Post-1865 Records for Abruzzo, L' Aquila Prov., Sulmona District

[Pblackwood]

Is anyone aware of an online source containing civil or church records for the province/district shown in this subject line? Specifically, I am looking for records for the towns, Villetta Barrea, Civitella Alfedena and Scanno. Based upon other records, I'm pretty certain two of my great-grandparents were born in Villetta Barrea (one maybe in 1877; the other maybe in 1884.) Their 1903 church marriage record in Philadelphia, PA, USA shows only their fathers' names, but not their mothers' names. Their parents' marriages probably occurred after 1865, as well. In addition, both of their last names seem to be very common in this region (Tarquinio and Beniamino.) So, I can't be certain I'm locating the right family in records dated before 1865.

Without this precise information, I am not sure contacting archives or municipal records offices in Italy is worthwhile. Any advice, especially regarding these three towns if you have it, would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately the records on this site do not go beyond 1865 so will not be helful.
You will have to contact the town office. As far as I know there are no on line records after 1865

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I had hoped there was some other way to obtain the information, but was not optimistic and expected I would have to contact the towns directly.
