A New Direction: Ragusa and Messina provinces of Sicily

In preparation for a trip to Sicily with my husband Chuck, I'm resuming research on his Italian family. Both his maternal grandparents were born in Sicily.

• His grandmother Angela Russo Femminella (simplified later to "Russo") was born in Militello Rosmarino, in the western third of Messina Province. The nearest larger town is Sant'Agata, on the northern coast, about 8 km (5 mi) north of Militello Rosmarino.

• His grandfather John Iacono (Americanized to the spelling of "Iacano" sometime after his 1914 marriage) was born in or near Ragusa, the administrative seat of Ragusa Province. 

Militello Rosmarino

Italy, Sicily, Messina Province (modern map)

Militello Rosmarino is an Italian community in Sicily. Locally it is called Militeddu in Sicilian, and its antique name was Militello Valdemone. The town has 1334 inhabitants and is in the province of Messina. The town had its greatest number of inhabitants, 2600, in the mid-1930s. Nearby is the Parco dei Nebrodi (click on this link for more information from the Italian Wikipedia) and the larger coastal town Sant'Agata (di Militello), (also in Italian), of about 12,000 inhabitants. For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

Ragusa

Italy, Sicily, Ragusa Province (modern map)

Ragusa is an Italian community in Sicily. The accent in Italian is on the first syllable. Locally it is called Raùsa in Sicilian. The origin of the town name comes from the Byzantine era and Greek-derived language, Ρογος, Ragous, Rogos (meaning "barn") due to the agricultural wealth of the area. During Arab rule, the name became Ragus or Rakkusa  (meaning "place famous for an amazing event"). Later, under the rule of Norman and Aragon invaders, the name was Latinized to Ragusia and later simplified in the 18th Century to Ragusa.

The city has 72,967 inhabitants, and it is the seat of the province of Ragusa. From 1861 through 1921, the population grew from 29,000 to 56,000. However, for three decades afterward, the population remained around 51,000 and then resumed its growth in the 1950s to it present size. The town is nicknamed "the city of bridges," "the island in an island," and "the high Sicily." For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Russo Femminella Families

That the original family name is two-part makes research much easier for Russo Femminella. (The name Russo is as prevalent in Italy as the Johnson family is in the United States.) This image from Gens.info locates the presence of Russo Femminellas in 2020 Italy. A small number is in the city of Rome, as well as the provincial capital Messina. The largest concentrations are in Sant'Agata de Militello and Militello Rosmarino. So few inhabitants with the name are in the rest of Italy that they do not register on this site.

Both handed down family information and records research in the civil registries establish our family origin to be Militello Rosmarino.The family name was changed in America from Russo Femminella to Russo sometime after John Iacano married Angelina Russo Femminella in 1914.

The Family of Biagio Russo Femminella and Marie Pisa, Mary Coppolino, and Frances Arcidiacono

A brother to Grandmother Angelina Iacano was Biagio, who married (sequentially) Marie Pisa, Mary Coppolino, and Frances Arcidiacono. Their children were Biagio Russo, Salvatore Russo, Dee Dee Harris-Russo, William Russo, and Leon Russo. For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Family of Joseph Russo and Sarah Ferone

Another brother to Grandmother Angelina Iacano was Joseph, who married his first cousin Sara Ferone. Our family information says that the couple had no known children. However, only one Joe and Sara Russo family appears in the 1940 census of Cleveland. That couple's children were Frank, Joseph, Jeanne, Carl, and Ettore Russo. Further research in other censuses is clearly needed. For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Family of Tony Russo and Bertha Costanza

Another brother to Grandmother Angelina Iacano was Tony, who married Bertha Costanza. Two known children Rose Mary Russo-Eagle and Gaetana Russo-Parker. For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Family of Caroline Russo and Frank Palatrone

A sister to Grandmother Angelina Iacano was Caroline, who married Frank Palatrone. Their children Frank Palatrone II and Beverly Palatrone-Blaha. For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Iacano (Iacono) Families

