Have discovered several Chiola's in the area but no idea of relationship. Plan to go there soon & any help would be appreciated.

There does not appear to be any micorfilm of the civil records for Palomonte avilable at yiour nearest Mormon Family History Library so needs be that you may have to write directly to the Uffcio di Stato Civile in Palomonte or write and ask them for the extent of the records for birth, marriages and deaths in their archives.

Go to www.nonsolocap.it and put in Palomonte and when the page is clicked up will come a page for Zpalomnte. The municipal Hall address is listed under Municipio. There is a www.site for the town as well.

You can write or call the 3 businesses named Chiola in Salerno province for any infromation about your family. Go to http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/pearlsofwi ... etter.html for form lettters to potential relatives.

If you wish to write to Palomonte proper then send form letters for documents to http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/pearlsofwi ... tters.html
