Subjects of Focus: Identity of Luigi Giulio ______

The purpose of this report is to summarize the data and goals for your project. Please review the information in this report carefully and report if any additional information is known at project start or if any of the information should be changed or corrected. ______

Client has a desire to establish and prove the specific dates and places of origin as well as marriage for Luigi Giulio. The spelling of the name for our subject was reported various ways on records obtained on his identity and the identities of his children born in the U.S. Two baptismal certificates from 1917 and 1921 from the All Saints Church in Detroit, Michigan were obtained by client and on those records Luigi was noted to have been Ludovico Guilio or in Latin Ludovicus Guilio. A birth record from the State of Michigan for Alex Julio born in 1917 was obtained by client and on that record the father of Alex was noted to have been Louis Julio born circa 1884 in Italy. A letter from the Ford Motor Company is in possession of client from 1996 that verifies and prove ‘Louis Julio’ was employed by that company in 1923. It was further noted in the letter that our subject was Louis Julio born circa 1888 in Italy. The last document that was previously obtained by client was a copy of an original birth record from Wayne County, Michigan for Angelina Guilio born during 1925. On that birth record her father was noted to have been Louis Guilio born circa 1889 in Italy.

Client strongly believes our subject was married prior to 1917, and although no documentation has been found yet to help prove where the couple was married it is thought that they may have been married in Italy or possibly in the United States. Client is not specifically seeking to find documentation related to the migration or naturalization status of our subject, who we will refer to in this report as ‘Luigi Giulio,’ but research may lead genealogist to obtain information on these topics to narrow down specific dates and place of birth and marriage for Luigi Giulio.

It is believed Luigi Giulio entered the U.S. between 1906-1924 and a list of children born to Luigi in the U.S. was submitted which gives the impression he may have been in the U.S. prior to 1913-1917. It is thought that Luigi Giulio may have had a son named ‘John Juliano’ born during 1913 in or nearby Steubenville, Ohio, but no documentation has been found yet to verify and prove a father/son relationship to our subject Luigi Giulio. Baptismal records as well as one State birth record was cited as proof of identity for two sons born to Luigi Giulio named Alex Julio born during 1917 in Detroit, Michigan and Angelo or ‘Alex’ Julio born during 1917 in Detroit, Michigan.

It was said by client that our subject Luigi Giulio was most likely born in or nearby Ceprano, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy circa 1884-1889. It was noted on a copy of family tree submitted by client that our subject may have died circa 1934 possibly in the State of Michigan, but a copy of his original death record was not submitted yet. No copy of original documentation has been found yet to establish and prove the identities of his parents, but it is thought that he had at least one brother Angelo Giulio born during 1891 in Ceprano, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy. No documentation has been found yet on Angelo Giulio to establish and prove the identities his parents, but he was known to have married a woman named Maria Ferri in Ceprano during 1909 before he migrated to the U.S. Out subject Luigi Giulio married a woman named Maria ‘Mary’ Pomepei and she is believed to have been born in Falvaterra, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy during 1891. It was further said she most likely died in Detroit, Michigan during 1925-1926, but a copy of her original death record has not been submitted yet.

Summary of Research Recommendations:

Although it is not a primary focus to learn more about the migration and naturalization status of Luigi Giulio over time two important types of records that should be searched on our subject include census and migration records. A combination of census records on our subject will help to verify and prove his date of arrival and will in turn also report his naturalization status over time. The approximate date of arrival will help the genealogist efficiently locate a copy of his passenger list, which will help to narrow down further his approximate date and place of marriage.

If one or more passenger lists are found it may be possible our subject initially entered the U.S. as a single person, but he may have returned to Italy at one point in time to get married with a plan to return to the U.S. with his wife to permanently resettle. The opposite may be true as well which is why it is important to find his migration record(s). His marriage status upon entry will help to verify and prove they were married in Italy at the hometown of the bride or groom prior before they left Italy.

It will also be important to narrow down his date and place of death by submitting a request to the State of Michigan to obtain a copy of an original death record on our subject Luigi Giuliano. If the identities of his parents were known by the death informant, it may be possible they were reported on his death record. The identity of his parents is important if a birth and/or marriage record or index entry is located because it will help verify the records are a match for our correct subject.

Genealogist recommends applying up to one hour of research time completing a digital collections survey on the identity of Luigi Giulio with a goal to search and obtain copies of original census records, migration records and death records or index entries related to our subject Luigi Giulio.

Digital Collections Survey is a term we use to describe a research survey that exhausts all available collections of documents that are published online including but not limited to Ancestry.com and other premium information service databases. Copies of original documentation may include census, vital, military, probate, land and church records; secondary documentation may include copies of record transcriptions, record index entries and published genealogies.

In preparation of this report genealogist identified a limited selection of Italian civil birth, marriage and death record available for survey from Ceprano, Frosinone, Lazio Italy hosted by FamilySearch. The records available for remote survey are described as follows: Births, 1875, 1882, 1884, 1888, 1889 and 1893; marriages 1877, 1884, 1896; deaths 1874-1876, 1885, 1892-93, 1897. Italian civil birth, marriage and death records from Ceprano that date after 1897 must be requested directly from the civil registration officer in Ceprano. Although there are breaks in the historic record it may be possible to find a copy of an original birth record on our subject if he was born in 1884, 1888 or 1889 in Ceprano. This survey is high-risk due to the breaks in the historic record, but if a document is found genealogist will have a specific record order number in hand to submit to the civil registration officer to obtain a certified birth extract on our subject.

It is important to note It may be possible an annotation could have been made on his birth record that noted his specific date and place of marriage in Italy as this was practice for some civil registration officers at the time. If it is not possible to find a copy of an original birth record for our subject after a survey of the Italian civil birth records from Ceprano it may be recommended to submit a request directly to the municipality of Ceprano if it is possible to find a document or documents that report the identities of his parents. The identities of his parents are important to know in advance because it may be possible more than one individual of the same name was born in Ceprano during the time when our subject was born.

Genealogist recommends applying up to one hour of research time completing an on- site digital collections survey of Italian civil birth records from Ceprano at the Familysearch Family History Center in Loudonville, New York, to search for a copy of an original birth record for Luigi Giuliano. It is advised to complete this task after the digital collection survey has been executed.

An On-Site Digital Collections Survey at the Familysearch Family History Center in Loudonville, New York is a term we use to describe a research survey that must be performed at a Familysearch Family History Centers. Familysearch offers remote access to the public of some digitized record collections, but many of digitized record collections are locked from the public and only accessible to the public on-site at Familysearch Family History Centers using a special portal.
