The Register

Read this before you read the list

This page is WHAT the archive found; the people is WHO it can name. They were once two lists of the same ten thousand rows, which helped nobody. Now this one has a row per RECORD, grouped by surname and each linked to its source or told why it cannot be — and the people page has a row per PERSON, each with a page of their own.

Most of these entries come from surname indexes — every Falco, Zampiello and Annecchino the Antenati name index holds for the Valle Caudina towns, and every hit from the FamilySearch harvests. A shared surname is not a relationship. The Falco of Paolisi and Moiano in particular are largely a different population: their in-laws barely overlap with the Crisci, Morgillo, Martone and Rivetti that this family married into.

Entries marked family tree come from the family's own MyHeritage tree — 290 deceased people on the Falco side, walked out from Giuseppina Falco. They are what the family believes, not what a record proves: treat each as a claim until it appears somewhere else on this page with a source beside it. The tree is private, so these entries carry no link. The living people on that side are now named too — name and relationship only, never a date — a rule that changed on 10 September 2026 and is set out under Method.

Entries marked read in the register are people this archive met while reading the Arienzo registers act by act — neighbours, declarants, the families who buried each other's children on strada Camellara. They are here because they were found, not because they are kin. Nineteen annual death registers are now logged act by act — 1816 to 1826, and 1829 to 1836 — and from 1820 on, when the Arienzo form grew fuller, every person in every act is here: the deceased, both parents, the spouse, and both declarants with age, trade and street. The birth registers of 1816–1818 contribute every father read. The one gap this page used to confess to is now closed: the first thirty-nine images of the 1816 death register had been read for Falco and no further, and the second pass has now rostered acts 1 to 71 of that volume act by act — which is where the Cioffi of strada Camellara turn up twelve years before the act that made this archive misread them. Everything is also in the reading logs.

The reconstructed entries are the ones this archive has actually joined into households from the words of a record. Those names link to a person page. Everything else links out to the source and is offered as a lead, not a conclusion.
