Hi,
My grandparents on my Mom's side were married in the church "SS Pietro e Caterina" in Ronciglione, Viterbo, Lazio, Italy on 30 January 1909. Their names were Giovanni Rocchi and Anna Pelliccia.
I obtained a copy of the marriage banns from an online database (located at http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it) and this helped me to identify their parents' names ... my great grandparents. Then via the same online source, I discovered their death records which helped me to estimate the year of birth.
Tommaso Rocchi (born ~1848, died 17 Dec 1921)
Vittoria Bianchini (born ~1854, died 5 Feb 1929)
Pietro Pelliccia (born ~1855, died 15 Apr 1910)
Beatrice Carelli (born ~1852, died 25 Dec 1900)
I would like to know the exact date of when they were born and married. I tried to see if I could order microfilm from the LDS Family History library but unfortunately, the microfilm for Ronciglione, Viterbo, Lazio, Italy only includes years starting at 1870.
If I assume that all of my great grandparents were baptized and married at the same church as my grandparents, the SS Pietro e Caterina in Ronciglione, can someone help me with the contact information for sending a letter or email to the church or perhaps the parish or diocesi to request copies of the baptism and marriage records?
I do not speak/write Italian but I have seen sample letters written in Italian at this site and another site so I should be able to send a letter or email once I have the contact information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nancy