Prevalence of the family name Iacono in Italy

That Ragusa is only one of many, many cities and towns that the Iacono family might have come from. This image from Gens.info locates the presence of Iaconos in 2020 Italy. A small concentration is in the city of Rome, and several enclaves are in northern Italy in the areas of Milano and Genoa. Larger concentrations are in Napoli and the Ischian islands off the Neapolitan coast. The largest concentrations are in Sicily, near the cities of Agrigento and Ragusa. However, almost all regions of Italy contain inhabitants with the Iacono family name.

Both handed down family information and records research in the civil registries establish our family origin to be Ragusa. The family name was changed in America from Iacono to "Iacano" sometime after John Iacano married Angelina Russo Femminella in 1914.

The Family of John Iacano and Angelina Russo Femminella

Chuck's parents are Rose Mary Iacano (1916-1976) and Charles Derry (1908-1974). Rose was the second oldest child in her family of seven brothers and sisters: Frannie Iacano-Ventura, Frank Iacano, Jimmy Iacano, Jennie Iacano-Flauto, John Iacano, Joe Sam Iacano, and Tannie Iacano-Cosiano. For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Family of Emanuel Iacano and Angelina Tumino

The eldest known brother to Grandfather John Iacano is Emanuel Iacano (1882-1952), who was married to Angelina Tumino (est 1883-1963). For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

Up to at least 1940, Cleveland Ohio was the home of two Emanuel Iacano families. The other couple was made up of the father Emanuel and mother Catherine LaTore. Continuing research in the United States censuses will clarify the names and births of children in each family. At this point, several children have the same given name, and they might be attributed to the wrong parents.

The Brother Sam Gacomo (Iacono)

The family information developed in the U.S. gives the spelling of "Gacomo" for this part of the family. Grandfather John's brother Sam was said to have immigrated to Argentina. His information is not certain, but his birth is estimated 1875 and death calculated to be 1940. 

I have begun contacting members of Facebook named Iacono who live in Argentina.

For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Brother George Gacomo (Iacono)

Another brother to Grandfather John Iacano was reported to be George Gacomo, estimated dates of 1875-1935. The family information developed in the U.S. gives the spelling of "Gacomo" for this part of the family. 

For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The Sister Georgia Gacomo (Iacono)

A sister Georgia is also reported without certain information. Her dates are estimated to be 1875-1940. The family information developed in the U.S. gives the spelling of "Gacomo" for this part of the family. 

For more information, click the title of this section to go to another blog page.

The continuing story of Biagio Russo (1897-1962 ?)

When Chuck showed me his family tree around 1998, it seemed pretty extensive to me. That was before I more fully understood genealogy research. Here is his work from 1971. (Click on the image to view it better.)

Since then, I quizzed him and members of his family, adding vital statistics to the tree. I also developed the hope to include at least the parents and siblings of those who married into the family.

The Family of John Iacano and Angela Russo

Most importantly, Chuck documented his grandparents John Iacano (born Giovanni Iacono) and Angela Russo (born Angela Russo Femminella). Recently, I've placed the family in the 1940 U.S. Federal Census of Cleveland and at the address of 3473 East 114th Street. This census is key to documenting the family, since it was the last opportunity to find them together. The oldest daughter, Frances, had already married in 1935, Grandmother Angela would die in July 1940 after removal of a liver cyst and subsequent internal hemorrhage, Grandfather John would die on 20 October 1944 in the East Ohio Gas explosion, and youngest son Joe Sam would die heroically on 9 February 1945 in the last offensive against the Nazi Wehrmacht at the border between Luxembourg and Germany.

The work in the 1940 Census revealed the families that held the spouses of Chuck's uncles and aunts. Surrounding his mothers' family of 1940, I found...

