I received this information thru e-mails from a researcher but they neglected to provide any reference to specific documents. I have only been able to verify my grandfathers birth (Nicola Guerra 1855 Fossombrone) so this information is critical in tracing back the Guerra line. I have been told that the civil records are not available prior to 1865.
Luigi Guerra B. abt 1777 married Angela Agudi B. abt 1777 in Fossombrone. They had at least 2 children; Raffaele, B. abt 1807 D. 4 Apr 1871 and Ermengilda, B. abt 1817 D. 21 Apr 1883 in Foissombrone. Raffaele married Vittoria Pacini/Paccini 18?? in Fossombrone??. When Raffele died in 1871 he is survived by his "wife and children". Vittoria Pacini/Pacciniwas born in Sorbolongo, a hamlet dependent on the town of Sant'Ippolito Lee

When searching for earlier records, it is best to search in the church records.
Here is the listing of parishes in Fossombrone in the Italian Phone book. You may wish to write to request a record to verify what you have been told.
