Peter,
thanks for the input. I got some new information on my grandmother from a cousin, so I'm going to try the Allen County Library here in Fort Wayne to start.

The family history library of the mormon church is the locale where you can order and rent the appropriate microfilm of civil records from the town of origin in Italy in order to trace your family connections back to the early 1800's. Peter

Since you decided to obtain the microfilm, please bring along a magnifying glass and perhaps a dictionary for words that you may not be familiar with. REemeber these micorfilms are documents written in italian script and only go up to 1910 usually since Italy privacy act does not permit anything after that date to be published. Peter
