I am looking for my great aunt and her family. Her name is Maria Sofia Amato, born in 1870 in Serra San Bruno, Calabria. She married a Salvatore Belamino (sp?) in Serra San Bruno 10 June 1897. That's where I lose them. Can anyone help me find out what happened to them?

Real estate sales in Serra San Bruno

Is there an archives office somewhere that has records of real estate transactions in Serra San Bruno 100+ years ago? My g-g aunt supposedly sold land about 1900. Would love to know if the rumor is true.
