Hello,
My name is Carmela Ricco and I live in Toronto. My parents emigrated in 1966 from Ferrandina, Matera, Italy. I'm interested in searching for the Ricco family and how far back they can go in history. c.ricco@sympatico.ca thank you

Here are a couple of resources that might help you.

 

First I search the Research Wiki and found this:

https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Matera,_Basilicata,_Italy_Genealogy

 

Here are the records for Ferrandina that are on FamilySearch. Some of them can only be viewed at a local FamilySearch Center. However, many you can view online at home.

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/409680?availability=Family%20History%20Library

 

And lastly, the Archivio de Stato di Matera on the Antenati website. There are records from Ferrandina if you keep clicking through.

Wishing you the best.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for responding. I have already gone through the antenati and they only have death's from 1809 to 1815.

I want to go much earlier then that with your assistance. I have already checked the above mentioned.

Many thanks and be well.

 

Are you able to remove my email, with my name and email address? Please.

Hello there,

civil registers are normally not available anywhere in Italy for years before 1805, when Napoleonic invasion modernized administration. To go earlier than that, it is necessary to examine church registers, where and when they are available and if the specific church allows access. Rarely available online, it's necessary to go on site, or get someone there, sometimes convince the vicar to allow access, and have a lot of spare time, because they are in Latin, feather pen hand-written and in a semi-readable "cursive" Italic case.

Best regards

It says Ferrandina, but it's the Comune of Craco. I'm looking for 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600 and 1700. It's not available.

Grazie
