<span style="font-family: "garamond";">When ordering civil
records by mail, it’s important to understand the different formats these
documents come in so that you can order the type of record that provides the
most genealogical information or meets your purpose [such as for dual
citizenship].<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond";">There are four main
formats of records that can be provided. These documents are derivatives of the
original document and do not contain all of the information within the original
record, except for the first one below. Because they are derivative records,
there is a chance for error in the transcription process and information from
the original that is not considered to be important is omitted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "garamond";">·<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Atto Integrale [Integral Act] </b>– This
form is a photocopy of the original record with the certification of the civil
office that prepared it, attesting to its authenticity. If you want the record
in this format, you need to specifically ask for it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-indent: -.25in;">

provide and is often used in legal proceedings. If you order this type of
document for dual citizenship purposes, you must ask want them to include
parental names then you must specifically ask for this. Otherwise, the document
will include the name of the subject of the record, the date, record number,
and whether it was found in the first or second register for that year. They
may note if there were any annotations in the margin of a birth record but not
always.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-indent: -.25in;">

information from the original document. There is also a type of extract called
an Estratto Per Riassunto Dai Registri [Extracted summary of the registers]
that is a more detailed form of extract and includes the parent’s names and the
time of birth [on a birth record extract]. The formats of these extracts vary
slightly by location. Extracts can be used for dual citizenship, if the parent’s
names are included.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond";">My earlier blog post titled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I Have the Estratto [Extracted Record]. I Don’t Need the Original!!</i>
demonstrates why this train of thinking can limit your research results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The </span><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">excerpt below was taken from a family history I wrote for a Sicilian family. It serves as a good example of how adding cultural context to your family history can make it more interesting and enable you to understand these ancestors within their historical time and place.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">leitmotif</i> of Sicily’s modern history has been an endless quest for
liberty and autonomy.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its position in
the Meditteranean, as well as the richness of its resources, made it a desirable
conquest for many nations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Centuries of
domination by one group after another left the island’s resources depleted and
its people, deprived of liberty and hope for so long, without of any real hope
for change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1713, after 300 years of feudalistic
Spanish rule, the Duke of Savoy was crowned the king of Sicily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sicilian people were happy for they hoped
to finally have a king who was going to reside on the island for they thought
that if he took up residence there he would see the plight of the people and be
more apt to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The following year a
Sicilian Parliament was created, yet the taxation of the island’s poorest
residents continued to be excessive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Duke attempted to understand the deep-rooted problems in Sicily but, in the
end, his attempts at change were superficial and inadequate to create many
lasting changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He filled the majority
of the governmental positions with people from Savoy or Piedmont, not with
educated Sicilians, whose condescending attitudes towards the locals soon dashed
any hopes that real change would occur. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
the midst of all of this, the papacy, in it’s power struggles with the Duke,
denied Sicilians the Catholic rites unless they defied the King’s
authority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once again, they were stuck
in the middle of a power struggle between two parties that cared little for the
damage they wrecked on the island and even less about its inhabitants.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Between
1719-20, the Spanish and Austrians fought for control of the island, destroying
valuable property and crops, and Sicily once again became the battleground for
foreign governments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Austrians won
yet the Spanish continued in their desire to rule the region. By 1734, after
conquering Naples, Charles III proclaimed himself the ruler of Spain and
Sicily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Devastated by all the wars, Sicily
was in dire need of a ruler who would take their needs into
consideration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, feudalism once
again became the way of government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 11pt;">In
all fairness, Charles III did reestablish the Sicilian parliament which gave
the people some say in the government of their island.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 11pt;">He ruled until 1759 when he turned the rule
of the island over to his nine-year old son, Ferdinand.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 11pt;">Because of his age, Ferdinand had a council
of advisors and viceroys in Sicily to carry out his decisions.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[2]</span></span></span></span></a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">By
1763, the island was in a terrible famine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people were starving yet rioters who dared demand food for their
families were summarily executed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uprisings were frequent and the response brutal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Palermo saw some attempt at beautification
towards the end of the 18<sup>th</sup> century, the rest of the island was
plunged even deeper into poverty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beautification
was not what they needed, food and the fair distribution of land was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Roving groups of bandits began to terrorize the
countryside in an attempt to “redistribute the wealth.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Banditry became a form of “upward mobility”
and came to be seen by some as the only means of self improvement and justice
for the common people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some historians
feel that these bandits were used to settle disagreements among the rural nobility, as well as believe that what later came to be known as the Mafia had its roots
in these practices.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[3]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“In Sicily, the bad social and economic

