Where Should I Be Looking to Find Documents for Some of My Piandelagotti Ancestors?
Greetings!
Once again, I turn to you for assistance with where I should be looking to find birth/marriage/death records for my paternal ancestors. The paternal line appears to have resided in Piandelagotti (Piano de l'Agotti/Pian de Lagotti), Modena, Emilia-Reggiana for many generations (1700s to at least 1899/1900 for my most direct ancestors).
I am now looking for Carlo Carzoli, about 1839 to about 1928, whose father was Domenico Carzoli (circa 1799-1865 and married to Maria Domenica Gualtieri, 1811 - ?). I do not have Maria Domenica Gualtieri's marriage and death records. either. I am also hoping that in finding documentation for Carlo to more clearly establish his identity, I will also find something about his father/mother/grandparents.
For context: Carlo was married to Maria Flavia Stefani after her first husband, Ferdinando Domenico Carzoli, died in 1865. In trying to locate Carlo Carzoli, I came across a tree on Geneanet that MIGHT be naming the Carlo I'm looking for, but Carlo's father on Geneanet is named Giovanni Domenico Carzoli (around 1796-1861). I do not know if that is the same Domenico as the one I thought was Carlo's father, thus the need for documentation that I have yet to locate. Maria Flavia Stefani's birth, second marriage, and death records remain elusive for some reason, too.
I suspect that I might not be looking at the correct "comuni," given that they fluctuated somewhat throughout that part of Italian history. But…Piandelagotti appears to be a constant across generations for the Carzoli paternal line…. I THOUGHT I had done a pretty thorough sweep of possible comuni, but, obviously I have strayed somehow….
I would appreciate any pointers that you might have for me.
Many thanks in advance,
Daniela
