Are you looking for an Italian surname? Do you need more information about your family heritage?
This is the right place to start your genealogy search.
Archivio di stato (state archive) is the office where all documents are stored (birth, married, death, military records and so on).
"Ufficiale di Stato Civile / Anagrafe" is the clerk officer of the city hall responsible of vital records. In a little town like Sciara (2.400 citizens) it is possible that "archivio di Stato" and "Vital records" are in the same office.
The correct address is :
Ufficio Anagrafe
piazza Castel Reale
90020 Sciara (PA)
Italy
I'm searching lost relatives and descendant of my greatgrandfather Vincenzo Genualdi (or Gennaldi or Genuardi) and my greatgrandmother Concetta Davola (their sons: Angela, Carmela, Antonio, Bartolomeo, Ernesto, Simone, Riccardo, Maria) went in Chicago,Ill., and New Orleans, in 1880-1920 from Sicily. Other family related : Jacobucci or Jacopucci (from Central Italy).
I have another question - If I know the year of birth for my relative,
but not the death (since they died after 1910), will the city hall clerk
still be able to suppy me with a death certificate?
it is possible (this is what i do for my genealogical tree) but it depend if you have exactly name of his parents and a possible date of death (for example 1910-1920) . I don't know if Civil records in Sciara are indexed (maybe is an old book) but it is a very small town and if city hall clerk have time to dedicate to you , he'll find your relatives. You can try ...
if you have another question ......
best regards

I do know the exact names of parents to the majority of my
Sciara families. Your example (1910-1920) makes good sense.
I have to bug you with another question please –
Regarding my parental great-great-grandfather: I know who
his parents were but do not know if he had any siblings.
How would I find this out?
[align=justify]the only way to know if they had siblings is a "sequential" search in birth records done by clerk . I requested this certificate of birth in some small town but i send the name of the parents and their date of birth or other informations, asking if it possible to search siblings of this married couple in a range of years (from marriage to next 30 years for example).
I hope you find a hopefully clerk in Sciara, like i found him in the past, who answer to your questions (better in italian).
if you have another question .....
have a nice day [/align]

One of the most fun things that I discovered in my research was finding my look alike ancestor, Prince Marino Caracciolo II. Don Marino descends from the Caracciolo Rossi family, one of the oldest families in Naples, that date back to 950 AD. He was born in Atripalda on 9-6-1587 and died in Naples o...