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sicily
saw some improvement in living standards during the later decades of the 18<sup>th</sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>century but by the beginning of the 19<sup>th</sup>
century revolution was in the air.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Around
this time, Spain went to war with France.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Napoleon Bonaparte such a formidable enemy, Sicily ended up
providing most of the finances, as well as the grain, needed to feed the Spanish
troops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The British became involved in
an attempt to protect Sicily and through their influence King Ferdinand
abolished feudalism and set up a government similar to Britain’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even freedom of the press was granted, a
luxury they had never before enjoyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
this mattered little for the average person because most of them were not
literate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Napoleon lost the Battle
of Waterloo in 1816, the British withdew their support and King Ferdinand proceeded
to denounce the Sicilian constitution once again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He then gave himself the new title of Ruler
of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies rather than the King of Naples and Sicily.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[5]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Napoleonic influence brought mandatory
military conscription between 1802-1814.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conscription was not popular, especially since those from the rural
areas of Sicily bore the brunt of fighting a war in which they had little
stake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, service in the Italian
army during this period did seem to help unite people from the diverse regions
of the Kingdom.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Significant
peasant rebellions occurred during the years 1820-1822, 1848-1849 and
1859-1860.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The collection of the Palermo state archive [Archivio di Stato di Palermo] lacks some civil records for these
years of rebellion, records purportedly destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often though, a
second copy of such records can be found in an Italian town archive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The cholera epidemic of 1836-37 made a bad
situation worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only was the loss
of life tragic for the island’s people, the public uprisings and subsequent
executions of participants added to the devastation and hatred of the
Spanish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was thought that cholera
was brought by soldiers from elsewhere in Italy.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[7]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Decades of on and off rebellion occurred before
Giuseppe Garibaldi brought his 1000-1800 volunteers to the island in May of
1860.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His intent was to make Sicily part
of a unified Italy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Garibaldi
promised land to any Sicilian who joined in the fight, many Sicilians donned
red shirts and fought for their survival.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By August of 1860, after only four months of war, the Spanish Bourbons were
ousted from the island.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[8]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While

<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Below is a portion of a family history that I wrote on the Lo Schiavo and Catanzaro families who originated on the island of Sicily. The resources I used for this section were particularly informative as I strove to </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">understand</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> the lives of these ancestors.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><i>The sexes held distinct roles in Sicilian society. The
father was the head of the household with the mother carrying out the decisions
of her husband and handling the families’ finances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The wife’s main objective was to pick wives
for her sons when the time came and to make sure they had a dowry for all the
daughters and a bridal gift for all the sons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Church marriage used to be the only form of marriage until 1870 when civil
marriage took precedence. After that, you will often find a couple marrying
twice, both ecclesiastically and civilly.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><i>The peasant class in Sicily consisted of five
general types of occupations: agriculture, fishing, peddlers, traveling
artisans and small shopkeepers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those
who lived in coastal were often fishermen whose work provided food as well as
income for their families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any excess
catch, over and above what a family needed, was sold to provide for other
necessities. Fishermen were considered a “lesser” class of peasant because they
had only one useful skill, while the other peasant groups were thought to have
several.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="WW-FootnoteReference12345678"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="WW-FootnoteReference12345678"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A farm worker worked hard for very little
wages, often leaving for work before dawn and returning long after sundown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others plied whatever skills they had:
entertaining, herb or firewood gathering…even grave digging could produce a

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><i>Most Sicilians were Catholic and their lives
centered on their families and the Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet polytheism, in the forms of paganism and superstitions, was also practiced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These practices were interwoven into the
Sicilian culture and practiced alongside Catholicism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even as late as the 1930’s, the dead were
sometimes buried without shoes, a leftover practice from the Saracens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paganism could be seen in the type of patron
saints revered, many of whom were not biblical but rather came from the Greek
and Roman gods of old.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3686246207414159691#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="WW-FootnoteReference12345678910"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="WW-FootnoteReference12345678910"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: AR-SA;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the use of amulets or other decorations

