Carlentini Death Indexes: 1820-1871

 Are you searching for the death record of an ancestor that died in Carlentini?  Then you will love this collection of images that contain the indexes to the death records of Carlentini from 1820-1871.  You will currently need to visit a Family History Center operated by FamilySearch.org or a FamilySearch affiliate library to see the death record itself. These indexes will give you the date of death and the Atto number to help you find it and confirm that it is your ancestor.

Once you find the death record, you can use this document to help you translate it from Italian to English:

Carlentini Morti Index 1820 DGS# 7843328 Images 366-369

This first group of four images from 1820 is in chronological order. These are great because they include the names of the mother and the father. At first the months are spelled out but when the transcriber got to October they abbreviated it as 8tre. November is 9tre and December is Xtre.

The column headings are translated as follows:

Num. d' Ordine= Number in Order

Patria= Birthplace

Professione= Occupation

Cognomi, e Nomi dei Genitori= Surname and Given Names of Parents

Giorno della morte= Day of Death

Osservazioni= Observations or notes

If you are using a computer, you can click on the images to enlarge them. Then you can open an image in a new window and Zoom in even closer.  You may prefer to download them to your computer for easier access.  I hope you do as that will help to preserve the images if anything happens to this blog post.




These three images from 1821 are in chronological order and also include the mother and father's names. It would be really great if we could get some volunteers to transcribe these chronological indexes into alphabetical order.



Here is the beginning of 1822.



These three images are 1823.



In 1824 there are also three images.



1825



1826 There is only one image here.

1827 Two images


Here we have a large gap where we need to insert the images from 1828-1839.

1840 begins here and something terrible must have happened because we have 11 images labeled as 1840.

The first image was labeled: Carlentini Morti Index 1840 Film 1438747 Image 1785. This group of six images runs through image number 1790.






The preceding image appears go through September 1840.

The second group of 1840 images begins here beginning with this one labeled: Carlentini Morti Index 1840 Film 1438747 Image 1809 and the second image number 1810. The first death is dated 8 November 1840.


The last death on the preceding page is dated 9 December 1840. 

Here begins Carlentini Morti Index 1840 Film 1438747 Image 1833.  The first death is 9 Dec 1840 and there are two images in this sequence.


The last index for 1840 is labeled as follows: Carlentini Morti Index 1840 Film 1438747 Image 1844.  The year 1840 appears to have been a horrible epidemic. My guess would have been cholera which was prevalent throughout Europe in the 1840s.

1841 begins here and there are only four images.  The first one is labeled: Carlentini Morti Index 1841 Film 1438747 Image 1915. You would use this film number to view the full death records that are indexed here.
