for while waiting for a reply from Italy.

Ask for a birth extract, not a birth certificate. A birth certificate only has the child's name and date of birth...no other info. An extract has name of parents, place born, etc.

You can also request a copy of the birth act.
After you understand the year of birth of you ancestors father, there are available the Pacentro civil record microfilm, from 1809 to 1865, to FHL (mormon church)

Archivio di Stato di L'Aquila

Good luck for your research, bye Riccardo

The Ufficio dello Stato Civile in Pacentro will most likely not reply to a request in English or very bad Italian. I write and speak Italian and even then I didn't get a reply. I had to go there personally to get records for my family and even then it was not easy.

You need exact dates, exact spellings and correct parents (father and mother). Agostinelli and Di Nello are fairly common surnames in Pacentro and several people of the same generation can even have the exact same name.

I recommend you try and find records in your family papers which will get you to an ancestor who was born in 1865 or before. The LDS Family History Center will be able to help you then.

Hope this helps,

Mark
