If anyone has any kind of info PLEASE reach out!!

Unfortunately, there are very few records online for Alatri:

You can go through them to see if you find anything.

Alatri was part of the Vatican States and civil records did not begin until 1871. The town still has all its civil records and the parish churches (6 of them) have records going back to 1593. I live about 20 km from there. Its a beautiful town, very historic.

How can I access parish records? I do not speak Italian, nor the dialect and I wouldn't want to cause confusion or be disrespectful. I have an idea what parish they belonged to but I do not know for sure. So unfortunate that everything I need is still papal state dates!
