jack182183 makes a very good point. The processetti records contain death extracts (if applicable) for the parents and grandparents of the bride and groom. Through these extracts one can extend his or her lines several generations past the civil records. In the most extreme case (where all parents and grandparents of the bride and groom are deceased), you can get four generations in one set of processetti --- that's 28 ancestors! Of course, its very rare that one is that lucky. Not all of the parents and grandparents might be deceased (unlucky for you, lucky for them). Some towns did not require all the death extracts, but only those of the parents and the paternal grandfather. Some priests, while preparing the extracts, did not include the names of the decedent's parents. Nevertheless, the processetti are a great resource and should be examined carefully. Keep in mind that the processetti for an ancestor's sibling will be just as valuable for that line.My ancestor was born in 1811, and for the town they do have the processitti records at the LDS...If I'm lucky the marriage record of his parents might be there in 1809 or 1810, that's what I'm looking for when my next film order comes in but past that I have nothing. Got my fingers crossed.
