I haven't done much progress on the Sardinian side, but serendipitously (a post on a Facebook genealogy group) this evening I was able to do quite a lot of progress, 5 generations, on their Sicilian ancestors.
On Geneanet there is a tree, from Francisco Andragnes, reporting Lucia Piacentino , her ...

This is the first time I do a research on someone from Palermo, and I have hit a brick wall, and I was wondering if anyone has some suggestion on how to work around it.

I have used the late Hugh Tornabene's indexes, and the indexes and the ...

I did ask a stato di famiglia certificate to the municipality of Mazara, in Sicily, and they answered me they only started to keep those in 1956.

I am afraid I will have to bring you bad news.

Welcome to IG website

Thanks Adelfio!
