Looking for info on Perone, DePasquale, Bianco, DeLuca...

[willperone]

I've been trying to get some info in the people in my family around the 1880's before they immigrated to the usa. I'm planning on going to the family history center and looking at some microfilms but figured I would ask if anyone else here shared any of these people as well:

Elia DeLuca (1881-1964 born in Zungoli) married to Antoinette Bianco (b. 1891 in Foggia, daughter of Leonardo & Florence)

Gennaro Perone (b. 1883 I have no idea where in Italy) married to Jilda (Gilda?) DePasquale (b. 1893)

John (probably used Giovanni) Joseph Coppola (d. 1951, son of John & Angelina, don't know where in Italy) married to Theresa Marie Volini (1899-1984 from Castelmazzano, daughter of Joseph & Theresa)

I've been looking all over ancestry.com but nothing's coming up. Thanks in advance!

Was there something specific you were looking for at Ancestry?
Very few Italian databases exist online.....

I was just curious if anyone else had any a tree including those individuals and what the best method is to find out who their parents are. I'm going to the family history center, they claim to have microfilms of some of the places they're from but aside from actually taking a trip to Italy I don't know what else would be a good resource for information.

You can order the record from the county; it might have details on parents for both.

Thanks! I've also found more info on Gennaro Perone, he could have actually been born 1890 and was from Ottaviano, Napoli.
