Thank you very much, Tessa, I really appreciate it!
I had another question regarding this. On the header of Portale Antenati it states "Stato civile italiano > Sutera Conservato da: Archivio di Stato di Caltanissetta" So, does that mean the Sutera is a town within Caltanissetta?
It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").[3] The area is dominated by a large monolithic rock termed "The Mountain of San Paolino".

On the Feast of San Onofrio, almost all those in the town walk to the top of the mountain, as a pilgrimage to the saints

But who wants to be "typical" when you might be able to trace a lineage into the 1500s or even into the Middle Ages? Because success in this field requires practice and perseverance, as well as skills m...
