Hi

My Gt-Gt-Gt-Gt-Gt Aunt, Lucrezia Mazzei (b.c.1798) was born in Alpe di Stazzema, Lucca Province.

She married Lorenzo Barsi in Alpe di Stazzema in 1819.

The family is still in Alpe di Stazzema in the 1841 Tuscany census.

I have found Lucrezia's death in Pietrasanta in 1884.

She is listed as a widow, but I can't find the death record of Lorenzo Barsi.

Does her death record give a commune she was living in?

I will check through that towns records if so for the death of Lorenzo.

Thanks,

Darin.

This is their marriage record:

In her death record it's written that she was living in Pietrasanta.
But I've found, in my family, that sometimes after the death of a husband, the widow moved town, often to live with one son or the other, or other relatives, so be aware of that.

Hi

Thanks for that.

My Lucrezia had a son called Agasito Barsi. He was born in Stazzema in 1831.

There seems to be an Agasito Barsi noted in this record, resident of Baccatoio.

If this is her son, I can't seem to find the town of Baccatoio listed in either antenati.san.beniculturi or familysearch.

Do you know where I can search for records in this town?

Thanks,

Darin.

Beccatoio = Pietrasanta

I think you should see here, in Val di Castello census 1841:

I've found this about an Agapito Barsi from Stazzema:

Comunicato Museo Ugo Guidi 28.8.2011

Stazzema- L’Arcivescovo di Montecarlo (Principato di Monaco), Bernard Barsi tornerà di nuovo a Stazzema. Domenica, 11 settembre, celebrerà alle undici la solenne Messa nella Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta di Stazzema.

Hi Erica

That's brilliant.

I wonder if he was a plaster figure maker like his cousin and uncles?

Yes, Agostino built tombs, tombstones and sculptures probably made of plaster and especially marble.
Pietrasanta however is a center for the processing of marble and there is also a museum:

Bel colpo Erica!

Bel colpo Erica!

Grazie!
Speriamo di trovare qualcosa in più...
Bernard Barsi nacque a Nizza, forse suo nonno Agostino si spostò lì (Bernard Barsi was born in Nice, maybe his grandfather Agostino moved there).

Barsi Maria Rosa, daughter of Lorenzo and Lucreazia Mazzei, was born in Alpe di Stazzema on September 27 1829:

Thanks Erica

That's brilliant

Well, for research in the archives of Nice I have looked in this site:
https://www.departement06.fr/archives-d ... -2895.html

The “Immigration italienne” database was established from the despoilment of the dossiers of naturalization between 1880 and 1931, expulsion records until 1935 and Grasse census of population from 1891 to 1931.
In this database I've found only one person named Barsi (carpenter by profession):

Will he be related?

Hi Erica - the picture is very small and hard to read.

Is there any way of getting a larger image without it becoming pixelated?

The children of Lucrezia that I know of were:

Maria Caterina Barsi (born and died 1820);
Bartolomeo Barsi (1821-1886) - his birth record calls him Raffaello Adriano Barsi;
Caterina Barsi (b.1823);
Maria Teresa Franesca Barsi (1826-1831);
Maria Rosa Barsi (b.1829);
Agasito Barsi (b.1831);
Maria Teresa Petronella Barsi (b.1833).

As they moved out of Stazzema I have been unable to find what happened to the children (except Bartolomeo who died in Stazzema).

Thanks,,

Darin.
