This forum has helped immensely in researching my family heritage. The only documents I now lack to obtain Italian dual citizenship is the certified copies of birth certificates for my Grandfather, Ercole Balilla Soldani and my Grandmother (Ercole's wife) Louisa Bosco. I know that Ercole was born in Castelcivita, Salerno and Louisa was born in Trapani, Trapani, Sicily. Is there an email address for each of these comunes to ask if these records are available? Is there a correct address to mail a request for these documents? How do I pay for these documents? I would include an International Reply Coupon (IRC) with my letter request to cover return postage but I am not sure how payment is made. Any idea how long such requests take? I know these are a lot of questions but any help woiuld be much appreciated!!

My uncle Stasys Lozoraitis 1924-1994(presidential candidate) was married to Daniela D'Ercole in Rome. She also died in 2010. One commentator indicated that D.Ercole family originated from ancient Rome empire senator D.Ercole and the port D.Ercole was called in his honor. Do you know anything about it?
