A Call to Extract Italian Records
You have been called to extract names from vital recdrds written in Italian. This may become one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of your life. Through the Records Extraction Program, you will provide thousands with the opportunity to receive the saving ordinances of the gospel-something they could not do for themselves.
As you might imagine, reading old Italian records is more challenging than reading modem documents. Besides having to become familiar with foreign words, you will be confronted by unfamiliar abbreviations and poor handwriting. Despite these difficultils, you will soon be able to extract faniily history from old Italian records with ease and accuracy and, undoubtedly, you will feel the Spirit guide you in your work. Objectives of the Manual
This manual will help you learn to extract family history data from records vtrlitten in Italian. Specifically, it will help you identify the following kinds of information:
Birth Records Child Father Mother Other individuals Dates Places
Marriage Records Bride Groom Parents Other individuals Dates Places Other Entries (such as death records, etc.) Names Dates Places

BRlEF OVERVIEW OF ITAL

PARISH RECORDS
CORDS
The earliest records available to us date back to a 1563, when the Romah Catholic Church established rules governing the creation and maintenance of parish registers, The decree included instructions for recording the date, place, and: type of ceremony performed. The names of the principals and witnesses or godparents were also yecorqed - and each entry was closed with the signature of the officiating priest. Most of the parish records were written in Latin. Although other recording systems were eventually introduced in Xtdy, Catholic parishes continued to maintain records.
'
C M L REGISTERS
Lzf 1803. civil registers were created. Because Caiholicism was +e official state religion until 1984, civil registers contain both the civil registrations and-h e Catholic sacraments. These Italian registers (called Regisb-o Civile) kept by d l municipalities-were written in Italian.
Most Italian civil registers and the more recent parish registers contain indexs. These indexes, made yeariy or every 10 years, nomafly consist of the date of the ordinance, the names of the pricipals, and the names sf the parents. Extraction indexes are used mainly to venfy spelling of names and conectness of dates. When an index is the onB-j record extant of a certain locality it can be extracted.
EXTRACTS
A n extract (esttrato) is a certificate for birth, marriage or death. Extracts were written by a town registrar or parish priest. (at the registrar's request) to verify a bk@, marriage, or death. These are not extracted, but they can provide additional infarmation such as a groom's or bride's birthplace or marriage date.
EXTRACTION PROCEDUES
As an extractor you will be using microfilm copies of the Italian Registro Civile and parish registers. You will work most frequently with christening and mamage records. Occasionally you may also work with death records, indexes, and extracts. Foreuaately, the Italian Regkstro Civile is recorded on a pre-prin3:ed form. Although some differences in layout and bozdbuldrk exist Itom one locality to another, each f m a t contains key words or phases which easily identify a particular part of the record. Those words that do change are mostly extractable information, such as names anb dVates. ,,By being able to iden* , / r peach part of the format, you will be able to locate the iYf6hation 'to be ~i;nacted.'~ ~ccasibhally, handvirlittkn enh?es h k e been inserted into the register at random. These are more cga.edg&g because they contain many handwriting styles, unfamiliar words, md abbreviations. I.nQlots, bleed through, torn or worm-eaten pages, misspellings, woi& ~~&'~o~the1-~'m&sing gamlLrs'a~ia1 marks, md saange sentence construction a l l combine to m&e these more difficult to read, but you will eveamally be blessed with the ability to exb-act these records.

TRANSLATION OF THE CIVIL BIRTH REGISTER

.,
Although you don't have to know every word in the record to extract the essential information, you may find it helpful to see a sanslation of the record and compare the vocabulary, spelling, and word order of the two languages. Order number 12 The year One Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty Three, the 15th day of February+ at lf o'clock before Stephuno Carbonetta Assessor delegated functionary of Mayor and Official of tlie Civil State of Perano Province of Abruzzo Citra, has appeared Guiseppe de Lucia son of the deceased Michelangelo of years fouriy five of profession farmer domiciled in Perano, whom to us has presented a female child acordirng to what we have visually recognized, and1 declared that the same was born of Camina Giordanoi of years thirty five domiciled in Perano and of the deckasant of years fourty j-lve. of profession farmer domiciled in Perano on the day fourn the teen of the above noted month at eighteen o'clock i home of their own on Piranello street The same, moreover, has declared to give Me newborn child the name of Antonia The presentation and declaration aforesaid was xnde i n t ! ~ epresence of Sehasiian di Nardo of profession shop owner native domiciled E ' n Perario and of Matteo Angelucd of profession carpenter native domiciled in Persano witnesses to the present act and of Giuseppe de Lucia produced.

HANDWRITING As an extractor, you will need to leam to read the handwriting styles of various scribes. The handwriting on page 7 may at first appear quite strange, but as you examine it carefully, you will find many letters that are similar to your own handwriting. Sane letters (most noticeably D, 6, P, R, and S) are formed n older Italian documents, the hifferently . . fro& ~ h ~ l i kanfitten sh letters. Also, i letter i is often represented as j. When a word had two I's together, Italian printers would use the letter j instead. For exmple, the plural of the word testimoni (witness) is testimonii, but an Italian printer would usually print it testimonj.
You will find that handwriting in Italian is just as varied as writing is i~ English. Common foms of the letters in the alphabet are shown below. (An entire section on handwriting helps appears on pages 4 through 12 in the Italian Handwriting section.)
ACTIVITY 2. COPYING (TRANSCPUBING) A RECORD
One way to become aquainted with handwriting quickly is to transcribe some actual handwritten text. Below is'a blank form much like the completed one on page 7. Copy the Italian words from that page into the blanks below, but form the letters in your normal handwriting. Use pencil so that you will have the freedom and confidence to experiment. Copy as much as you can from the original record on page 7 without looking at a n y k g else.

