Gibellina

Hi,

I was looking for a map of Gibellina prior to the 1968 earthquake. I've searched everywhere, but can only find maps of Gibellina Nuova.

Thanks!

Need help translating birth certificate

Can anyone help? I'd like to know the mother's name and what's in the final notes. Anything else would be great and helpful also. :)

Re: DiMattia

Since Gibellina was destroyed by an earthquake in 1968, should I send my comune letter to Gibellina Nuova? If no, where should I send the letter?

Thanks
