Over the last year, many hours have been spent transferring data from the Casalattico parish census records to my family tree database, and so this recent update contains approximately 2000 extra names dating back to the 1600s.  These records, known as the "Stati delle Anime" are kept in Casalattico and are the original records written by the Casalattico priest at the time.  Some of the early census records from the 1700s are written in Latin, whilst the ones from the 1800s are in Italian.  As the priest visited each household, he would record the names, ages and often the parenthood of each inhabitant, along with other details such as whether they had been to confession, had had first holy communion and had been confirmed.  It was also a way for the priest to collect taxes for the papacy.  If someone is listed in these census records, I have added a note to their record, so, for example, if they are in the 1756 records in the Mortale section, the note will say "in Mortale 1756".  If you see a note that says "in Mortale 1756, in Montattico 1767, in S. Andrea 1782", you can track their exact residence in the Casalattico comune over these years.  If there is no death date listed, this also allows you to deduce that they were alive during the year of their last census listing.

I have been working on this family tree since 2008 and there are 17741 members listed on the tree.  All are descendants of people from the Casalattico area, and the earliest Forte ancestor recorded is Berardino Forte, who was born in c.1610.  There are over 1750 members with the Forte surname, over 1150 Macari, 1000 Marsella,  940 Nardone, 910 Morelli, 720 Fusco, 640 Magliocco, 540 Cafolla, 540 Matassa, 500 Borza, 350 Fusciardi, 300 Vella, 300 Rosato, 300 Cirefice, 300 Taddei, 300 Lieghio, 220 Mezza, 170 Di Lucia and the other main surnames in the tree include Antonelli, Aprile, Bianchi, Caira, Ciaraldi, Crenca, Di Vito, Gentile, Nota, Roselli, Salveta and Zuorro.

How to receive a detailed pdf Family Tree


visitors to this site

If you have ancestors from the Casalattico area, please use the form below to submit family information and to view your 'section' of the family tree if available.  This can be sent to you via email in pdf format.  The only 'cost' to you is that you help to correct any mistakes and supply further information such as names of relatives, dates and places of birth/marriage/death and headshot photos if possible.  In this way, we should be able to produce a comprehensive list of anyone originating from this area.

An interactive Family Tree is available by clicking above.  It opens in a new window, but it only shows details of deceased members of the family dating back to the late 1600s along with summaries of birth, marriage and death details.  For security reasons, I have omitted all details of living people, who are simply shown as "Living Person".  See below to obtain a more detailed version of your section of the family tree.

If you copy data from my research, my only request is that you copy it accurately.  I have seen many examples on Ancestry of copying errors from this database and it frustrates me.
