Vicenza Valone

[lori.lornado]

Does anyone know how I may find info on the Valone family born in Simbario Italy. It is believed that the church where the records were held was burned down, but have no idea if that is true. Approx year of birth for Vicenza would be 1895. No known names of parents for Vicenza. I am assisting a friend in her search for her italian roots. My friend is very new to genealogy and I am not very familiar with looking up records in Italy. Any guidance on how we may find vital records would be very helpful. Thank You, Lori
