Working on my GGF Francesco Rocchi, I've come across ten of his children, but I am missing some records for them. Any advice or help on the following would be most appreciated. (Numbers in parrens eg (#4) refer to the # on the Family Group sheet attached.
1. Giulio Rocchi (#4) I can't find the Atti for births in 1868 in Melfi. Is there another source to look at? Any other way to figure out his actual birth date?
2. Laura Rocchi (#5) This Laura must have died before Laura (#7) was born on 24 Dec 1873. So far I haven't been able to find her death record. Any suggestions on where else to look?
3. Laura Rocchi (#7) After her birth, haven't seen any other records. Wondering if she married, had children. How does one search for things like this?
4. Alfredo Rocchi (#8) I've only found his death records, one from Aversa, where he died at age 19 while attending a technical school; and a copy that was sent to Bella...apparently under the assumption that he was born there. Can't find any birth record for him. Any suggestions?
5. Decio Rocchi (#10) His US naturalization paperwork gives his birth date as 23 Jul 1879, but only lists Potenza as his birthplace. Not sure if this means the comune of Potenza or the province. Would like to be able to confirm that Francesco and Angiolina were his parents. Suggestions on where to look?
This community is wonderful, and I appreciate that so many contribute to it. Hoping, once again, that someone can point me in the right directions.
Thanks,
Wayne

In the 1866 birth records for Melfi I located Laura Concetta Rocchi, daughter of Don Francesco Maria Pietro Rocchi and Angiola Maria Farace.

It appears that the year 1868 in Melfie for births was not digitized. Or it has been cataloged under a heading other than births. I found births in a Marriage file.

Tessa78, never thought to do that. Thanks for the suggestion. At least I have somewhere to look.
