Hi There,mjones wrote:Antonina Caracappa (b) Abt 1874 Emigrated to US 1905
Gaspar Sanclimenti (b) Abt 1864 Emigrated to US 1904
I have ships manifests that indicate these two were married and both list their last place of residence as Calatafimi, Sicily.
My question is simple: How do I verify place of birth before requesting Birth Certificates? Is LDS film the only way? or is there anything at all online for Italian Vitals?
Thanks,
Mary

Riccardo, researching from Baptismal records not a good idea?ricbru wrote:Hello Mary,
as you can see, the only birth records avalaible from Calatafimi are those ones of 1912, 1920 and 1926. Just 3 years!!!
So it is better if you contact directly the civil record office of Calatafimi, hoping they have more years of records.

Just wondering...
Wouldn't Baptismal records be "almost" as good as Civil Birth Records to research from?
The baptismal records are available for many many years ....
Registri ecclesiastici, 1534-1910 Chiesa cattolica. (Catholic Church) San Silvestro Papa (Calatafimi, Trapani)
Registri ecclesiastici, 1619-1910 Chiesa cattolica. (Catholic Church) San Giuliano Martire (Calatafimi, Trapani)
Trapani, Calatafimi - Census
Calatafimi (Trapani), 1593-1815 Sicilia.
This seems like a wonderful collection to research from...
