Ok this is my first time using this site wish me luck..... My Grandfather was Cosmo Russi who lived in Apraise, Campania, Bemevento Italy. I believe his parents were Antonio and Maria. Cosmo Russi was born 03 Feb 1886 (could be 1885).
I am looking any information on my Grandfather's family.
Many Thanks
Marge

The Family history Center has the civil records for Arpaise from 1809 to 1860. Unfortunately, your grandfather was born after that. However, the records of his father's birth and marriage should be there. If you know his mother's maiden name, you could find her as well.

For your knowledge, the town or comune is Arpaise, the province is Benevento, and the region is Campania.

By the way, the name Rossi is very common in Arpaise, not Russi. But there are some Russi in the town of Benevento.

Thank you wldspirit and misbris.
I send out the letter yesterday. Now all I have to do is wait.
I am also looking at the family search website, hoping maybe I would find something there.
Tks again and will let you know when I hear back from Italy.

Keep us posted, we love updates!!
The microfilm information provided by Misbris is a wonderful resource,
even if limited to the finding of only one or two records, those records contain a wealth of information. Something to consider.
