ROCCA (Rocco) / VONA Petrona (Italy)

Post by domdom »

We are looking for the birth record or for somebody who knows something about our grandparents:

Nato circa 1873. Sposato Lucia Vona circa 1897

Giuseppe Rocco (AKA Peppe)
Born 01 August 1873 (around) Petrona, Italy

Married <1897> Marcedusa, Italy
Lucia Vona
Born 24 February 1878 Marcedusa, Italy

Is there anybody who can help us to find something about them?

You can write also in Italian.

Thank you very much for the cooperation.

Dear Dom,

The Family History Center has microfilm for the town of Marcedusa, Italy that you can order for about $3.50 a roll depending on your location. The microfilm has the Birth, Marriage, and Death Records of your ancestors.

Here is the link for the film numbers

A good book to get is The Genealogist's Guide to Discovering Your Italian Ancestors, by Lynn Nelson.

I hope this helps,
