Does anyone know the address to Catholic Cathedral in Sant Agata de Goti that I would write to for records? Has anyone had any experiences with this or have any suggestions or tips?
Sant'Agata De' Goti churches canbe readily found by name and address at www.parrocchie.it putting in the town name in upper right. The church or churches listed with telephone numbers, if any indicate that a resident priest may be in residence at that church. Sant'Agata de'Goti does not have any parish church listed, however, so send an e-mail to the Archbishop with your request at SEGRETARIOARCIVESCOVOBN@HOTMAIL.IT
The parish priests normally hold sway over their church records and must be dealt with individually.

This would also entail offering to pay for any researcher that might be needed if the parish priest requires the services of a resedarcher (hopefully his nephew). =Peter=

I assume you will be sending the e-mail to the Archbishops office so see what they respond and then after getting the information with a priests name or location of the records and get back to us. =Peter=
