Re: torre del greco, naples, italy

I'm looking the years around 1865 til about 1906. The mormons do have some records for Torre Del Greco, but they start in 1905 or so..to late for me. Unfortunately mail is the only way to communicate with them. I'm at a loss right now.

torre del greco, naples, italy

I'm not sure what to do. For 3 years now I have been trying to get info from Torre del greco. I have sent 3 request. I used all the right forms, sent money and still nothing. I sent the last one out about 6 months ago, and nothing yet. Anyone have any ideas what I should do?

Re: earthquake in marsicovetere

My grandfather's family is from Marsicovetere. I have looked at the civil registration records from that time period. They stop at the end of November for that year and begin again in January.
