Hi,
I have found my Great - Grandfather Antonio Alfano his parents (Gennaro and Maria Vincenza) and his siblings (Domenico, Carmela and Anna Maria) when they came through Ellis Island from Saracena Italy. However, i can't find anything on them prior to their arrival here - any suggestions where to look? Thanks!

How do i find more info.?

Hi
You will find very little in the way of online Italian records. But www.familysearch.org has civil records for Saracena for 1809 - 1910. You can order the microfilm and should be able to trace your ancestors.
Good Luck

Do you mean you have actually ordered the microfilm and could not find your ancestors there?

No. I've searched that sight for their names and came up empty. Are you saying I should order the film for Saracena - not just search on their site?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes, you can order the microfilm from a family history center for about $6.00 a roll and view the actual birth, marriage and death records.

To see what films are available first go to the site mentioned above then under LIBRARY up top select CATALOG then PLACE SEARCH then enter the TOWN they came from- part of ITALY.
It will show all films available for that town.
You order the films from you local family history center. To find that go to library again, then FAMILY HIST. CENTER.

Hi BHodge1,
Saw your posts about trying to get info on family in Saracena. My grandfather, Giuseppe Riccio was also from Saracena. I understand it is a very small village.
Did you ever send away for the microfilm? Was it helpful?
