Help locating birth records in Enna, Sicily for my Great-Grandparents

Post by lmayer1211 »

I am looking for help locating birth records for both of my great-grandparents in Enna, Sicily. Enna was known as Castrogiovanni during this time.

Great-Grandfather Name: Michelangelo DiMarco (Di Marco)
Date of Birth: October 27, 1887. Have also seen "about 1886 as the year".
Birth Location: Castrogiovanni, Sicily, Italy. Castrogiovanni is now known as Enna.
Father's Name: Angelo
Mother's Name: Giuseppa (Josephine) Lo Manto (Possibly spelled Lomando).

Grand-Grandmother Name: Giuseppa Longi
Date of Birth: There are two dates on official documentation.
October 26, 1896 (death certificate).
October 22, 1897 (naturalization application).
Birth Location: Castrogiovanni, Sicily, Italy. Castrogiovanni is now known as Enna.
Father's Name: Pietro
Mother's Name: Maria Scarugga

I can provide additional information on my great-grandparents if it's helpful. This is the final documentation I'm in need of for my dual-citizenship application.

I would appreciate anyone who can provide any guidance on how to get this information!