ORGANIZATION OF CIVIL BIRTH RECORDS

of preprinted Italian civil records is that the information you will be ,., advantage ., looking f ~ is r located in approximately the same part of the record on each page. Even .though page. formats varied from locality to locality, they were remarkably similar. On page:.? . . . is a typical example civil records forms.
,
PAGE AND DOClJMEPdT NUMBELPS
Nwn. d'ordine 12
You can usually locate an entry in recent Italian civil registers quickly because entries and pages are usually numbered with symbols (1, 2, 3) rather than with words (one, two, three). The box to the left is the document number or, more accurately, the "number of the document order." No page number is shown on the example on page 8, but, when page numbers are included, they usually appear to the right of the dycument number as in the example to the right, above. Page numbers are written only on the front of pages, however, because the kont and back of a sheet of paper were considered to be one page. Document and page numbers are used only to help you track your position in a microfib they are not ex~acted.

DATES
,
Find the example above in the record on page 7. Most entries begin with the date. It is usually listed in one of two ways: Year Day Month (1759 1 July) or Day Month Year (1 July 1759). In civil registers, however, dates are usually written out. The example above says L'anno (The year) mille (one thousand) ottocento (eight hundred) sessanta (sixty) tre (three), it di quindici (on the day fifteen) di Pebbraio (of February). The date on which the birth was registered and the actual date of birth are the dates you will record. The baptismal date is not extracted when you are working from the Civil Register. If you cannot detemhe the day, record only the month and year; but do not record the day without the month. (You may be able to discover the identity ofjan illegible birch month or year by comparing it with the date i n the baptismal statement.)
The hour of the day at which the child was born or when the entq was completed can also be given. Italy uses the 24 hour clock. This means that on some records their ore 4 would correspond to am 4 a.m. and their ore Id would correspond to our 4 pm. When they do break their time into morning and afternoon their version of a.m. is anti. (antimeridkno) and p.m. is porn. (porneridiano). It is helpful to know the system used for recording clock times, even though you don't extract that information, because it usually appears w i t h the date infomation.

ACTIVITY 4. FINDING EVENT AND BIRTH DATES AND TIMES OF BIRTH

On pages 143 through 147 in the Sample Records section, you will see copies sf xccrds found i n Italian civil registers. Even though you will rarely have any ~eas011 to refer to the hour of birth, it is important that you recognize when the text is refering to the hour so that you won't confuse it with the date of birth. Sometimes the "event date" (in civil birtlh registers, this is the date the record was made) is different fi-om the birth date. FOP that reason we extract both the "event date" and the birth date.

In the example above, Stefano Carbonetta is the official completing the entry. His position is assessore delegato funzwndo & Sindaco, an assessor assigned by the Mayor. The record also notes that he is an omiak of the civil state of Perano, province of Abruzzo Citra. These phrases establish the authority by which the entry was recorded. Your main purpose for identfying the officiating agent is to eliminate any confusion between him and the father of the child. You must be careful ,that you don't List him as the child's father.

Find the example above in the record on page 7. The sex and legitimacy phrase precisely identifies the sex and legitimacy of the child. In the above example, una femrnina (a female) was presented.
Identifying sex of principal. In English, gender only relates to the male or female of a species. In Italian, all nouns have gender. For example, the word occhio (eye) is masculine; the word orechhia (ear) is feminine. Gender is indicated by the last letter of the noun and, usually, the article. (Articles are words like the or a). To indicate the sex of a person in Italian you end these words with the letter a (una femmina) for females and o (un maschio) for males. Adjectives used with the noun will also have this ending: adoptiva figlia (adopted daughter) adoptivo figlio (adopted son). Likewise, an individual whose name ends with a (Angela) is usually a female. An individual whose name ends with o is usually male. You must rely heavily upon word endings to determine the sex of a child or parent. Legitimacy statement. Often a statement of legitimacy accompanies identification of the child's sex (example: sua kgitima figlia (her ligitimate daughter), but in the example above no statement of legitimacy appears in the sex phrase.
TecltsBically, children are not illegitimate-parents are. Therefore, legitimacy is not extracted. It is important to recognize the statement, however, because there are times when the statement of. legitimacy is the only statement you can read that indicates the child's sex.

The parental phrase names the child's mother and father. It can also include such information as family names, surnames, ages of parents, professions, and places of residence. 'Ibis phrase might also identify the declarant. The example above refers to esso dichiarante (this declarant) as the father of the child and gives his age, profession, and residence. The key words e nata da (was born of) clarifies who gave birth to the child. The name of the mother is then given as Cannina Giordano. Her age and residence follow. You must pay .close attention to legitimacy statements because, when the parents were illegitimate parents, fie recorder may have omitted the names of both or one of them. In some instances, it may not be clear whether the entry contains the names of the legal or the natural parents.

Find the example above in the record on page 7. The civil register does not officially establish the child's birthdate. Therefore, the birthdate is not'used for processing. You should extract it, however, because it provides additional infomation for genealogical research.
The example above gives the child's birthdate as the 14th (quattordici) of the above given month (del slsiletto mese)-which, you remember, was February-at 18 o'clock (a& ore dicwtto).

Find the example above in the record on page 7. The child is the "principal." Extract the child's name whenever it is given. In the example, the child's name is introduced by the phrase di dare a h neonata il nome di (to give to the neonate the name of). If the child had more than one given name, the phrase would end i nomi di (the names of). The chief clue for identifying the child's name is a combination of the verb dare (to give) and the noun nome (name).

SIGNATURES
Find the example above in the record on page 4. The law required that the entry be signed by the officiating-agent, the witnesses, and the father of the child. Signatures can be used to clarify the spelling of parent's names. Many times (as in this example: dichiarante ha assenta di non super scrivere) the father did not know how to write. The officiating agent noted the fact and signed for him.,
OTHER RELATIVES
In some records there is a place for the grandparents' names to be written. In others the recorder wrote this information even though the printed form didn't ask for it. In the example above we are told that h cornparso (the declarant) Giuseppe de Lucia is figlio del fu (the son of the deceased) Michelangelo.
In some cases t& name of another relative, such as an uncle (21o) or aunt (zia), may be named. These names are not used for processing, but you will indicate that additional relatives are named, because they provide additional information for genealogical research.

