Hello,
I am trying to research the genealogy of the Schettino family of Pescopagano (Potenza). This is my wife's family, and she really knows nothing about her history. Her father is Gerardo (Erminagildo) Schettino. His mother was Maria Giovanna Schettino, who died in 2000 or 2001. Gerardo's surname was his mother's maiden name. He is either uncertain of who his father was, or is unwilling to tell.
I am usually pretty good at building out a family line, but this line was me stumped. Any advice? I am in contact with the family over there, but they kinda stay silent on the subject. I don't want to offend them, but would certainly like to help my wife with her genealogy.
Thank you in advance for any advice...
Patrick

Re: Schettino family of Pescopagano
If you are certain the birthplace is Pescopagano, you or your wife can write/email and request birth and/or marriage certificates. See this thread ( http://italiangenealogy.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=15162/ )and these sites for information on how to do that:

Re: Schettino family of Pescopagano
My name is Frank Schettino and I see that we are having the same difficulty in researching family history in Pescopagno - My grandparents are Francesco & Maria (nee: Buldo) and my father is Miguel (Michael) my other Aunts and Uncles are Rosa, Ida, Filomena, Edgierio & Canio. My Grandfather died when my father was only 16 all I know is that he was the town butcher. Any information on the above is greatly appreciated I would love to fill in the missing pieces of my family tree.
