I mailed a letter to Airola March 15th and got a birth certificate today.

my great-grandmother on my mother's side was Maria Tomminelli, born in Sicily in 1888. Her parents were Michael Tomminelli and Rose Zacco.

She married Vincenzo Algeri, who had a (twin?) brother Sebastiano.

Can someone please direct me where to look? I have birthdates and towns for my grandparents:

Michele Diodato, 1896 in Airola
Teodora Lenora Parrella, 1908 in Montesarchio

his parents were Pasquale Diodato and Antoinette Di Angelo
her parents were (unknown first name) Parrella and Angelina Piza ...