BAPTISMAL NOTATION
The baptismal notation is the column to the right of the vertical line on the record shown on page 7. The notation supplies additional information which can sometimes help you decipher the information in the main part of the form. For example, the date and month of the baptism may help you decipher the date of the entry; spelling of names and places can also be compared. The baptismal date can be used for the event date when no registration date is found in the record.

REVIEW QF WHAT TO EXTRACT FROM A CIVIL BIRTH ENTRY

As you learned on pages 4 and 5, the only information you will extract from a civil birth register will be the child's name, sex, age, date of bixth, place of birth, and the names of parents and grandparent. The example below shows only one of the many variations of the civil birth record, but the records have enough in common that this example should be of help to you. The information hat you will extract is written in bold capital letters. (Other potentially helpful information is shown in parentheses.)

PARISH CHRISTENING RECORDS

Parish christening entries were \aaitm entirely by hand. They were also organized differently from civil birth records; however, they contain similar extractable information. I N F O W T I O N AVAILABLE FROM PARISH C m S E N I N G ENTRlOES Date Name of child Gender

Name of officiating priest Names of godparents
SAMPLE5 PARISH CHRISTENING RECORD
Below is a copy of a Parish Christening Record from the town of Carpenedolo, Italy. Watch for the same key words in handwritten records that you looked for i n the preprinted records.
ACTIVITY 16. COPYlNG (TRANSCRIBING) A A C O R D

This activity is designed to help you increase your fluency in reading handwritten Italian words. Because the parish christening entry does not have a preprinted form as a civil birth entry does, you may have to descipher most of the words in order to know what to extract. Copy the Italian handwritten words from the parish christening record on the previous page onto the lines below, but form the letters in your normal handwriting. Use pencil so that you will have the confidence to experiment. Copy as much as you can from the original record above without looking at anything else.
'
w h e n you have transcribed all you can, refer to the transcribed copy in the Key on page 234.1
ORGANIZATION OF PARISH CmSTENING RECORDS

Parish christening records are somewhat standardized in format so that extractable information will typically be in about the same part of each record. Different recorders varied the wording enough, however, that you will have to pay close attention to detemhe which name belongs to which person.
DATES
Most parish entries begin with dates. Although this example gives the year, day, and month, some records kclude o d y the day or the /day and month. When part of the date is misshg, you must look at the top of the page or t u n back to the page where the lase complete date is found.
CHILD'S NAME
The child's name is usually found near the beginazing of the entry. When the name is introduced later, it might also follow a f o m of the word baltezzare (to baptize).
Key Words
battezzato a battezzato da me il nome di battesimo lZaquabattesimale a
baptized baptized by me (then introduces the officiating agent) the name of baptism (the name given at the time of baptism) baptism of water to
GENDER
Generally a word such as figlia (daughter) serves as a connector between the name of the child and the names of the parents.
Key Words
figlia flgfio nata nuto
daughter son born (feminine reference) born (masculine reference)
PARENTS' WAMES
The names of the parents usually follow the name of the child and are $often introduced by a phrase like the one in this example: jigh dei Legitimi Conjiugi (daughter of the legitimately married couple).
I
Key Words
2
con legitimi coniugi
and (frequently used between names of parents) with (occasionally used between names of parents) legitimately married couple. This phrase will often be abbreviated. Sample abbreviations: Ib c. keg. csni. legidi" coniugi legiff. esniugi
[See page 23 for additional terms referring to parents a d 21 regarding legitimacy statements.]
THE OFFICIATING PRIEST
In some parish entries the n m e or other designation of the officiating priest is given. It is important that you identify the priest so that you don't confuse him with the child's father. The phrase in this example is bu baite-a da me Cmsa Curato (was baptized by me the house priest). Frequently the priest will state his name rather than. Casa Curato at that point. Other phrases used to introduce parish priests are listed below.
,
Key Words
arceprete da me retore saeerdote
by me (followed by the title and name of the official) rector priest
GODPARENTS' N M S
Because of the prominent role of parents in a child's christening, their names were usually mentioned in the record. In this example, only a godmother is named: La madrina fu Bontadi Dominica di Francesco rnaritata Rode& di questa Parrochial (The Godmother was Bontadi Domenica of Francesco married Rodella of this parish.) The names of godparents are not extracted. You learn to recognize them i n order to avoid recording their names as parents of the child.
Key Words
noadrim padrino padrini
godmother godfather godparents

TRANSLATION OF THE PARISH CHRISTENING RECORD (on page xx)

1884 The day 1 January. Madelena Maria Cassa, daughter of the legally married Giuseppe of Tommaso . and Rosa Visani, born the 30th day of the past Becember,at the hour 11 in the afternoon in Via Borgo below Number . presented today in the church was baptized by me Cassa Curato. The godmother was Bontadi DOmenica of Francesco, married Rodella 'of this parish.
v
r h e stamp printed at the top of the record explains, in Latin, that on the 23rd of November 1912, this same Madelena Maria Cassa entered into a "marriage contract in the town Caspinetuli." The name of the Parish was Giovanni Battista (John the Baptist) and the name of the town is Carpenedolo. The person using the stamp substituted a personal spelling of the town in the space where the parish name would ordinarily be written. This doesn't affect the information being extracted, but it does serve to remind extractors to be alert for inconsistencies in these records.] [Notice that there is no number in the space following the letter N (which is an abbreGiation of numero); for some reason the house number (address) was never recorded.]

