Surnames in Scoppito in Births 1704-1802, Abruzzo, Italy

The list of different surnames is based on the index of births of San Bartolomeo di Scoppito. Source: Archivio Parrocchiale, Scoppito.

Below are the surnames recorded in a list of 611 births of Scoppito for the years 1704-1802. Typically the couple settled in the husband's place, so when a wife's surname appears very rarely and especially if her surname does not appear in the list of the fathers, she was most probably from another place, and the birth records of the children may mention the place of the mother and also her father's name. Since a couple may have had on the average 6 children, when the father's surname appears only 5-6 times it may have been just one family with that surname. Spelling variations singular-plural with and without "de" and double consonants were also common.
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 archive of the Curia Arcivescovile, L'Aquila.
