The baptism, marriage, and death records from 1823-1899 that took place in the Chiesa San Dalmazzo in Cuorgnè are available as part of the Registri ecclesiatici della Diocesi di Torino. However, these records have not yet been indexed and can be difficult to navigate. I’ve written a brief introduction to this collection previously. This post is an image index that will allow you to quickly navigate to the records that pertain to Cuorgnè in a given year. Remember, you will need a free account on FamilySearch to view these records.

Sometimes a record omits surnames or maiden names. Since civil death records also exist during this time period, they can be used as a source of additional or confirmatory information. Names marked with an asterisk have been augmented by information found in the civil death records.

Canischio is bordered by the villages of Sparone, Cuorgnè, Alpette, San Colombano Belmonte, Pratiglione, and Prascorsano. It is not uncommon for people from those towns to appear Canischio records. Of course, we often find people from Canischio in the records of the neighboring towns as well. To ease in tracing Canischians in other town’s records, I’m working to create image indexes for the church records for the towns in the vicinity of Canischio.
As a reminder, all these records are available as part of the Registri ecclesiatici della Diocesi di Torino. I’ve written a brief introduction to this collection previously. The records have not yet been indexed and can be difficult to navigate. The image indexes allow you to quickly navigate to the records that pertain to the town you are interested in for a specific year. Remember, you will need a free account on FamilySearch to view these records.
As additional indexes are completed, links to them will be included below.
The baptism, marriage, and death records from 1823-1899 that took place in the Chiesa Sant’Andrea Apostolo in Prascorsano are available as part of the Registri ecclesiatici della Diocesi di Torino. However, these records have not yet been indexed and can be difficult to navigate. I’ve written a brief introduction to this collection previously. This post is an image index that will allow you to quickly navigate to the records that pertain to Prascorsano in a given year. Remember, you will need a free account on FamilySearch to view these records.
The links below will navigate you directly to the first image of the collection that pertains to Prascorsano for the listed year. Typically, each year begins with baptisms, followed by marriages and finishing with deaths. The records within each section are in chronological order. You can navigate forward and backward through the images using the left and right arrows circled below:

Recently, I’ve spent time researching writings and books written about Canischio during the 1800’s. and early 1900’s. I’m trying to gain a sense of what my great-great grandparents might have experienced growing up in Canischio before they immigrated to the United States.
I’ve found a number of publications by searching Google Books. Of course, I don’t know Italian well enough to read the passages direct, but I find that Google translate helps me get a rough sense of what is meant. Below is a an except and translation from the book La patria: geografia dell’ Italia, compiled by Gustavo Strafforello and originally published in 1890. According to the title page, the six volume work describes “Historical notes, costumes, topography, products, industry, trade, sea, rivers, lakes, canals, roads, bridges, railways, ports, monuments, statistical data, population, education, provincial and municipal budgets, charitable institutions, public buildings, etc., etc.”
The excerpt below is from the second edition in 1907. It is laid out alongside a rough translation using Google translate.
Canischio (1101ab.). — Giace a 660 metri sul livello del mare, ad est del monte Soglio, in una piccola valle di forma ovale, di circa 5 chilometri e mezzo, irrigata dal Gallenga e da altro piccolo torrentello. L’abitato è in gran parte formato da rustici casolari. Il Comune è costituito dalle frazioni di Mezzavilla, Rua, dove ha sede il municipio, Fojasso o Fogliasso, Ferrero-Riapetto, Braida, Forest, Sombeila, Lombarnero.
Canischio (pop. 1101). – It lies 660 meters above sea level, east of Mount Soglio, in a small oval-shaped valley, about five and a half kilometers long, irrigated by the Gallenga and another small stream. The inhabited area is largely made up of rustic farmhouses. The town is made up of the hamlets of Mezzavilla, Rua, where the townhall is located, Fojasso or Fogliasso, Ferrero-Riapetto, Braida, Forest, Sombeila, Lombarnero.
La chiesa parrocchiale, di architettura, in parte, barocca, è dedicata a S. Lorenzo.
The parish church, partially baroque in architecture, is dedicated to St. Lorenzo.
Nell’antica cappella campestre di Santo Stefano in Canischio vuolsi si seppellisse la celebre Adelaide contessa di Torino, sposa di Oddone figlio d’Umberto I, marchese d’Italia (v. Cronologia della Casa di Savoia in fine del volume), morta il 19 dicembre del 1091 nel castello della Sala in Canischio, di cui diciamo breve parola più sotto.
In the ancient country chapel of Santo Stefano in Canischio was buried the famous Adelaide countess of Turin, wife of Odo son of Umberto I, marquis of Italy (see Chronology of the House of Savoy at the end of the volume), who died on 19 December 1091 in the castle of the Sala in Canischio, of which we say a few words below.
Il territorio di 1060 ettari, dà fieno in bellissime praterie, cereali in prosperosi campi, legna nei boschi. E prevalente industria locale la fabbricazione di attrezzi rurali e di arnesi in legno d ‘intaglio per uso domestico. Molti dei Canischiesi attendono alla coltura della terra e alla pastorizia, ma giova osservare che il paese dà un ragguarde vole contributo all’ emigrazione in America. Le feraci praterie consentendo l’alleva mento del bestiame, ne scaturiscono da esso le conseguenti industrie, prima fra queste la locale confezione di ottimi formaggi, particolarmente fabbricati con latte di pecora e di capra. In paese vi ha una fabbrica d’olio di noce. Nelle varie frazioni trovansi molini in esercizio.
The territory of 1060 hectares gives hay in beautiful prairies, cereals in prosperous fields, wood in the forest. The prevailing local industry is the manufacture of country implements and carved wooden utensils for domestic use. Many of the Canischians look after the cultivation of the land and pastoralism, but it should be noted that the country makes a considerable contribution to emigration to America. The fertile grasslands, allowing the raising of livestock, derive from it the consequent industries, first of all the local confection of excellent cheeses, particularly made with sheep’s and goat’s milk. In the village there is a walnut oil factory. In the various hamlets there are mills in operation.
Fiorisce in luogo dal 1895 una società operaia agricola che esercisce un magazzino di consumo.
An agricultural workers’ society has flourished in place since 1895, operating a consumer warehouse.
Il paese è provveduto di banda musicale.
The town has a musical band.
Canischio è Comune antichissimo: nella frazione detta Fojasso mostransi i ruderi del castello o rocca della Sala, fatto costruire da Manfredo, marchese di Torino, in cui soleva ritirarsi la gran contessa Adelaide, che, come diciamo più sopra, vi morì nel 1091.
Canischio is a very ancient municipality: in the fraction called Fojasso are the ruins of the castle or fortress of the Sala, built by Manfredo, Marquis of Turin, in which the great Countess Adelaide used to retire, who, as we say above, died in 1091.
Cuorgnè, distante 6 chilometri, è la stazione ferroviaria più vicina al luogo.
Cuorgnè, six kilometers away, is the closest railway station to the place.

Although not recorded in this index, the actual records usually have a rich amount of information including:
Baptism date of the child
Sex of the child
Birthplaces of both parents
Residence of parents
Paternal and maternal grandfathers’ names and whether or not they were living or deceased at the time of the baptism
Names of the godparents and the names of their fathers
You should be cautious about inferring the birthplace of the child since it is not explicitly recorded. However, many of the children whose parents are listed as residents of Canischio were also born in Canischio. Beginning in 1866, you can confirm birthplaces using Civil Registration records. Indexes and links to the Civil Registration records from 1866-1900 are found on the Births page of this site.
