Help finding birth records

Post by markardito »

Hello,

I'm looking for my great grandparents birth records from Italy. Ancestry.com does not have them.

I'm wondering if anyone here might know another place to try.

The town is "Palazzo San Gervasio" it is in the prov. "Potenza"

My great grandfather, Guiseppe Ardito, was born in 1868

My great grandmother, Angelina Calabrese, was born in 1877.

Both in the town Palazzo San Gervasio.

Thanks!
Mark

Welcome to the website since Family History Library only has records to the 1860's you can try email to the Archivio di Stato di Potenza and the comune of Palazzo San Gervasio

E-mail: as-pz@beniculturali.it
Comune di Palazzo San Gervasio
comunepalazzo@rete.basilicata.it
Heres a letter asking for birth record and marriage record I saw that first child was Michael was born in 1899 so I ask for the marriage record from 1895-1899. If those birthdates are estimated put circa (about) before those birthdates. I put Guiseppe Ardito father as Michele mother unknown and I put Angelina Calabrese parents unknown if you have there names fill them in as needed