• The newly married John Ventura and Frances Iacano couple living with his sister Josephine and brother-in-law Joseph Cancilla. Their address is 3368 East 126th Street in Cleveland.
• 
  The future first husband of Rose Iacano, Tony Calire, living at home with his parents Joseph and Rosalind Carlire and four siblings (Jack, Josephine, Charles and Santina). The address is 4669 East 146th Street in Cleveland.
• Rose's second husband Charles Derry living with his parents Charles Hercule and Jennie M Derry and sibling Dorothy and her new husband Max Gast. The address is 13507 St. Clair Avenue in Cleveland. His estranged wife Leona Reese-Derry claimed his residence as 9601 Lockyear Avenue, with her and their three children (Dorothy, Lois, and Shirley).
  Separately, I found Charles Derry's other sister Ethel married to George Morton in Elyria OH and housing her father-in-law Oliver Morton.
• Uncle Frank's future wife Frances Nanak at home with her parents Pavel (Paul) and Eva Nanak and her three siblings (Paul, Anna, and John). The family name is spelled "Manak" in the enumeration. Their address is 2372 East 28th Street in Cleveland.
• Uncle Jimmie's future wife Frances LoPiccolo living with her widowed father Christopher and her eight siblings (John, Sue, Jennie, Mary, Grace, Rose, Jack, and Maryanne). The enumeration spans two pages, shown here in one image. Their address is 2521 East 23rd Street in Cleveland.
• Uncle John's future wife Florence Pounds at home in Lamesa, Dawson County TX with her parents Robert and Nannie Pounds and her brother Olan.
• Aunt Tanny's future husband Ralph Coschignano (later Cosiano) at home with his parents Pasquale (giving the nickname Patsy) and Martha and his brothers Frank and Patrick. They resided at 2390 East 38th Street in Cleveland.

Over the 80 years since the 1940 census, Cleveland has changed a lot. Most of those residences have been razed and replaced by subsidized housing or light industry. This map shows the Cleveland residences plotted over a 1994 aerial photograph of the city.

Other Iacano Families

Chuck's information about the family extended back to his Sicilian great-grandparents. His grandfather's parents were Francesco Iacono (which his sources said was spelled "Gacomo") and Francesca Rovetto.

His sources named two great uncles and a great aunt who migrated to South America. Another great uncle, Emmanuele, settled in Cleveland. His family may still have members living in Cleveland, but Chuck's family is no longer in touch with them. My research in Cleveland reveals several other potential relatives with similar family names. However, no information links them to this Iacano family.

• One of these families is the Louis Iacano family. In 1940, Louis was 57 (born in Italy before April 1883). His wife, Jenny, was 46 and also born in Italy. One 20-year-old daughter was living with them, Carrie, who was born in New York. Two sons, Joe and Angelo aged 13 and 12 respectively and both born in Ohio, were also part of this family. Carrie's birth in New York makes it relatively unlikely that they are related. This couple might have married as early as 1910 and as late as 1919.
• The census includes the Michael "Iacfnofno" family. In 1940, Michael was 45 (born in Italy before April 1895). His wife Clara Iacfnofno, age 42, was also born in Italy. The family included a son and a daughter: Lawerence, 16, and Mary, 15, both born in Ohio. This couple's marriage might have been between 1914 and 1923.
• I've searched for a marriage of Louis Iacano, with no result. I had presumed that Louis and Jenny married before emigrating from Italy, but I felt it worthwhile to explore this as a chance. 
• I've also searched for a marriage of their eldest daughter Carrie. No results show the name "Carrie," and results for variants of "Carol" do not include Louis Iacano or Jenny (with any surname) as parents.
• I searched also for a marriage of Joe Iacano with parents Louis and Jenny, without result.
• I searched for a marriage of Angelo Iacano with parents Louis and Jenny. Also without result.
• Searches for any with the family name "Iacfnofno" produce no results. I presume the name was mis-written by the census enumerator. Perhaps it should have been simply "Iacano" or a variant, perhaps as varied as "LoIacano," which is a family in Cleveland. However, neither searches for "Lawrence Iac*" nor "Lawrence LoIac*" produce results.