Chapter Four CIVIL MARRIAGE RECORDS

Marriage records are organized according to the order in which marriages were performed. Unlike christening and birth records, there can be many variables in marriage entries. Much of this information can be extracted. I N F O W T I O N AVAILABLE FROM CIVIL MARRIAGE ENTRTES Date of marriage
Q
Place of marriage Information about groom Name Birth place Birthdate Age Previous marriages Name of groom's father Name of groom's mother h.fomation about bride Name Birth place Birthdate Age Previous marriages Name of bride's father Name of bride's mother Other relatives
A sample civil marriage record appears on the following two pages. As you can see, civil marriage records contain considerably more information than do birth and christening records. Much of this information can be extracted, but you will find it necessary to sift through even more nonessential information in order to find what you need to extract. For example, you may find information about the engagement, the ceremony, postponements or cancellations, names of witnesses and unrelated participants, or even a description of the bride's dowery. Most of the time, all the information that should be extracted will appear on the first page of the marriage record.

[Although you will not uslkally use page two for extracting, is is helpful for comparing the spelling names of the husband and wife-and sometimes witnesses who are family members--with the spelling on the first page. Other information, such as verification of the completed marriage, can also be useful.]
ORGANIZATION OF CIVIL MARRIAGE RECORDS Because civil marriage records are preprinted, much of the information you will be seeking will be in the same part of each record. Still, a large part of the record is Wtten by hand. Because most of the data you are seeking appears in approximately the same place each t h e , you will soon be able to extract these records with confidence.
Remove the .civil marriage record porn pages 56 and 57 and compare it with the parts being discussed on the following pages.
DOCUMENT NYD PAGE MUMBERS.
Pages and documents are numbered in civil registers, but these numbers are not extracted. You will find them useful, however, to help you keep track of which pages have been &acted or skipped. Both sides of pages are considered to be one page. For that. reason, pages are numbered on o d y one side and a two-sided document is considered to be a single page. Because the example above is the "front side" of the page; it is the only place w h e the page a m b e r and document number of the marriage record w i l l appear. Because birth registrations, marriages, and deaths will be included in the same record book far each yea, page numbers for particular types- of records on the film may not be in sequence. As m extractor, therefore, you can't count on page nwnbers entirely to help you locate the position of pages in a filrrm.

PLACE OF 9WE MARR-TAGE

The comune W (tom of) Palomano is located in the procinch di (province of) Abnezzo.
NAME OF THE GROOM
e comparso-/rkf&
di Car-
'
7;
L/36cc*
The name of the groom follows the introductory statement t? . cornparso (appeared). Sometimes the name of the bride or groom will contain the name of the father. Natak di Carmine di Rocco literally means "Natale the son of Carmine of Rocco." You would extract it as Natalejdi Rocco.
AGE OF THE GROOM
The groom's age usually follows directly after his name and is introduced by d'mnni (of years or-as we state it in English-"age").
NAME OF GROOM'S FATHEX
Following the printed word BgUo (son) will be the name of the father. This is often prefaced by such terms as rnaggiore del (eldesi of) or minore del (youngest of); sometimes the tern fii (the deceased) is also added. You would extract father's name thus: Caanine/di Rocco. You will not extract his age, even though it may be given. There may also appear a statement concerning a deceased wife. Watch for phrases such (widower) or di-rn~rte (the death) to help you recognize when a reference is as v e d o v ~ to a deceased wife rather than a parent.
W OF GROOM'S MOTHER
The name of the groom's mother will usually follow rather closely after the name of the groom's father. It will typically be introduced by e di (and of). You will not extract her age, even though it may be given.
NAME OF BRIDE
Quite often, just before the name of the bride, you will see a (2), meaning "the second part." The name may also be introduced by a phrase like B cornparso egualmente (and appeared likewise). Sometimes a large E or t? will be used instead of the traditional 2 to begin the phrase. Occasionally you will encounter phrases like d'alfra parte (the other part or from the other side) or de seconda parte (the second part) or simply con (with).
AGE OF BRTDE
After the bride's name, the phrase di anni will usually de used to introdLce the bride's age. This may be accompanied by a term like concaio (potter) to describe her professione. Because the exact sequence of each statement was not stipulated, officials sometimes scrambled dates i n ways that may not seem logical to you, such as in this example: the name of the bride's father was inserted ahead of the statement about the bride's age.
Typically the name of the bride's father will follow a statement of the bride's age. There are occasions, however, when the mother's name will be listed first. After a 'word like figlia (daughter) you might have a term like rnadre (mother) or padre (father) accompanying the name of the parent. There may also appear a statement concerning a deceased husband. Watch for phrases such as vedova (widow) or di mode (the death) to help you recognize when a statement refers to a deceased husband rather than to a parent.
NAME OF BRIDE'S MOTHER
After the name, profession, and age of the bride's father, watch for the small phrase e di (and of) to introduce the name of the mother.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A B O m PARISH MARRIAGE RECORDS MARGINAL NOTATIONS
Civil registers rarely contain marginal notations, but when they do you should be particularly watchful for words which may indicate that the marriage never took place. A marginal note may annul, cancel, invalidate, or postpone the marriage.
Keywords which invalidate a marriage:

annullare annullato cancellato non B valido revocato
to annul annuled cancelled is not valid revoked
MARXIAGE DATES
Establishing the correct date. Although the opening phrase includes the date of marriage in most civil records, this is not always the case with parish records. Whenever the dates of both the civil ceremony and the ecclesiastical ceremony are listed, extract the civil marriage date.
Postponed or impeded marriages. Recording marriage information became more complicated when a couple came to be married but had the marrige postponed due to sickness, military commitment, change of heart, or even because the bride and groom were first cousins. In such cases the actual marriage date may be found in the handwritten documentation added to the register at the end of the year. Some civil registers at the end of the year included a special section called Matrimont' Diversi to explain unusual marriage situations. Suck impeded marriage explanations continue over several pages. In such instances you may have to work b o u g h the entire entry to arrive at the actual marriage or the phrase that specifically prohibits the marriage. Marriage announcement. Italian law r e q h e d a publication of intentions prior to a civil marriage ceremony. The date of this announcement was usually recorded on the second page of the record. In the second line of the example on page 57 you will find the term publicazioni. 7 3 s key word informs you that the following dates are for the "publications" and not for the actual marriage. The next few lines stipulate that the i l l be the 12th of April, a Sunday at noon of the current year, and publication dates w the 1913, also a Sunday. These publications informed the populace of the impending marriage and allowed individuals time to notify authorities when there were reasons to nullify or prohibit the marriage.

