Marty - I have only just seen this message! Thank you so much- I shall email tomorrow! So appreciated!
No records for the possible sisters of Italo Aresca - and I can't find any records for them anywhere

Excellent - many thanks

Would this be from the Commune in Mombercelli?

We think he had two sisters - and are having trouble tracking them - Letizia and Enrica - can you advise how we could perhaps find their details?

Sorry - I've just seen your second link - and this is a new one and it says he is their son - so that is excellent that we have that proof! He was my grandmother's cousin and there is such a likeness! The date of birth is different that the one we have - but out by a month!

Many many thanks

Hi - yes we found these last week - but thank you!

We think his parents were Ettore Aresca (1893-1949) and Cristina Vasario (1894-1984) but can't track his birth records - is there a way of finding the records for 1923 online does anyone know?

I have recently discovered a relative of mine - Italo Aresca - was a Partisan and was executed on 23 May 1944 in Vicenzo. I am just wondering if someone has any more information about him - he was only 21 when killed. We know he was born in Mombercelli and thankfully his body was returned there but ...

I'm looking for 'travel records' as well - would most people have travelled by ship does anyone know? My family were from Asti province - as I right this would mean they went form Genoa?

Why is that ?

Thank you Paola - 10 years doesn't seem very long - almost afraid to ask what happens to the remains after then?

Other answer looks interesting - thank you Ann

Does anyone know if there is a database or link to burials - I would like to find the resting place of some family in Mombercelli but have not had a response to my emails to the Diocese for this town.

Thank you for this - the deaths were 1908 and 1914 for son and father respectively, both in Mombercelli - just adds to sadness of it all. I will keep searching

Is there any way for finding out cause of death? The certificates just seem to state date and place of death whereas British certificates always give cause.
My great grandfather died when he was only in his mid thirties and his son was only aged 6 but we are unable to find out what happened.

Thank you very much anyway

Tessa - would it be possible to have a link for the years from 1914 up to 1945 - is that feasible?

Rosalind

Excellent! Thank you
