You would have to get his baptism record the earlier vital records in Italy were kept by the churches. The civil government started keeping vital records, which started about 1809 to 1820 Before that, church records were kept but contain less information then civil records.
So you would have to find the name of the parish church

Thank you Marty,
I am returning to Sicily in May so this is very helpful. I will print out the letter and hand it to them. This will make my search for the church soooo much easier. When I was there in October I didn't even know where to start. Thank you Again, I love this site.
