Here is some additional guidance for records in the province of Agrigento . Again, these are incomplete but will help the researchers a tiny bit.

It is my pleasure Marty. What is the point of making the discoveries if they are not shared? Hopefully I may be of some help to others. Regards, Louis

Helpful but not exactly. What I would like is a good quality map with the parish name and the actual boundary. And, while we are on the topic, I am also looking for a detailed map of Sicily where I can zoom in to each province (with boundary) and each individual comune, with name and boundary. I ...

To James Bianco ... I have revisted the link you gave for the maps and unfortunately it is now dead. Do you know of a replacement? Thanks, Louis

A little more help on locating a relative in the area, and a trick or two.

I was able to locate the index entry for the birth record of my grandfather on image 7 in “Italy, Agrigento, Agrigento, Civil Registration (Tribunale), 1866-1910, Realmonte, Indici decennali (matrimoni, morti, nati) 1876 ...

Typo correction. For 1874, in Registro di Matrimoni, Realmonte, the entry, should read as follows:

Registro 1874 97 139
Indici 1874 97 156

You are welcome Marty. I have found a typo or two (on my part) that I will correct in short order. More to come! Louis

Similarly, for Porto Empedole:

As of March 2012 the Family Search web has posted records for the Sicilian provence of Agregento, Italy, under the heading "Italy, Agrigento, Agrigento, Civil Registration (Tribunale), 1866-1910". This is a bit of a misnomer since it is not just for the city of Agrigento in the provence of Agrigento ...

Thanks! I'll go over this in the next few days. Ciao. Louis

The only thing worse than my Italian is my Sicilian! However, if you use very short sentences I may be able to understand, at least with the help of Google translate. So give it a try and I will try not to embarass myself. Enjoy your holiday! Godetevi la vostra vacanza!

Let us try to unwind this a little bit at a time.

1. What is the symbol at the beginning of many of the entries that looks like a lower case "p"? What does it mean? I treat it like "Io" in Italian or "I" in English. Is this correct?
2. Older "matrimoni" entries take the form where the female is ...

First let me thank you. Then let me agree with you. I am EXTREMELY lucky. It is almost unimaginable that I have been able to trace my ancestry this far back. Let me review what you have written and let us see if I can formulate a reasonably intellegent response! Louis

I'm having a bit of difficult figuring out the attached Registro Matrimoni for a Benedetto Cavaleri. Any help would be much appreciated.

Of course every time I try to upload an attchment I do something wrong. So here is the URL.