Section A ITALIAN HANDWRITING

Because Italian and English printing are based on the Roman alphabet the handwriting in both languages tend to be very much alike. Some letters (most noticeably D, G, P, R, and S) are formed quite differently in the two languages, however. Although there is a general notion of how a "correct" letter should look, you will be confronted in your extracting by a wide range of handwriting styles for each letter of the alphabet. The following examples show some of the more common variations of the same letters you will discover in the records you will be extracting.
Whenever you are faced with difficult handwriting styles, it is a good idea to copy new examples of letters beside the examples above.
You may wish to add blank pages to your notebook so that you can copy entire words for further reference. These will be helpful for later comparisons when you find similar words that you can't read. The following is an example of this technique. Compare the A and a in Angela with the letters in the second name.
Perhaps you can make out the letters ngle in the second name, but can't make out the rest of the word. By comparing the two you will discover that the second name is Archangelo. The letters J, K, W, X, and Y appear in the Italian alphabet, but are used mainly in foreign words adopted into the Italian vocabulary. Examples: jazz, kilogramme, waterpolo, xilofono, yacht. The letter j, as used in older texts, had an "in sound and was often used in place of a double i. ELEMENTS OF HANDWRITING STYLE
Minims. The up and down strokes of letters cre called "minims." The letters e, i, m, n, u, v, and w are composed mostly of minims. When a word has two or more of these letters in a row, the letters can be hard to identify, as is the case in this word:
You can decipher many words from the context or format of the record, but you may have to count the strokes in personal names and compare the letters with other words written by the same person. You might also have to compare the name with other names within the same or other records before you can determine the correct spelling.
+-
Linking strokes. The small U-shaped strokes which connect minims in letters and connect the letters within the word are called "linking strokes." Many Italian scribes, however did not link their letters as we do today with the bottom U-shaped . This stroke at the foot of the letters. Instead they used an overhead stroke: stroke is frequently encountered in the older records. A scribe may have linked Ls at the top or crossed Ds or Ts and continued into the next letter from the crossbar as shown in the examples below.
Capitalization. Standardized capitalization was not applied until the 1900s. Even today many differences remain. For example, the names of the month are not usually capitalized as they are in English. In the older records, capitalization could be used anywhere in a sentence or word, as in the name Migelangelo, below.
u
Don't depend on capitalization as a clue in establishing the first word in a sentence or a proper name.
Ending letters. Vowels at the end of words can be very helpful to the extractor. An i , for example, is used to indicate that a noun is plural. A noun ending with a is feminine; one ending with o is masculine. (You will find more information about determing the gender of individuals in the reference section, "Name identification and Gender" beginning on page xx.) Alternating vowel and consonant sounds. The musical quality of Italian is caused
by a regular vowel-consonant interchange. You will sometimes be able to predict what a letter will be because vowel sounds and consonant sounds are normally alternated--as in the name Domeizico. Even when there are double consonants as in R o s a , blends as in A a e l o , and diphthongs as in rtlnrig, you will still find it helpful to observe the regular way consonant and vowel sounds are alternated in Italian.
Diacritical marks. In Italiah the only diacritical mark used is the "grave accent" (') which is placed over vowels to indicate stress in the pronunciation, as with the word Cnritc'l (charity). Diacritical marks from the very early records will clearly reflect a Latin influence. (To review Latin diacritical marks, please refer to the Latin Extraction Manual.)

ABBREVIATIONS In the 1800s, parish and civil reBsters were written with quill pens which were very difficult to use, even on the preprinted pages of civil registers. Also, because, paper was expensive, scribes charged for each sheet used in completing a document. Abbreviations, therefore, were quite common. Although it-was not until the 1900s that abbreviations were standardized, you will soon learn to anticipate the words that are abbreviated as you become familiar with the forms.
Raised letters. One common form of abbreviation was to indicate that letters w i t h a word or name were omitted by placing one or more raised letters at the end of a word, sometimes with a period beneath or slightly to the right of the raised letters.
Giui
= Giuseppi
Cut0
= Curato
You need to be aware, however, that you will occasionally come across raised letters when no abbreviation is intended.
Contractions. The most common method of abbreviating words was to omit letters from a word that was frequently used or easily reco,~zed.
qta .
= questa
Period. The period is used in Italian as it is in English to designate a contraction.

