Death records in churches and in the Municipal offices for vital records can tell you who is buried in these towns and the date of their demise. In almost all cases the local office of the comune called Stato Civile or Anagrafe can be reached by mail for births,marriages and deaths provided you can furnish them with full names and approximate year of deaths if a more accurate date is unknown. Please avdise how we can asist you. =Peter=
