Surnames in Roccacalascio in a Catasto Pre-Onciario, Abruzzo, Italy

The list of different surnames is based on the index of the capofuochi, in a catasto pre-onciario. Source: Archivio di Stato L'Aquila.

Below are the surnames recorded in a catasto pre-onciario of Roccacalascio for the year 1650. The catasto preonciario usually did not list all members of a family though in the pages devoted to the properties of each family it is possible to infer relationships with other families, bordering or owning jointly. Roccacalascio was almost abandoned in the following centuries, and is today part of the municipality of Calascio. 60 different surnames are recorded, with 88 capofuochi (families) giving an approximate population of about 440 people.
There may be transcription mistakes, since the index is a manuscript. Details on any single family, with individuals, relation and age are available in the original manuscript. For professional help in obtaining genealogical data, visit the genealogy section of www.italyworldclub.com