Sig.
= Signor
N.
= Numero
Flourish. A contraction may also be indicated by a flourish or an unusual short upward stroke at the end of the abbreviation or in the area of omitted letters.
= Giovanni
Mark above letter. A short stoke was sometimes placed above an m or ii to indicate that a second m or n had been omitted.
One of the oldest and most frequently used marks indicating contractions was a crescent with a dot above the word: rn .
Elisions. An Elision is the use of an apostrophe (') between two words when the first ends and the second begins with a vowel. The most frequent omissions are the litter i from di and the letter a from. la before words beginning with a vowel. Examples:
di Amore becomes d'Amore di A lbergo becomes d'Albergo dalla Oca becomes clnll'Qca le Alpi becomes Z'Alpi la Agricola becomes I'Agricola
Some scribes failed to include the apostrophe and wrote the contractions as a single word.
klonths of the year. The last four months of the year are fequently abbreviated using the numbers 7 (sette), 8 (otto), 9 (izove), and 10 (dieci). This was a carry over from the Julian calendar. Because the sound of the numbers corresponded with the names of the months, scribes often abbreviated the months by using the numbers:
7bre Sbre 9bre IObre
= Setteinbre = Qttobre = Noveinbre = Deceinbre
The character 4 . A symbol representing the Cross ( abbreviation for Christ.
) was often used as an
4 for0
= Christoforo
/Y tina
= Christina
Double letters. Double letters were sometimes employed for godparents or grandparents.
PP = padriizos godparents AP = avi paterni paternal grandparents AM = avi innternimaternal grandparents
In the earlier records you may encounter unusual letters and symbols in the text. Many of the officiating agents and scribes had originally been trained in Latin and used a form of symbols called brevigraphs in their writing. This was a unique shorthand system which allowed scribes to speed up the writing process. For example, a horizontal bar through an otherwise uncrossed letter meant that it was an abbreviation: 23.
There were other symbols that, when combined with the first letter of a word, became its abbreviation. The following are Latin words which frequently appear in Italian records.

Symbols were also used to describe the conditions and events of an individual's life:
Birth

+ + /h Death
0 1 0Divorced
woman
The brevigraphs shown above are the symbols you will encounter most frequently in Italian records. Additional symbols which were occasionally used are presented in the Latin Extraction Manual.
PRONUNCIATION ISSUES
Variations in spelling. Because some letters have similar sounds they were
frequently interchanged:
GLI c--> LL
TH <--> T
&lio
PH <--> F
Z J
<--> S <--> G
<--> fillio Catherina <--> Caterina Phelipe <--> Felipe Roza <--> Rosa <-->
Gesu
Jesu
If you cannot recopize a word, try sounding it out or exchanging similar-sounding letters to identify the word.
Double consonants. Sometimes one of the double letters in a word was omitted.
Since words with double consonants have a slightly different meaning from words with single consonants, the meaning can only be established through contextual clues when one of these letters are omitted.
Section B NUMBERS AND DATES

ITALIAN NUMBERING
Italian numbers are usually recorded with the same Arabic numerals you are accustomed to in English, but the names they call those numbers are different. In addition, there are occasions when records will include Roman numerals. The purpose of this reference section is to provide you with the basics of Italian number and time statements.
CARDINAL NUMBERS
Cardinal numbers are used for simple counting and statements of "how many."
uno due tre quattro cinque sei sette otto nove dieci
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten
undici dsdici tredici quattordici quindici sedici diciasette diciotto diciannove venti
eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty
The rule for combining venti (twenty), trenta (thirty), quaranta (forty), and so on with UPZO, due, he, etc.: Drop the last letter of the first word before adding unto and otto. Add due, trey quattro, cinque, sei, sette, and nove without changing the first word. Examples:
ventuno ventidue ventitre ventiquattro venticinque ventisei ventisette ventotto ventinove
twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty
one two three four five six seven eight nine
Comting by tens:
dieci venti trenta quaranta cinquanta sessanta settanta ottanta novanta
few
ten twenty thirty
fifty sixty seventy eighty ninty
Counting by hundreds:
cento centi duecenti trecenti quattrocenti cinquecenti seicenti settecenti ottocenti novecenti mille, mil
hundred hundreds two hundred three hundred four hundred five hundred six hundred seven hundred eight hundred nine hundred one thousand
ORDINAL NUMBERS
Ordinal numbers are used to indicate a position in a sequence (first, second, etc.). Ordinal numbers are frequently preceded by the .article il as h il quarto. (An article is a word like a or the.) When the first letter of a number begins with a vowel, as do uno, ottavo, and otto, the il will be changed to 1': l'unto, l'ottavo, l'otto. when referring to dates: Italian ordinal numbers are usually the same as the cardinal numbers when they refer to the day of the month, but you will more often see il primo than l'uno as in il primo gennaio (first day of January). Regular use In dates
primo secondo terzo quarto quinto sesto settimo ottavo nono decimo
uno due tre quattro cinque sei sette otto nove dieci
first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth nineth tenth

uncici dodici tredici quattordici quincici sedici diciassette diciotto diciannove venti
eleventh twelfth thirteenth fourteenth fifteenth sixteenth seventeenth eighteenth nineteenth twentieth
In numbers above 19, add esimo to the cardinal number:

'
CLOCK TIME
Clock time often appears next to the date. Sometimes you will see Italian numbers followed by anti. for "a.m." or pom. for "p.m."; however, because Italy began using the 24-hour clock in 1803, you will more often see clock times written as ore cique or ore 5 for 5:00 a.m. and ore le diciassette or ore 17 for 5:00 p.m.
It is important to be able to recognize clock times so that you don't extract them as dates. thirteen o'clock fourteen o'clock la una one o'clock le tredici fifteen oLclock le due two o'clock le quattordici sixteen o'clock le tre three o'clock l e quindici seventeen o'clock le quattro four o'clock le sedici eighteen o'clock l e cinque five o'clock b diciassette nineteen o'clock le sei six o'clock le diciotto twenty o'clock le sette seven o'clock le diciannove twenty-one o'clock le otto eight o'clock le venti twenty-two o'clock le nove nine o'clock le ventuno twenty-three o'clock le dieci ten o'clock l e ventidue twenty-four o'clock le undici eleven o'clock le docici twelve o'clock NAMES OF MONTHS

VARIATIONS IN DATES
In some records you may find part or all of the date missing. Scribes would occasionally substitute a written statement instead of writing a date. For example, a statement net stesso giorno e mese (on the same day and month) lets you know that this entry was made the same day and month as the previous entry.
Common Variations to Entry Dates

