Thanks everyone for this discussion. I would like to follow Livio's suggestion and start by requesting the Certificato di residenza.
Is this the correct italian with which to make the request?
--------------------
Cerco informazioni sul mia famiglia. Sto chiendendo una copia del certificato di residenza storico, relativo a Maria Candoli, Residente a Roma, Via Giulia nel 1920.
Cerco questi dati per conoscere meglio la mia famiglia, e per trovare i miei parenti rimasti in Italia.
Vi ringrazio in anticipo per la vostra gentilezza e premura, e vi prego di addebitarmi tutte le spese postali e dei certificati.
Distinti saluti,
