Records for Roccabascerana, Avellino, are viewable online only when accessing from a Family History Library or one of the affiliate libraries.

Here are the available records (nati=birth, morti=death, matrimoni=marriages) and years.

You can also write directly to the Comune of Roccabascerana to request the birth records.
You will need to write your request in Italian (helpful links below), and send your photo ID and an email address should they need to contact you. Send no money with your request. You may be contacted about fees to cover the costs of copying and mailing. The records themselves are free.

Address:
Ufficio dello Stato Civile
Piazza M. Imbriani
83016 Roccabascerana (AV)
ITALY