FEAST DATES The Catholic Church established certain days to celebrate Christian events. Some of the dates are "fixed," occuring on the same date each year; others are "movable," chan,.ing each year. In addition, each day of the year is assigned one or more saints; a record may therefore refer to a saint's day and a year but not include the month. FIXED FEAST DATES

Section C, Part I SURNAME IDENTIFICATION AND GENDER

GIVEN NAMES
The sex of an individual in a birth, christening, or marriage entry can usually be determined by the first given name. The surname, however, will be of no help in determining gender. GENDER ASSIGNED TO NOUNS
Common nouns. All nouns in Italian are classified as feminine or masculine, even though the English equivalents may seem no more masculine than feminine. For example, the Italian word libro (book) is masculine and the word casa (house) is feminine. The Rule: Most nouns ending with o are masculine. Most nouns ending in a are feminine.
Proper names. The rule applies with given names as well. The names Adriano, Agostino, Bartolomeo, Eugenio, and Eugenio are clearly masculine because they end with o. If parents wanted to give these names to a daughter they would change the ending letter to a: Adriana, Agostina, Bartolomea, Eugenia. Similarly, a name does not end with either a or o can be used for a child of the opposite sex by - . substituting the letter a or o at the end of the word: Giovanni-4iovanna.
VARIATIONS IN ASSIGNED GENDER
Greek names. Occasionally you will find a word that doesn't fit the a-o rule. Thee Greek masculine names Nicola, Andrea, for example, end with the letter a. For this reason, you should look for other words to help you determine gender so that you will not be misled when you come across names that do not correspond with the regular pattern.
Nouns ending in "E." A noun which ends with e may be either masculine or feminine. The name Natale is feminine but the name EmanueZe is masculine. Because there are no clues in the name itself, each time you determine the sex of an individual whose name ends with e, you want to add the name to a list of "exceptions to the rule" and begin to commit it to memory.
Name origin. One method of determining the gender of a name is to ascertain its origin. DanieZe, (Daniel) was an old testament prophet. This name is therefore masculine. Iside is derived fiom Isis, the Egyptian goddess. It is feminine. Other examples include Matilde (feminine) and Cesare (masculine). Nouns ending in "I" or "T." Names which end with i or t are usually masculine. Examples: Giovanni, Luigi, Tancredi, Giosafat, Iafet. Female names with accented vowel endings. A few feminine nouns in Italian end with an accented vowel. Examples: Virtu (virtue), Castith (chastity), and Verita. Male names ending in "10." Another small group of masculine Italian names end with the letters io. Examples: Mario, Aurelio, Ambrosio, Apollonio, Gervasw.
RELIGIOUS NAMES
Names referring to Mary. Adoration of the Virgin Mary influenced many to name their children after her or after one of her qualities. Feminine name such as Concetta, Assunta, Annunziata, Addolorata, Immacolata, Incarnata, and Purificata are diminutives of the following popular names for female infants:
Concezione Assunzione Annunziazione Addoloaazione Imrnacolazione bncarnazione PurZficazione
conception ascension annunciation pain immaculate incarnation purification
Maria (Mary) is frequently used as a second given name for males. Examples: Mateo Maria Boiardo, Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Francesco Maria della Rovere, Giovan Maria Cecchi.
Biblical names. In addition to Maria, there are many popular Italian names taken from the Bible, especially from the new Testament. Examples:
E lizabetta Gesu Giovanni Giuseppi Mateo Paulo Pie fro
Elizabeth Jesus John Joseph Matthew Paul Peter
Names of saints. The Catholic Church has honored many individuals from the Bible and from among outstanding church members by cannonization (a procedure by which a person is declared to be a "saint.") Many parents named their children after saints. Often the saint's name chosen for a child coincides with the name of the patron saint of a town, city, parish, or section of a city. In Genoa, for example, the name Battista is popular. Bernardo is a popular name in Teramo. Other popular given names honoring saints:
Females Males
Agata Cecilia Teresa
Cristoforo Francesco Girolamo
OTHER POPULAR NAMES
Names of famous Italians. Italian history is also full of notable characters whose names have been given to male children through the years. Examples: Antonio, Adriano, Agostino, Vittorio, Emanuele, Amadeo, Umberto, Elena, Margherita, Yolanda, Mafalda, Garibaldi, Dante, Michelangel. Popular Roman names. Many old Roman names have been given to Italian boys: Faustus, Severus, Calvus, Paulus, Taurinus, Probus, Victor. But the -us ending is changed to -0 in modem Italian. Roman numerals are also used as given names: Primo, Secondo, Quinto, Sesto, Settimo, Otfavio, Decio. Latin names. I n the provinces of Lazio and Umbria, many old Latin names are popular. Examples: Ascanio, Catullo, Cesare, Livio, Tarquinio, Virgilio. Geographic variations. Because of the cultural differences between Northern and Southern Italy, many names have a different form. Examples:
South North
P~PP~ Nicola Angelo Gabdele Raffaele
Beppo Niccolo Agnolo Gabriello Raffaello

OTHER WORDS DENOTING GENDER
ARTICLES When the name is not clearly masculine or feminine, articles (words like a or the) can clarify the gender of the noun they describe. The .masculine equivalent of the is il; the feminine equivalent is la. When you see the terms Ea c i ~ a (city) and il pabce (country), the articles la and il, make it clear that the first is feminine and the second is masculine. The masculine equivalent of a, an, or one is un or uno; the feminine equivalent is un' or una.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS The Italian words in the above chart are much like their English equivalents. They can be used like articles to describe nouns ("These babies were christened") or the words can stand alone as pronouns ("These were not christened"). When used as demonstrative pronouns these words continue to help you establish the gender of an individual.