<br />
The municipal archives in the town of Selargius on the island of Sardinia is using Facebook as a tool to inform researchers about what type of information can be found in their archives, changes to hours of operation, initiatives or meetings that are planned, etc.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Archivio-Storico-Comunale-Selargius/193212590833451?ref=profile" target="_blank">Archivio Storico Comunale Selargius</a><br />
<br />
It's exciting to see them employing modern day tools to communicate with researchers around the world!<br />
<br />
This town even has some digitized records online, including a few years of military conscription and <a href="http://www.biblioselargius.it/pagina.php?id=274&sez=15" target="_blank">inventories</a> of their whole collection.<br />

Through this resource one can often find older, out-of-copyright, and genealogically useful books. <br />
<br />
I am going to highlight a few of these manuscripts which can be used as a means of educating oneself about the history and culture of our ancestors. Additionally, it can be used to put historical background into our family history stories.<br />

<br />
Take for example the Archivio Storico Comunale for the town of Siena. They have a great website detailing their collection.<br />
<br />
http://www.comune.siena.it/La-Citta/Cultura/Archivio-Storico<br />
<br />
They even provide you with information on how to make an appointment to research, hours of operation, and their procedures regarding making photocopies.<br />

I've set my comments apart from the text of the document by placing them in red below.<br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">The above section is the testimony of Giuseppe Fedele Covi, in order to answer a Magristrates' questions. This section would then contain primary information because it was stated by a participant in the events in question. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">What form of evidence each piece of information provides would depend on the research question. For example, if the question was "Where was Giuseppe Fedele Covi born?" then he provides direct evidence that he was born in the town of Seio in the Tirolo within his first response. Direct evidence is when the information seems to provide the answer to the research question by itself.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">However, if the research question was "Where were his three children born?" then this information provides indirect evidence that his children were born in Trieste. For indirect evidence, you have to combine various pieces of information in order to reach a genealogical conclusion. Therefore, if Giuseppe Fedele had lived in Trieste since 1829 [answer 3], married in Trieste [answer 2], and had three children by 1853 [answer 2] this evidence combines to indirectly prove that his children were born in Trieste. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">However, I would suggest seeking the children's baptismal records in order to find direct evidence for this conclusion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><i>"I hereby declare, to the praise and triumph of the genuine truth, that Giuseppe Fedele Covi, a native of Tirolo and son of the living Nicoló<b> </b>Covi, was employed in my shop in his youth, from the end of 1829 until the last months of 1833. During his service to me, he behaved with great willingness and activity and was well known for his honesty.

<div>
<br clear="all" />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">If the research question was "Who was Giuseppe Fedele Covi's father?" then the testimonial section by Giacomo Antonio Depaul provides direct evidence that his father's name was Nicolo Covi. However, because he was likely not a direct participant or eyewitness to the birth of Giuseppe Fedele Covi it provides secondary information.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Could Giacomo Antonio Depaul have personally known Nicolo Covi? Sure, but this document doesn't provide evidence of that either way. Therefore, we have to evaluate what evidence it does provide and assign the appropriate evidentiary strength to each piece of information.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">The civil birth record abstracted below was very typical for this time period and offered few surprises. It was on a pre-printed form with the appropriate information filled in. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">The father’s age was given but not the mother’s. They do not outright state this family lived in a hamlet, as often seen when this is the case. However, it is intimated when they give a street name and not a house number. Homes in a hamlet were often not numbered.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Santo’s birth was
reported to the town hall in San Martino di Finita on 16 October 1886 at 10:00
a.m. Reporting his birth was his father, Pietro Tricarico. Pietro was
twenty-six years old [born about 1860], a farm laborer, and resident of San
Martino.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

male child he was presenting was born on the 13<sup>th</sup> of the current
month in his home on Via Santa Maria [house number blank]. The child’s mother was
Rosaria Corno, his legitimate wife, with whom he resided. Rosaria was noted to
be a seamstress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The child was given the
name Santo. The witnesses to the presentation and declaration were: Pietro
Lombardo, age sixty, and an onion seller as well as Domenico Pazzia, age sixty,
and a farm laborer. Both of the witnesses resided in this town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua;"><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">The longer you research your Italian ancestors, the more chances you have to see peculiarities or differences within the records. Let's look at the birth record of Maria Carolina Perri.</span></span></div>

