In Italy you may request a Certificato di Stato di Famiglia which will detail all members of the immediate family if you know the head of family name and year of birth and perhaps the spouse of the head of family\'s name as well. Write in italian (see part 3 in www.italianancestry.com) to the Ufficio di Stato Civile in the Lucca. Peter
