Thanks. The handwriting isn't easy on this one even at high resolution.

#79 Salvatore Petrisi
December 5, 1895, at commune offices in Militelli Rosmarino appeared Nunzio Petrisi, age 23, miller, who declared that at 6 a.m. on December 1 from his union with Marianna Brancatelli, unmarried, homemaker, domiciled in Militello, who also appeared for the declaration, a male child was born who was presented to me and who was given the name of Salvatore.

rentlady,

Family Search has records for Militello dating as far back as 1569. Some are online, and some are available through their FHCs.

I recall seeing old Riveli records for Militello when I was researching a nearby town at a local FHC.

I believe some church records, dating back to the 1700s, are available online, as well as more recent civil records.

Thank you! What is FHC? Sorry I don’t know that. I would love to look at any church records. I k ow when I looked through all the images on family search that 1901 seems to be missing and that is the year my grandfather was born there in Militello.
Thank you again. Cathy

I don't know about practices during the pandemic, but when open you can use their computers to access records online which aren't available from home. Some may also have records on microfilm.

You can see what's available at familysearch.org. Registration is free.

For example, records for these churches can be accessed online from home:

Italy, Catania, Diocesi d...Church Records, 1502-1942

Militello

Parish

San Nicolò e SS. Salvatore
Santa Maria della Stella

I was searching a nearby town named Melilli in the Riveli records when I stumbled upon Militello. For Riveli you'd have to visit a local FHC, but civil and church records appear accessible online from home.