ADJECTIVES
In some cases, because of unclear handwriting, unusual names, or missing information, you may not be able to determine the gender of an individual. If an adjective (a word like beautiful) was used in the record, it will usually follow the noun which it describes. You might, for example, come across the adjective illigitimo in an expression like this: il bambino illigitimo (the illigitimate baby boy). If you could read the article il or the noun bambino clearly, you would already know that the individual was male. But if you could not read those words clearly, the letter o at the end of the adjective illigitimo would confirm the child's sex. In the case of twins you might find an entry like this: L'una si chiama Felice e l'altro si chaima Andrea (the first is called Felice and the other is called Andrea). Because Felice does not end in a or o, you have to rely on the final a in l'una to determine that the child is a female. In the name of the second twin Andrea, the final a might lead you to suppose that the name is feminine, but the masculine term l'altro makes it clear that Andrea is a boy.
VERBS
In Italian, even the verbs (words like go) can establish gender. For example, the common phrase B cornparso (was presented) is obviously refening to the presentation of a male because the verb ends with the letter o. Common phrases containing verbs that show gender:
lo stesso e nato la stessa e nata
.n,c,to ~ e l ccso b
masculine feminine masculine feminine masculine feminine
the same was born b ~ m in the house of was presented
nata nella casa di
B comparso B comparsa
TRANSCRIPTION PROBLEMS Occasionally a scribe carelessly wrote something like figlio kgitirna, figlio being masculine and legitima being feminine. If you can't determine the child's sex by the first given name, this phrase won't help you. You will have to rely upon the clues suggested above.
TERMS DENOTING RELATIONSHIP AND GENDER

Sometimes there will be other terms that will help you determine the sex of the children, married couples, or relatives mentioned in a record. The following list contains words you will frequently see in civil and parish registers. It is provided to help you establish the identity and sex of participants in a ceremony and to help you determine which names to exclude from your extraction.

GENERIC MASCULINE DEFAULT In Romance languages such as Italian, the masculine gender is "dominant." When a group is composed of a l l males, the words referring to group will be masculine. Words referring to a group of females will reflect feminine gender. But words referring to a mixed group of males and females will be masculine. An example of this is the term i sposi, a masculine plural meaning "the married couples."
Section C, Part I1 ITALIAN SURNAMES

INTRODUCTION
Three naming customs derived from early Greek settlers, the Roman republics, and the invading Germanic tribes.
Greek: Roman: Germanic tribes:
Adding theiname of the father plus the name of the family or tribe to the given name. Adding the name of the family clan to the given name. Attaching an ancestor's name with a similar beginning sound to the given name: Pompeo Pomponio, Alberto d9Alberto, and Garibald FaroaM or Garibald Romuald.
PATRONYMICS
One of the oldest and most wide-spread expressions of paternity used in Italy is characterized by the preposition di (of), entered between two given names; for example, Pietro di Giovanni (Peter the son of John). With each new generation, the combination of names increased; hence Pietro's .son Leonardo would be known as Leonardo di Fietro di Giovanni. Eventually a hereditary name was standardized, but the Italian records from which you will be extracting data continues a variation of this practice that can be confusing.
A large segment of Italian names today contain the preposition di between the given name and surname: di Paolu, d7Albe&o. Sometimes the records also contain individuals' names the names of the father and even the grandfather inserted between the given name and surname: Francesco di Giovanni d9Angelo is actually Francesco (the son of Giovanni) d'Angelo. There is a general rule for extracting Italian names that holds true in most instances: Omit given names beDgiming with di. To be certain, it is a wise practice to compare the apparent inserted name with the name of the father and grandfather if they are gven elsewhere in the record. (Check the general extraction instructions for further information on this rule.)
Italian Surnames
You will encounter a relatively small proportion of matronymic surnames (names which are derived from the name of the mother or a matriarchal ancestor). Children occasionally took the surname of a mother who was not married to the father, a mother with whom they identified more comfortably because of long absences of the father in military service or employment, or a mother who was widowed. Sometimes they took the surname of the mother to avoid confusion with someone in the community who had an identical name. Surnames that reflect a mother' s situation: La Cattiva (bad); Della Vedova (widow). In rare instances, when a woman's personality was dominant over her husband's or when she belonged to a higher social class, the husband and children assumed her surname.
FOUNDLING SURNAMES
Before 1928 foundlings (abandoned children) were often given surnames by the record keepers or, in some cases, wealthy families or the godparents who assumed responsibility for n these instances a phrase such as esposito (a) nella casa di (abandoned at the the child. J home of) might appear in the record. A child abandoned at the parish church was described . .church). as figlio (a) della chiesa (child of the The following list contains surnames which were frequently given foundlings; however, these names do not always indicate that the child was a foundling.

Nocentini Proietti Ritrovato Sposito SpLlrio Stellato Trovatello Trovato Ventura Venturini
In your extracting you will often encounter names of foundling children wglio (a) exposito (a)] or whole lists of innocents (innocenti) with no parents. These names should be extracted.
Italian Surnames
SURNAMES OF FAMILIARITY
Another group of surnames end with "diminutive" or "augmentative" endings. Today these endings are added to given names to express endearment, but originally they were used to to indicate size, age, physical and moral qualities, affection, or pity. They now comprise one of the largest groups of Italian surnames.
Diminuative Endings
Adamollo Adamolo Andreozzo Antonicello Beltramello Carluccio Cesarotto Iann itto Leoncillo Leonillo Lorenzetto Luigino Marcarello Marcarino Marchrerllo Martoccio Mattiusso Mattimo Simoncino Vitullo Vitulo Lupicino

Italian Surnames
The following list contains many common Italian surnames. The list can be enlarged by adding the prefixes di, de, de', del, della, La, Lo, and Li to many of the names or by adding a diminutive or augmentative described on page 35. Surnames which are also commonly used as given names are followed by an asterisk (:k): Carlo *. When names have an altemative ending, they are followed by a hyphen: G t ~ i i o -i. Lf surnames are have alternative endings and are used as given names, the endings are added and an asterisk follows: Igrzasio -i*.
