You can find birth (Nati) records for San Fele here:

https://familysearch.org/search/image/i ... %3D1483052

Unfortunately there seem to be no indexes, so I think you will have to go through all the pages (about 350 images for the two years...)

This is great!!! Thank you so much! And so quickly you found that.

I do have the marriage cert of Sebastiano and Maria Romano and I have Sebastiano's death cert. But this is new and so great. Now if only I read Italian.

I am planning a trip to San Fele next summer and I actually have a street name.

I only know of Rosa Santoro as Pietroangelo's wife on his marriage cert but maybe she was the stepmother and R. de Maio died young? This is getting more interesting all of the time

Do you know of any siblings of Sebastiano Lorenzo?
Was Mary Mariniello (married name) his sister on the draft registration card?

Thanks for the registration card. I am not sure if this is the same Sabastiano. WOuldn't his wife be listed as relative? Also the birth month is February same as the other Sebastiano that you all found

It lists his age as 38 and he died at 39 of what looks like heart complications. Hmmm

On a side note, another website wants to charge me $30 for looking up what you found very quickly. They said

"to go on with the research we need dates as more exact as you can.
To search for Sebastiano birth record is difficult without an exact date.
The documents are handwritten and there is not an electronic database to search in.
It means to search page by page every paper for 1-2 (?) years"

I didn't pay them but obviously there is a way to find scanned info. Do you think they are not able to find these records online- I want to give them the benefit of the doubt but I wonder if they are doing a diservice? You are great. Thanks!

this is no your ancestor.. this other Sebastiano Lorenzo was born really in San fele but on 16 feb 1879 (no 1880 as he declared on WWI draft registration card)...
I believe that marty found your Sebastiano birth act..