The Emmanuele Iacano family was indeed present in the 1940 Census.

Other Russo Families

Angelina Russo-Iacano's siblings included Biagio, Joseph, Tony, and Caroline. The information for Joseph, Tony, and Caroline are straightforward.

Other Blogna Families

Angelina Russo-Iacano's parents, Vincent Russo and Rosa Blogna-Russo also immigrated to Cleveland, as did at least one Aunt (Anna Blogna).

Online registers of 19th-C in south-western Baden

I've found that registers of 19th-Century births, marriages, and deaths are online for the southern parts of Baden. These are from Standesämter that are in the Freiburg adminstrative district. The Freiburg distict includes the purple Kriese in the map provided.

Use these steps to find online records for your ancestors:

1. Use one of these links:

• Magenta (red) area on the map Staatsarchiv Karlsruhe for a list of - 28 Amtsgerichte (Area Registrars)
• Violet area on the map Staatsarchiv Freiburg - 35 Amtsgerichte
• Aqua (green) area Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg - undefined
• Blue area Staatsarchiv Sigmarinen - undefined

1. Select an Amtsgericht from the list in the left column, A listing of its first 20 books of registry then appears in the right column.
2. Select ALLE (above the slide bar on the right) to list the books that are online from the Amtsgericht.
3. Find your town of interest. Several different register books may be available.

Great-grandmother Leopoldina Salinger (1839-1919)

My great-grandmother Leopoldina Salinger was born in Breisach am Rhein in 1839. Her birth on 29 May 1839 is documented in the civil registers of the city. The record is available through this online source,as well as those of her siblings Carl Julius (1833-1833), Anton Herrmann (1836-), Maria Anna Josepha (1838-), and Maria Anna (1843-).

The records of Breisach am Rhein are available in several volumes with the following groupings of years:

• 1810-1818
• 1819-1826
• 1827-1834
• 1835-1840
• 1841-1847
• 1848-1854
• 1855-1858
• 1859-1864
• 1865-1870

I have reviewed only the first and second volumes in any great detail. It is likely that records of marriages and deaths for family members after 1842 will not be in this town. Both her father Georg Salinger and mother Katherina Vogel-Salinger were born in the first decade of the 19th C, and I expect they might have deaths reported at age 65 or younger. If the siblings survived and remained in Breisach, any of their marriages would be reported at age 40 or younger.

I am pursuing further research in similar online sources for Rastatt, Ettlingen, Karlsruhe/Durlach, and Kònigheim, cities in Baden where other ancestors came from.

The Salinger Family

Revisions on 3 April 2019 update this section with more recent research.

My great-grandmother Leopoldina Salinger-Ohnsat (1839-1919) emigrated from Baden-Württemberg in 1871. Her family lived in Breisach from about 1832 to about 1842, while her father worked as an Amtsdiener. Another family headed by Georg Selinger lived in the outlying and smaller settlement of Hochstetten at least from 1835. Leopoldine's family name was spelled "Salinger" and occasionally "Selinger" in Germany, and its spelling "Sallinger" occurred sometime during immigration, naturalization, or resettlement.

Her parents were Georg Salinger (1803-1856) and Katherina Vogel (about 1810-1862). Georg was identified as an Amtsdiener in several birth documents for his children. This occupation is an honorific today or a ceremonial duty that is given as a political award. In the 19th Century, an Amtsdiener could have performed a wide variety of clerical tasks in a registrar's office or could have been little more than a manager of visitors to the office (asking citizens to wait in the lobby and escorting them to the registrar's desk when the clerk was ready to take their information). In older German usage, there may have been distinctions in the function of an Amtsdiener, a Büttel, a Fronbote, a Gerichtsdiener, and a Saaldiener; however, modern German usage does not imply great differences, except that a Gerichtsdiener is associated with civil and criminal courts. Simple translations could be among these: an "usher," a "beadle," or a "messenger" of a municipal court. The Zedler Universal-Lexikon (1731-1754) has this definition:

