Hi Carmen
My grandfather Natale Maiolo migrated to Australia (Sydney NSW) in 1927. I think he was born in Martone in 1896. My father was Giuseppe was born in Martone in 1924 and migrated to Aust. in 1949. My older brother born 1948, myself 1949 with my mother Maria Frasca born 1924 in Martone also migrated in 1951. Any more info would be much appreciated

Hi Carmen, do you have who Natale married ( early 1920s ) as I’m not sure of my grandmothers maiden surname. it could be Luisa Giava
Thanks

Hi George,
Unfortunately the records that are available on microfilm from the Mormon church only go up to 1910. The provinces in Italy are slowly digitizing the records and putting them online. These will go up to about 1950 when they are added. You can try writing to the comune if you think they were married in Martone, but I have never gotten much response from them.

Hello; first time on here. I’ll be going to Calabria, Italy this April for the first time. I would love to visit and meet anyone with my family surname (Murdocca) in the area. Where do I begin? My great-grandparents were Giuseppe and Rosa Murdocca from the Martone area. Thanks in advance.
Hi Cindy. I hope you have a great time visiting Calabria and that you get to meet some relatives in Martone and possibly the surrounding towns. The info that I have starts at 1910 and goes back to about 1810. So I can’t help you too much with current info. There is a group on Facebook called Sei di Martone that may help you find some living relatives. If you are looking for genealogy info then I would need some dates or a range and possibly some maiden names. Hope this helps a little.
Just found this page. So excited to see the Magnoli family name on here. Looking for information on Giuseppe born arrive 1850 and, more importantly, on Ferdinando on 15 Nov, 1884. Thanks!
