I have two issues. One, I am searching for DOB, the date of marriage or date of death for my Great Grandfather Dominic Leone and also his wife Mary Nicolazzo.

Since their son, my grandfather, Antonio Leone who was born 1 Dec 1877 in Nicastro, Sant’Eufermia, Lamezia, Cantanzaro, Calabria, Italy, I assume both my great grandparents were from in or around the same area. I was informed that many records from Nicastro were sent to Lamezia Terme many years ago.

Secondly, and here’s where things get complicated. My grandmother, Rosa Stephana Torchia-Montana was born 9 Dec 1876 and again I assume in Nicastro, Cantanzaro, Calabria, Italy. She married my grandfather, Antonio Leone on 26 Jun 1897. There’s some confusion concerning her name and/or if she was adopted.  She arrived in New York, New York, USA 1 Mar 1903. 

The reason I seek all this information is that there are 9 -14 of us going to Italy in hopes of finding any living relatives.

I'd like to add that we have no idea who my grandmothers parents are

Hello Jo,

unfortunately Nicastro isn't listed under Catanzaro in the digitalized and web accessible SAN archives. Nevertheless, all "Stato Civile" registers (1809-2003) from Nicastro seems to be conserved by Comune di Lamezia Terme - Delegazione di Nicastro. You may try to fill up the form at the attached web page with your grandparents data and email it to the Stato Civile Officer:

Delegazione di Nicastro - Piazza A. D'Ippolito

Sig.ra Annamaria Spinelli

email: a.spinelli@comune.lamezia-terme.cz.it

Sometimes they mail you back a pdf copy of the requested act.

Otherwise a trip to, or a contact in, Nicastro would be the only way...

Best regards

Thank you. I believe this will help us when we go to Italy.​
