San Benigno Canavese (Torino)

[Peggy_ICT]

Can anyone tell me how I can locate cemetaries in San Benigno Canavese? I know my great-grandparents were born there, and I'm guessing that their parents died there, but I have no idea when or where they (my great-great GP's)died.

Thanks,
Peggy in Kansas

Do you have civil records of them from San Benigno Canavese?
Do you know the church they used?

Hi.
I live in the area and I can assure you there's only one cemetery in San Benigno Canavese:
CIMITERO COMUNALE
Via Chivasso
10080 San Benigno Canavese (TO)

Also, the church your ggparents could have used was certainly the catholic one, the only existing there at that time. Here's the address:
PARROCCHIA S. MARIA ASSUNTA
Piazza Cardinale Delle Lanze, 1
10080 San Benigno Canavese (TO)

Finally, I agree with what Adelfio suggested through the link he gave: nothing is impossible, but (too?) many years have passed in order to easily locate their graves.
In my opinion, it would be better to start looking for them in San Benigno's Church or Civil records, if you have clues they really lived there.

Hope this helps.
Ciao,
Maurizio

Hi Maurizio great info!!
There are film records from Family History Library for Registri ecclesiastici di San Benigno Canavese (Torino), 1674-1899 Chiesa cattolica. Parrocchia di San Benigno Canavese (Torino) Baptisms, marriages, deaths.
With these records if you family stayed in that area you could get info back to 1674