Amts-Knecht, Amts-Diener, ist ein geschworner Bote, welcher das, was vor Gerichte geschen soll,  durch des Amtmanns Befehl denen Partheben überbringen und ankundigen muß. Wie er denn auch die Amts-Delinquenten einbringen, und dem Nachrichter überlieffern muß. [Band I (A-AM), p. 898, bottom of column 1817]

That is,

Official servant is a sworn messenger who must, at the bailiff's command, deliver to those taking part in the proceedings those charged persons who must be tried before a court of law. In the court proceedings, the Amtsdiener announces the availability of those charged. He must also bring in the charged parties and leave them with the reporter.

Rastatt (left), Ettlingen, and Durlach (right, top) in the
Karlsruhe region along the Rhein River

Leopoldine's father came from Rastatt, and her mother from Durlach or Ettlingen, about 80 and 90 miles north of Breisach. Both Durlach and Ettlingen are within Karlsruhe Kreis, and Rastatt is a historically important city along the middle Rhein. Georg Salinger married Katharina Vogel on 3 December 1829 in St. Peter and Paul Catholic church in Durlach, and two children were born there: Carolina Christina in 1830 and Barbara Luise in 1831.

Although movement from one town to another within a few miles was fairly common, the distance to Breisach seems unusual. I suspected that Georg Salinger had performed the work of Amtsdiener in Rastatt and was recommended for the post in Breisach. However, the marriage record for the couple states that he was "sergeant/junior officer with the Guards Cavalry Regiment at Gottsau." It's possible that he left military service and worked in a governmental bureau before the family moved to Breisach.

I have only preliminary research for the generation of these 2nd-great-grandparents. I have found documentation of their marriage in the registers of Durlach and Rastatt. The Rastatt register entry is a certified copy of the Durlach register:

Marriage registry of Georg Sallinger and Katharina Vogel,
Durlach, Germany

In the year 1829 on December 3 at 1:30 in the afternoon, after the announcement of two marriage banns that occurred on the 24th Sunday after Pentecost and the 1st Sunday of Advent in Durlach and in Karlsruhe; after receiving the release of the groom from the grand ducal Catholic town parish office in Karlsruhe, with no objections raised; were married and blessed by the undersigned: Georg Sallinger from Rastatt (prospective citizen from Rastatt.), sergeant/junior officer with the Guards Cavalry Regiment at Gottsau, legitimate son of the deceased Sallinger, Leopold from Rastatt; with the unmarried Katharina Vogel from Ettlingen, daughter of Katharina Vogel from here[ [Durlach], wife of the Würzburger Marand, legal/protected citizen and last maker here.

Witnesses were: both sergeants/junior officers Carl Oehlwang from Karlsruhe and Stephan Bischof from Kisselbronn [= Kieselbronn] near Pforzheim.Durlach,

Typically ages of the bride and groom are given in a marriage record, especially if they are young adults. Since the ages are not given, I presume that neither is of younger age. I guess that Georg was then about 30 years old, and that Katharina was perhaps younger than 25. So I estimated their births to be 1799 and 1807 (plus or minus 5 years), respectively. These dates establish a search range for their birth or baptism records. Recently I found Georg's birth-baptism record in Rastatt: 21 February 1803.

Officers' dress uniforms of the Rastatt regimental cavalry.

