If you provide names and approximate years of birth, marriage, or death, we can help in your search.

Some records can be found here, and some need to be viewed while at an LDS Family History Center.

For example...here is the marriage of a Salvatore Giacomo Morano and Domenica Veronica Lampasi n 1910 on 23 December in Monterosso Calabro.

For reference...

Here is the birth act of Domenico Antonio Morano in 1893
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cat=746166

Online records before 1863 for Monterosso must be viewed at a Family History center or affiliated library.

I searched records from 1876 through 1893 (some years are missing) for a marriage for Francesco and Lucrezia, but without success.

Thank you, I didn’t have that one, he passed a year later. I’ll have to have it translated.
