Hi
I am searching for the marriage record of my great grandparents. Each was born in Sicily, but emigrated to Tunisia sometime in the early 20th century and then came to the united states in 1910. This site (amazing) has been able to find and post the baptismal records for two of their children who were born in Tunis. But so far, no marriage record. I have searched so many records in their home towns in Sicily that I actually found marriage records for their siblings but nothing for them. I only have family stories (which have turned out to be mostly untrue) about them but no solid information about when and where they married. They were definitely born in Sicily. I have seen the birth records online. They were definitely in Tunis (The baptism records of their two children) and the definitely emigrated to the United States but I cannot find the marriage record. Yes, I have searched the portale antenanti.
Do the baptismal records from Tunis have information on the marriage? Should I order copies of them?
Is there any other source for marriage records in Tunis?
He is Salvatore Policastro B. 1880 in Ali, Messina Sicily. Parents Carmelo and Sebastiana Villegiante (or Villegiate). His sisters were married in Ali Messina in the early 1900s.
She is Guiseppa Celestina Greco (went by Celestina) b. 1889 in Marsala, Trapani, Sicily to parents Girolamo and Ignazia Lombardo.
Their two children on the Geneanum site are Sebastiana Policastro baptized in 1907 and Carmelo Policastro baptized in 1909
I am open to insight on how to complete this search. I feel they would have married in Sicily. According to my mother, my ggranmother knew her mother in law and that her father wanted my GGrandfather to court the older sister (possibly Giacomina). But I don't know how they met or how their relationship proceeded.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
