Birth and Marriage records

[ccam]

I'm trying to obtain my great grandparents' marriage and birth certificates for citizenship. The naturalization papers indicate they were born in San Lorenzo Palermo. Do I write to the Palermo Comune for the records or somewhere else?

The location is a peripheral part of Palermo that is San Lorenzo Colli,located on the road to Palermo proper Via Giuseppe Mazzini I believe.

In any event, the address to send your request for documents is to the Ufficio di Stato Civile, Viale Lazio #119, stanza 11, 90100, Palermo, Sicily, Italy

Send form letter in Italian for documents fromthe following:

The service is free of charge so just send a self addressed return envelope if you wish. =Peter=

Hi,
depending on date of birth and marriage
is better send a mail directly to :

Ufficio di stato Civile
Piazza Giulio Cesare, 52
90127 Palermo (PA)
Italy

because there the civil records starts from 1820 to today.
Research of certificate will be "manual" and is the only one in palermo where this research is possible. Other office dislocated in Palermo are subsidiary and they done a request to above office for ancient records. Other office works with actuall records.
I hope it help.

Vincenzo

I received my great grandparents' marriage certificate from Italy. However, my request was stamped that they had no record of a birth certificate for my great grandfather. He was born in San Lorenzo Palermo. Is there another location or comune that I can request records? Also, if I wanted to located his baptismal certificate, do I need the name of the Church or is there a main Church where records are kept?

[PeterTimber]

San Lorenzo Colli is located on the Palermo City outskirts and falls under that jurisdiction of Palermo for civil records. There are 126 churches in palermo and you may wish to see if there are any churches associated with San Lorenzo or San Lorenzo Colli by going to www.parrocchie.it and putting in palermo on the right side. =Peter=

Thank you Marcello. I will try that church

[PeterTimber]

Dear CCAM Marcello certainly came to your rescue and made the whole process faster for you. Marcello is an expert for this area of Italy. Just a word of caution about parish priests in Italy. The parish priest has complete control over his church and it used to be advised by the Mormon church 5-7 years ago that a donation of $15.00 would be appropriate to offer as a donation to cover the costs of doing a search for the records you are seeking. Since that time the dollar has declined and I suspect that a donation of $25.00 may be its rough equivalent to offer as a donation.

For your further information should it needs be that you may wish to communicate with the Palermo archdiocese for whatever reason the e-mail address for their historic archives department is archivistorico@diocesipa.it =Peter=
