Hi, the better help is to contact the Prosdocimi in treviso( if he was born in Treviso town and not in some Commons of Treviso province) and for sure this Prosdocimi can help you by search in civil records office: here the address( only a person)
http://www.paginebianche.it/execute.cgi ... c=&x=0&y=0
and this are the addresses of all Prosdocimi in Treviso province:

Dear Maria,

Do you know the birth date of your father? By any chance do you know his parents' names?

And from what your mother is telling you, your father died in 1968, correct?

As Suanj stated, Treviso is both a town and a province. However, you can try to write to the town for his Birth and Death Acts. Here is the address for the town of Treviso.


Ufficio Stato Civile
Comune did Treviso
Via Municipio 16
31100 Treviso TV
ITALY

Here is a link that will help you translate your letter into Italian.

Here is the official link of the town of Treviso.
http://www.comune.treviso.it/

Here is the official link for the Province of Treviso
http://www.provincia.treviso.it/

I hope this helps some.

Dear Maria,

This is great news!!!! With this information you can write to the town and request Gianni birth records especially since you know the name of his parents.

Ufficio Stato Civile
Comune did Treviso
Via Municipio 16
31100 Treviso TV
ITALY

Here is a link that will help you translate your letter into Italian.
http://www.circolocalabrese.org/resourc ... civile.asp

Here is the official link of the town of Treviso.
www.comune.treviso.it/

Here is the official link for the Province of Treviso
www.provincia.treviso.it/

Now I did a search for the name of Roberto in the telephone directory. They could be descendants of Roberto especially if the family kept to the naming pattern of naming their first born male son after the paternal grandfather. Here is that link from PagineBianche Directory.

http://www.paginebianche.it/execute.cgi ... c=&x=0&y=0


Here is a list of the people with the surname Prosdocimo in Italy through PagineBianche telephone directory.

http://www.paginebianche.it/execute.cgi ... =&ind=&nc=


This is a list of Prosdocimo that came to the USA through Ellis Island. Two towns were mentioned from the Treviso area. This could be clues.

Prosdocimo,Matteo - Bigolino, Treviso 1923 22 1901
Prosdocimo,Paolina -Motta di Livenza, Treviso 1923 35 1888
Prosdocimo,Paolina - Treviso, Italy 1911 23 1888

I would still write to the town first with the information you have. Keep us posted as to how you make out.

Smile for me!:)