Georg Salinger's home of origin in the marriage entry is of some interest. He is given a "prospective" citizenship in Durlach; he was "release" from the "grand ducal Catholic town parish office in Karlsruhe," and his father Leopold is from Rastatt. Likely, then, Georg was born in Rastatt at the end of the 18th Century, then a city of 3000 residents. Until 1771, Rastatt was the residence of the margrave of Baden-Baden, with a large palace at the center of the city. The residence of the margrave moved in the late 18th Century to another city, but a military garrison remained in Rastatt. Perhaps the young Georg began his military service in Rastatt and was moved then to Karlsruhe to serve the grand duke. (The city was the location for peace negotiations between France, Prussia, and Austria in the last years of the 18th Century, known as the Congrès de Rastatt. However, the negotiations had only one catastrophic result: the murder of two French diplomats and the serious wounding of a third.) I presume Georg was intending to live in Durlach, as evidenced by the parenthetical description of neuangehender Bürger von Rastatt, "prospective citizen from Rastatt."

Katharina Vogel's home of origin in the marriage entry is also of interest. Her mother's residence is given as Durlach, but the bride's residence is given as Ettlingen. Of additional interest for research is the identity of her mother's husband as "the Würzburger Marand, legal/protected citizen and last maker here [in Durlach]."

The Georg Salinger family returned to Durlach in time for the birth of their seventh child, Maria Anna, on 29 August 1843. Because Katharina would have reached 40 soon after then, it's unlikely that more children came to the family. Georg Salinger died on 4 January 1856 in Tauberbischofsheim. 

I continue research for the birth, reason for living in Ettlingen, and death of Katharina Vogel—and for information about her parents.

Leopoldine's paternal grandfather was named in her parents' marriage record: Leopold Sallinger from Rastatt. I have found the marriage of Leopold Salinger to Margaretha Mayer on 11 January 1802 in Rastatt and his death on 12 July 1821. I estimate his birth to be around 1767; similarly, I estimate Margaretha Mayer's birth to be about 1775 and her death to have been about 1850. Her paternal great-grandparents may be Joseph Salinger (about 1745-1800) and Franziska Idamann (about 1740-1800) and Georg Mayer (about 1740-1800) married 8 August 1768 to Maria Anna Maisch (about 1760-1800).


Leopoldine's maternal grandmother was identified as Katharina Vogel from Karlsruhe-Durlach, who was married to "the Würzburger Marand, legal/protected citizen and last maker [in Durlach]." I believe this indicates that Marand is a step-parent who came originally from Würzburg. The mother Katharina married Morand Würzburger on 30 May 1814 in Durlach. I estimate the elder Katharina married an unknown Vogel before 1807 in Durlach, and that she was born before 1780, probably in Durlach. However, it is possible that the younger Katharina Vogel was a birth outside of marriage (once called illegitimate). Leopoldine's maternal great grandparents may be Martin Vogel and Margaretha Wagner.

How I research U.S. Census enumerations

It can be sometimes easy or sometimes frustrating to find a person in the U.S. Censuses. But it's a valuable tool to understand more about an ancestor, if their enumeration is found in one or more censuses.

Background

Three types of censuses are available for researchng .

• The First Census of the United States population was taken after the American Revolution in 1790, under Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. Twenty-two federal censuses have occurred through 2010. The detail of each census has been made available 72 years after the census.

• The First Census of Agriculture was taken in 1840 as part of the Sixth Census of the United States population. The census remained a part of the decennial census through 1950, with separate mid-decade Censuses of Agriculture taken in 1925, 1935 and 1945. The Census of Agriculture is a census conducted every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) that provides the only source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data for every county in the United States.

• Most member states of the USA conduct State Censuses on a regular basis. The exceptions are Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and West Virginia. The variety of data collected varied with the state and the year. 

 

Availability 

Copies of many state censuses are on microfilm at the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Family History Library's most complete collections of state censuses are for Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. The Family History Library has provided most censuses as a set of digital images with a searchable database.

Search the Indexes

The following links are to a search page to the digital indexes managed by the Family History Library. The general search page can also post census appearances, and a general search could be more useful if you hope to find several census appearances for one family group.

Organizing Your Census Search

If your family data is very up-to-date, you may need to search for only a few isolated census enumerations. But if you want to provide census data for a large number of people in your extended family, you may find this guide useful.

