I was wondering how I find out information from Italy, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates? I think I need to write to the church in the town my realtives were from but how do I find the church to write to? I'm trying to connect relatives in Italy to my Great grandfather. I just do not ...

I have a family member by the name Verderamo (Verderan). I'm not sure if this is the same as Vendrame because I'm not quite sure of the spelling of the last name. It seems no one in the family was.
