Nudgee Cemetery, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane

Searched through the Archdiocese's own portal at search.cemsearch.com.au — Nudgee is not a Brisbane City Council cemetery and is not in the council's grave search.

What it established: Five Falco burials with plot numbers, and the two corrections to the family record's death dates.

Arienzo: the comune and the Collegiata di Sant'Andrea

Town and diocesan histories, via Treccani, the Brisbane-independent Italian local-history sites and the Soprintendenza. Arienzo as Argentium on the ruins of Suessola; the Terra Murata of 1154; Sant'Andrea documented 1151 and collegiate from 1722.

What it established: The Places and Arienzo pages, and the town's Latin name Terra Argenti.

Standard biography plus diocesan history. Bishop 1762–1775; second residence at Arienzo beside Sant'Andrea, now the Museo Alfonsiano; Arienzo passed to the diocese of Acerra in 1855.

Arienzo, Stato civile della restaurazione — Morti

One volume per year, 53–65 images each. Read linearly and in full for eight consecutive years, 1829 (an_ua14331, 65 images) through 1836 (an_ua14338). Every volume has a printed “Tavola alfabetica annuale de’ Morti” bound in at the back, and in Arienzo every one of them was left blank — which is why these years cannot be searched and must be read. Duplicate image bindings are intermittent and were mapped as encountered.

an_ua14331 – an_ua14338

What it established: Yielded Pasquale Falco’s death act of 1 October 1834 — the record that closed the line’s oldest open question — and, four years earlier, his sister Rosa’s, which names the same parents from a second child. Also twelve other Falco deaths, strada Camellara as the family’s street, a second founding couple in Michele Falco and Vincenza Esposito, and the 1831 act naming Vincenzo Falco «parente».

Comune di Arpaia — civil extracts, issued 2003

Two international-form extracts held by the family: the birth act of Francesca Zampiello (n. 20, born 27 April 1928) and the marriage act of Carmine Falco and Francesca Zampiello (n. 1, 15 January 1955). Certified photocopies of the originals in the Arpaia registers.

Arpaia (BN), atti n. 20 and n. 1

What it established: Documented a birth this archive had only on family report, named both of Francesca's parents, and corrected the marriage from Benevento to Arpaia.

Ministero dell'Africa Italiana — Croce al Merito di Guerra, 1938

The War Merit Cross certificate conferred on «all'operaio Zampiello Angelo di Tommaso» by decree of 14 September 1938, under the royal decree of 2 July 1936 extending the award to personnel in East Africa from 3 October 1935. Order number 18745.

n. d'ordine 18745, Roma, 24 settembre 1938

What it established: Corroborated the family's account of Angelo Zampiello in East Africa, established that he was there as a workman rather than a soldier, and gave his father's name — Tommaso Zampiello.
