Writing to Italy

[stargazer200529]

I am trying to write a letter to Italy to request my
Great Grandfather's birth certificate
his marriage certificate
his wife's birth certificate
and her mother's death certificate.

This is what I have, please let me know if this makes sense. I have taken a few years of Italian, but I am not fluent.

Cerco informazioni sul mio bisnonno, James Battisto LaGalante nel comune di Casamassima. Lui era nato il 31 Ottobre 1886 e fu un orfano. Sposo' Vita Maria Fortunato nel Febbraio 1907. Maria nata nel Juglio 1895. La sua madre, Cassandra Lusca, e' morta prima della loro nozze.

Vi sarei molto grato poteste spedirmi l'estratto dell'atto di nascita di James LaGalante e Vita Maria Fortunato. Inotre, bisogno di certificato di unione ed il certificato di morte per Cassandra Lusca.

Vi ringrazio in anticipo per la vostra gentilezza e premura.

I always put the individual items in the form of a list so there is not mistake about what I want.

So my Italian makes sense? I was worried about grammar issues.

Did you try the family search films for Casamassima/Province Bari already?

Yes I have searched through their films.

There are two people from Family Search researching the Fortunato name from Casamassima Italy they have some info going back to the late 1700's

I will take a look, I am sure it will be difficult to find a match given that her name is pretty common.

I would still like to get this letter sent, but before I do, I want to make sure my Italian is understandable.

I have had better luck going to the Church than writing to civil comune records Im still waiting on one letter from about 2 months good luck on your quest