1. Review your existing data on ancestors and place their family names as relevant searches for each census year available. Typically, this results in a "Long Table" that correlates each person's birth and death years with available censuses.
2. Organize the "Long Table" into research groups:
• Into geographic areas, if you want to research all the census information for each locality. This focus produces detail for a One-Place Study (Step 3).
• Into family groups, if you want to research each family as a set for detail in a Family Study (Step 4). 
3.  One-Place Study approach
1. steps to be added.
4. Family Study approach 
1. steps to be added.

Searching Transcribed Data

Census records can have many errors, as three steps created the indexed census information. (First is the person who provides the information during the census. Ages and dates can be incorrectly remembered; spellings may not be accurate. Second is the person who writes down the information during the census. Often the errors made in this step are matters of spelling or legibility. Third is the person who transcribes the information to the index. The transcriber is furthest removed from the accurate information. In recognition of this fact, most transcription efforts include one or more reviews before placing the index online.) In one case, my great grandfather was Johann Mathias Kohn at his birth. He later called himself "John M Kohn" in America. However, his name was entered to the index as "John W Kaserly." The family name has been indexed in other censuses with other spellings too: "Cohen," "Kahn," and several others.

How can you use the search page to find such an erroneous entry? Start with the most specific information, and gradually make the search less specific. Or use different combinations of known information.

• Search for the full, known name.
• This step is most useful for relatively uncommon names that are spelled correctly. 
• For a more common names, make the search more specific by providing a birth location and date. 
• The familysearch.org search engine can return thousands of results, but the website allows only about 5000 results to be displayed.
• The familysearch.org website allows you to select the display of 20, 50, or 75 results on each page.
• You can edit the URL to display as many as 500 entries per page.
  1. Find the portion of the URL that reads "count=20".
  2. Change the number to a value 500 or less.
  3. Press [Enter]. It will take a bit longer for the results to display.
  4. After you've reviewed the results, use the [Next] button at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. Using the Next button instead of the page number buttons will display as many as 5000 results in successive pages.
• Search for the full name in a specific state, county, or city.
• Search for known variants of the full name. Given name: "John M," "John," "Matthew," and "J M" are four possibilities for the enumeration.
  At least in the familysearch.org search engine, "John" and "Johann" are automatically checked while searching for either variant of the name, similarly for variants of other names such as "Matthew" and "Mathias." 
• Search for the family name plus an initial for the given name. Supply the initial as "J*" to post all names starting with J.
  The given name may have been incorrectly entered or illegible.
• Search for the family name as an initial and asterisk. Supply the full first name or its initial.
  The family name may have been entered incorrectly or illegible. For this search, we assume that the first letter was correct and legible.
• Search for the the first names of two persons known (or assumed) to be residing together.
  For example, enter the first name of the husband and the first name of his wife.
  In case the husband or wife has died before the census, try entering the name of child who is younger than about 20 and would likely be at home with the family.

List of old Familienbücher at Trier Archive

I came across an inventory of older, handwritten Familienbücher as listed by Deacon Würringer at the diocesan archives in Trier. The inventory is the first item of the Family History Library film 1336871, perhaps now available online. [Date?]

The inventory has only a few pages, most of which document Familienbücher for the Trier parishes. The last page lists FBs for several parishes at a small distance from Trier, but still within the Verbandsgemeinde.

At this republication of 2018.10.20, I provide a good transcription instead of the OCR rendering of these pages. I also provide a translation (and expansion as needed) of the pages.

Family Books and Alphabetic Indexes of Trier

Subscription 77, items 1-62

The use of "Subscription" means perhaps that the publication was actually sent to several members who had asked for regular updates to the publications of the diocesan archives.

The actual items documented in this publication includes items 1 through 66 for churches and registrars in Trier and items 67 through 92 for churches in towns that are generally within the wider district that is now called "Trier-Land."
