Re: Gasparri, Guerrini
Good luck with Sorano. I have tried off and on for several years and even had a very notable university professor to intercede for me. The office told him they are too busy with the living to worry about the dead. I have not received one thing from them, and I sent letters in Italian with Italian po...

Re: Italian Occupations
Thanks Carmine. I hope I didn't submit this twice, but if I did, forgive me. I typed and then it didn't go through. The definition that I posted above from the Italian to English Vocabulary Dictionary: word colono is found still in early 19th Century Italian civil registers. Later it is replaced ent...

Process for Italian Citizenship
It has been awhile since I read posts about the dual citizenship, and back a a year or so ago there were a lot of posts including about the ability to gain citizenship through the mother. I am pretty sure I qualify since I was born in 1949 and fall within the birth year requirement to apply through ...

Re: Italian Occupations
That's what makes sense to me, given that they uprooted a few years later. What threw me was the 19th century definition where colono is a land owner, but obviously the definition changed within the 100 years.

Italian Occupations
Please clarify if you know. My great grandfather (born 1860) left his home in 1912 for a town nearby. I have a document that names a podere (farm) as his address and his occupation as colono. In the Italian to English Vocabulary Dictionary, colono is defined as below: The "profession or conditi...

Re: The Making of a Stato di Famiglia
Some of the LDS films that I am using have indices on them and some do not. Some are alphabetical by FIRST NAME (for some reason), which would certainly not help them do their research easily. When they research and see that the index is missing or first-name alphabetical, I wonder if they take the ...

Re: The Making of a Stato di Famiglia
Thanks, Ann and Paul. I read here and elsewhere that it is a nuisance for them to do these. Now I have a better understand of the mechanics to prepare one. Good to know. I have a few of these with the oldest head of the house being born 1834 and others with the head of the house 1851. I am fortunate...

Stillbirth Registration
My Calabrian grandmother had twins, but I do not know if they lived awhile or were stillbirths, or what. I began to look for a source to tell me when Italy began registration of stillbirths. This is from the World Health Organization (copied/pasted) via Tendenze evolutive della mortalità infantile i...

Re: Ancestors with Hyphenated Name: Capuozzo-Capozzi
I have a similar experience to share with you. I obtained my grandfather's birth record extract from his town of origin in Calabria and it showed TWO surnames -- not hyphenated, but a double surname. His father (my GGF) was born out of wedlock and 24 years later just prior to his marriage, his natur...

Re: Is Casto an Italian name?
Where in WV? Maybe I can provide another Casto family, but in the Steubenville OH. Steubenville is in close proximity to PA, WV, and OH in a sort of triangle. I worked with two sisters with the Casto name. I am not in touch with them personally right now, but I can make the connection for you.

Re: Family Software version 2010
Thanks for reading my frustration. I did not get a reply from FTM, so I called. I was informed that versions 2009 and 2010 do not have the automatic ID number assigned to each new person and that I should buy 2011 because they put it back in because lots of people want it. How more frustrating it mu...