Carolina’s birth was reported to the Nicastro town hall on 14 October 1835 at
4:00 p.m. by her father Antonio Perri.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Antonio was the son of the deceased Giuseppe
[Perri], a farm laborer, and a resident on Strada Calia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

declaration were: Saverio di Alessio, age thirty-eight, a farm laborer, and
resident of Nicastro as well as Francesco Antonio Angello, age forty-eight, a
servant and resident of Nicastro.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Neither the declarant nor the witnesses were literate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The following record in this register also did not contain any baptismal information. Perhaps the priest at that time
was not good at returning the notice of baptisms. The civil official would have given the
priest two copies of a notice of birth, which included a section in which to
record when the child was baptized. The
priest would then fill in the appropriate information and return one copy to
the town hall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

street this family lived on was unclear in the extracted record found in Maria
Carolina’s marriage supplements. It is more clearly stated in this document. Seeking the original copy of a document is always wise, as there are more chances for transcription error within any extracted copy.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Often we encounter occupational terms within the Italian records which are no longer in use. One such term is a "forese". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4woK83ITKDpPvki_qig63n98WaRyKzzdiAIYW79tK0C98KluZ0GanszeXiad7GC0Lf8z3AmfY_FByS9QAAunXp8GY-c24BZFAFkqxGNham5bRYo4YdgSpTI-FKL5jNi0Jis4ZnPFOxxV5/s1600/P1040150.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4woK83ITKDpPvki_qig63n98WaRyKzzdiAIYW79tK0C98KluZ0GanszeXiad7GC0Lf8z3AmfY_FByS9QAAunXp8GY-c24BZFAFkqxGNham5bRYo4YdgSpTI-FKL5jNi0Jis4ZnPFOxxV5/s1600/P1040150.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This occupational designation is a derivative of the designation "forestiero" [in Latin: foris] and means a person working and sometimes living in the countryside surrounding a town, usually a farmer or someone in the forestry trade in more mountainous terrains. This designation is often used interchangeably with the various terms for a farmer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The picture above shows a typical farmer's home in northern Italy. Note the stone enclosure on the side of the house for containing the animals at night.</div>

FamilySearch has an exciting set of microfilmed records titled "Riveli di beni e anime di Sicilia (comuni vari), 1730-1823." From the title, one might think that the resource contains records of the parish census (some call these "manorial records") that were called Riveli in Sicily.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the description in FamilySearch's catalog dispels this notion and reveals what could be an awesome resource for those researching abandoned children in the late 18th and early 19th century. Additionally, some hospital records are also included.</div>
<i><br /></i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Miscellaneous and administrative hospital records and records of orphans born in Sicily. Volumes include a variety of cities from throughout Sicily. Some records are administrative only and do not contain names. Hospital records often will include names of residents and their illnesses. Orphan records may include the names of the mothers, if known, or may name adoptive parents." </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>--- FamilySearch catalog</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are 52 microfilms of these records. Some microfilms are noted to contain the records of certain towns and others are noted to contain the records of various towns.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watch for future posts that will show examples of these records and what genealogical information can be gleaned from them!</div>

<br />
"An exciting new initiative is making Italian ecclesiastical records more easily available and found. The website is called <em>La Memoria dei Sacramenti</em> and is an interdiocese initiative to preserve these records and record where the original records can be found.<br />
<br />
This is not a digitization project but rather a portal through which to find what records are available for a particular parish, gain permission to research the records on-site, or through which to order extracts, certified copies, or digital images of the documents. Additionally, each one of the registers will be indexed by name and you can perform a search of the database for your ancestor's records.<br />
<br />
The website also provides a means of searching for parishes and civil jurisdictions (pre-1901) by the name of a particular town which may help you narrow down what parishes may need to be searched.<br />
<br />
Still in the beginning stages, there is much work to do. Currently, five regions have records within their database:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Liguria</strong> (currently only the province of Genova)</li>
<li><strong>Sicilia</strong> (currently only the province of Enna)</li>
<li><strong>Toscana</strong> (currently the provinces of Arezzo, Firenze, Grosseto, Livorno, Pisa, and Siena)</li>
<li><strong>Sardegna</strong> (currently only the province of Cagliari)</li>
<li><strong>Veneto</strong> (currently only the province of Vicenza)"</li>
</ul>
<br />
This site can now be found at: <a href="http://registriparrocchiali.weebly.com/" target="_blank">La Memoria dei Sacramenti</a> This appears to be a website they used before moving to the one referenced in 2013. However, there appears to be new entries.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />
<br />
Excitingly, some of these records are now being indexed and the indexes placed online! However, most just tell you what is in a parish's collection and where to find it. This can be a valuable resource in itself. An example of one of the entries listing available records is:<br />
