I learned a lot. Now I need to but my knowledge into practice.
I made notes about BYU’s handwriting page, consanguinity, Stato Della Anime, qm, processetti is held at the parish level, dispensation is at the Dioceses level, the dictionary of Latin abbreviations, and affinity. Even though I’ve been working with the online church records for Acerra for years, looks like I still had more to learn. Thank you.

This session will discuss the civil marriage process in Italy and the marriage banns and files (allegati/processetti) created to supplement the marriage of couple. These documents have the potential to sometimes extend a family 3 generations pushing back into pre-civil registration era and right into Catholic Church records.

Why did your Italian ancestor have five cousins all named Joe? Why did married women travel under their maiden names? Was Sally really Serafina? This presentation explores the factors that pushed and pulled Italians to emigrate, what they found when they arrived, Italian naming patterns and name changes, and how to start your search. Knowing what their life was like in Italy helps us to understand their choices and behavior when they emigrated: why they were slow to naturalize, why the family was the most important institution, and why food was a source of celebration.
