All the links that you mentioned are for years 1900 and before. My Nicolo Puma was born in 1901. Therefore, any Nicolo Puma's that are found for the years before he was born would not be him.

Thank you. He must have died young before the 1901 Nicolo Puma was born. It's sad how often that happened. Did you find that record at a Mormon Family History Center. Normally you have to send to Utah or contact the specific Italian town to obtain that type of record (and most Italian towns send you a form, not the record even when you specifically ask for the record). To my knowledge, you can't find them anywhere else. If you can, please let me know.
I goofed. That was a marriage record you sent, not a birth record. I still very much appreciate that. I had the date through an Italian form, but I prefer records over forms.
I sent Nicolo Puma's birth record if you look back on the posts there are alot of recordsdeath birth marriage of Racalmuto on the universal subscription on ancestry.com thats has all the countries here is the daughter of Giuesppe Puma and Francesca Curto from the Racalmuto Agrigento, Sicily, Italy, Civil Registration Records, 1844-1911

Marty, are these "Racalmuto' records found by looking at the hints shown by Ancestry.com for specific people on my family tree or is there a path through Ancestry.com where all the Racalmuto records in the Italian language for all people (whether on my tree or not) are stored together for anyone to review? I've never once found such a record looking at people hints on Ancestry.com. If there is a path to get to these records, please tell me what it is and I will take out a one month subscription to find them. I can get a lot done, being retired, with a one month subscription (the last time I found 5,000 new people for my tree).
Go to search/card catalog/write in title italy/ then scroll down to Agrigento, Sicily, Italy, Civil Registration Records, 1844-1911 (in Italian) then enter Agrigento in Province then Locality Racalmuto
