I have finally gotten around to digging deeper into my Italian lineage. A little late at 75, but a recent heart attack added some urgency.

What I have known from the age of 12 or so is that my maternal Grandparents came to the U.S. from the little town of Casacanditella in the district of Chieti, province of Abruzzo. Having done some searching..I have acquired more information, (verifiable with information already known), through Italian records discoverable on Ancestry.com.

Now I am considering an eventual trip to Casacanditella to try and research church and municipal records, likely towards the latter part of 2020. Given the fact that my grandfather was a D'Angelo and my grandmother a Stenta...and the fact that 70 to 75% of the population of Casacanditella (approximately 1400 total population) is made up of Stentas or D'Angelos should make it confusing.

I am curious if there is anyone in this group that is located in Abruzzo who might give some guidance concerning a short term relocation there. Although, would enjoy talking Italy in general as well.

There are two D'Angelo's on the town council!

Indeed the site I looked at here states the Mayor is a "DAngelo", then again in our local town there were also only one or two names for everyone.

I knew there was another site, this one, that give better information. It was informtion like email address and how high the town is (432 m.s.l.m.) that made me think there was a better site. This bit about the "stranieri" living there is also often of interest in cases like this, unfortunately (or otherwise) there are no Americans, but there are a couple of Brits. What information did you want about staying?

I cannot really give you precise information on Casacanditella but before flying into Italy make sure that the source of anchestry.com is not the same as Home - Antenati . This is an effort by the italian government to scan all records (in image format) of birth, death and marriage certificates up until 1806 ish. Specifically this is the register you want to take a look at Archivio di Stato di Chieti | Antenati. (here are the births fot Casacanditella from 1866 onward http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali...nditella/Nati/)
By knowing some dates of birth and otehr information you might some how manage to extrapolate some useful information. :-)

Thanks for the info. Some info that I have acquired was from FamilySearch (Mormons, believe it or not) that has been very accurate so far. It pulls from here Home - Antena for Italian info and has been spot on. I just I went to Archivio di Stato di Chieti | Antenati. and Home - Antena to pull the marriage record for my grandparents and they were identical photos of the specific page in the atti de matrimonio. I will check out Nati | Antenati later today. Many thanks for the links.

Thanks for the links. As for staying for a period in Italy, I know I can enter for up to 90 day without a visa. So no issue there as I suspect a month would be the max. I would be interested to know about bus travel between the towns..such as cost and schedule frequency. There seem to be a number of small towns not far from Casacanditella that a visit to would not go amiss. Also bank atm access, which would require leaving Casacanditella as there is no bank there. Also, availability of health services if needed.
Considering I went to Peru in 2009 for an intended 6 months or so....and stayed 6 years learning Spanish mostly by immersion..I am adaptable.

Hey D. I will make this quick because I don’t want to take your thread off topic. You crossed my mind a couple of days ago...I wondered what had happened to you...you were a BE regular. Sorry to hear about your health problems...hope you are fighting fit now.

Please don’t be a stranger. Take care of yourself.

Geordieborn

I think travelling by bus may be a little difficult, but have a look at this TUA site. Others I've not checked would be Google maps and/or Rome2Rio site. As for ATMs both Mastercard and VISA cards are accepted. I would guess both have information on the location of ATMs, last I sed one there was no charge, but that was on a UK debit card.

philat98

The website has some interesting infomation. It is curious that in Umbria even the smallest villages have quite a number of Romanians, Albanians and others from eastern Europe.. In my village the men have imported wives from South America.

Thanks JG. Appreciate the kind thoughts. Definitely doing better now.

Hit dead ends on the Italian heritage on my maternal side. Did manage to get to 10th generation on a few lines, but the others are 3 to 5 generations with nothing more found. On the paternal side, I may need an intervention to get me to stop. Including both maternal and paternal sides, I now have 2,188 relatives in my tree. The vast majority on the paternal side, like 95% I am sure. While my surname is German, my paternal ancestors include loads of English, Irish, Welsh and Scotch . Add a bunch of French, toss in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish etc. Then find some Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, plus East European areas. I have probably left some out of that list.

One of the lines, my paternal great grandmother, Alice Adell Stockwell, opened up a series of lines that took me back more than 60 generations, right to the Roman Empire. It took loads of effort to sort through all of the data, but worth it. Fascinating stuff. I did not add siblings of direct decedents, or their partners and children. Except for a few cases where historical value was found, no uncles, aunts or cousins. If I had added all of those I would likely have 15,000 plus in the tree, which would be meaningless.

Now I need to save a lot of money because when travel is easier I will want to visit more than just Italy.

Either this site is rubbish or I am useless, but I have searched my ex-OH's surname in her town of birth and I got absolutely no results, and it's a very common surname in the area.
