Santa Severina

[sundance229]

Hi all, both my grandparents were from Santa Severina. Family names were Barone & Sculco and Lorente & ?. I've found records for a lot of other towns, but haven't found any from Santa Severina. If anyone can give me direction in locating any sites where I might find some records for this town it would be greatly appreciated!

You probably won't find records for this comune online yet.
But you have two options:

1 - You can rent and view the microfilmed records of this town at your local LDS/Mormon Family History Center. They have civil registrations microfilms for years 1809-1909 for Santa Severina. (formerly in Catanzaro Province, now in Crotone Province)

Dear Sundance229,

My family, too, is from Santa Severina and our family are also "Barone/Sculco". I am also researching my family.
