Marriages

Who married whom, where the archive knows it — and, on every row, whether it knows because a clerk wrote it down, because the line argues it, or because the family tree says so.

A marriage is the hardest thing in this archive to prove and the most valuable to have. A marriage act names all four parents at once — which is why the marriage of Pasquale Falco and Chiara Rivetti, Arienzo, some time in the 1780s, is the oldest document this archive is still looking for.

Every row says where it comes from. line is this archive's own argued identification, register a clerk's own words, and tree the family tree, unverified.

Eleven times, the Falco married a Crisci. Six Crisci women marrying Falco men, five Falco women marrying Crisci men, across roughly two hundred years — and generations one and three both did it. The Crisci page counts them →

Two Zampiello sisters married two Falco brothers, and both households went to Brisbane. This is what endogamy looks like from the paper side — and the DNA measures the same thing from the other end: two people born eight kilometres apart who are, at the test's resolution, the same person.

The spine — nine generations, nine marriages

What is missing

The marriage of Pasquale Falco and Chiara Rivetti, Arienzo, 1780s. It would name all four parents at once. The oldest document this archive still wants.
Orazio Morgillo and Vincenza Pesce, about 1817 — now that Orazio has been found alive in 1837 on strada Nuova di San Gaetano, this is the next act to look for.
Giuseppa Ferrara and Angelo Zampiello, Arpaia, about 1920. It names both fathers and would fix the Ferrara/Ferraro spelling in the hand of a clerk who had to ask her.
The processetti — the marriage dossiers. 258 volumes across four towns, and not one has been read. They are the largest untouched body of evidence this archive knows about, and they exist precisely to prove who could marry whom.
