:*[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b4839017&view=1up&seq=1 Italians of Omaha] explains the chain migration from Carlentini and Lentini to Omaha, Nebraska. The Salerno brothers, Joseph and Sebastiano, who came from Carlentini were the driving force in the process of chain migration. Sicilians from Carlentini and Lentini became the predominating group in the Omaha Little Italy that developed in the 1900's. In 1904, Sebastiano Salerno, received an appointment as a steamship company agent and went back to Carlentini to increase the passenger transportation business between Sicily and American ports. | |||
:*[https://historyharvest.unl.edu/exhibits The History Harvest] - Omaha's Little Italy, compiled by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In the Fall of 2018, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s “History Harvest” project focused on the Italian American communities in Nebraska. The main event was held on October 28, 2018, at the Santa Lucia Hall, in the heart of Omaha's historic Little Italy. Partner organizations included the Santa Lucia Festival Committee, the Sons and Daughters of Italy, and the American-Italian Heritage Society. Seven undergraduate and two graduate students under the guidance of Prof. Gerald Steinacher were looking for diaries, photographs, letters, maps, images, war memorabilia, and other family and cultural heirlooms. “Harvested” family artifacts were photographed, digitized and returned to the owners. This exhibition features a selection of items that document the experience of growing up in the immigrant community of Little Italy. | |||
===Locating Town of Origin in Italy=== | |||
In order to research your family in Italy, it is essential that you have identified the place where they came from. You must know the city, town, or parish that they came from. it will be difficult to identify the place of origin by going directly to Italy sources. Therefore, you will need to search in United States (or other country of arrival) sources first. See [[Italy Gathering Information to Locate Place of Origin|'''Italy Gathering Information to Locate Place of Origin''']] to learn how to search for the Italian place of origin in United States records. | |||
===Names in Latin, Italian, Sicilian and English=== | |||
This is a [http://www.conigliofamily.com/LatinSicilianEnglishGivenNames.htm handy guide] to understanding how names are translated in four languages. Italian names are usually found in civil records but church records are usually in Latin. | |||
===Civil Registration (''registri dello stato civile'')=== | |||
*'''Civil registration''' records (registri dello stato civile) are government records of births, marriages, and deaths. | |||
*'''Dates:''' In southern Italy, registering births, marriages, and deaths began in 1809 (1820 in Sicily). In central and northern Italy, civil registration began in 1866 (1871 in Veneto). After this date, virtually all individuals who lived in Italy were recorded. | |||
*'''Contents:''' For detailed descriptions of the information you might find in each record, see [[Italy Civil Registration#Information%20recorded%20in%20civil%20registers|'''Information recorded in civil registers''']]. | |||
*'''Language:''' The records were almost always kept in Italian, except for records kept during the rule of foreign powers such as France and Austria. In the northern regions, many records are in French and German. Some church records were transcribed into civil registration records in Latin. | |||
*'''Accessing the records:''' Civil registration records were and are kept at the local registrar’s office (anagrafe) in each town or city. A copy of each record is sent to the tribunale (district court). | |||
*'''Determining the locality:''' You must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. Your ancestor may have lived in a village that belonged to a nearby larger town. Large cities may have many civil registration districts. You may need to use maps, gazetteers, and other geographic references to identify the place where your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served that place. See [[Italy Maps|'''Italy Maps''']] and [[Italy Gazetteers|'''Italy Gazetteers''']] for information on how to find civil registration offices. | |||
*'''State of the Family (Stato di famiglia):''' A civil record unique to Italy is the stato di famiglia, or state of the family certificate. The comune keeps a record of each family and updates each change, including births, marriages, deaths, and emigration. All individuals in a household are included. Some households include more than one family. Historical states of the family (''stato di famiglia storico'') are kept at the provincial archive (ufficio dello stato civile). These records document past generations of families. Not all areas have kept this record, but where they exist, they are a valuable research tool. | |||
