Birth Certificate Casumaro, Italy?

[sheck]

I would like to obtain my grandmother's birth certificate.

Place of birth: Casumaro

Date of birth: 1897

I have no idea where / how to start the search.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

I think I read that vital records such as birth, marriage and death records are at churches in Italy. I think you will have to locate the church which houses the records for that area and request them there.

Thank you for the reply.

I did a search and found the following.

Parrocchia Di S.lorenzo
Via Correggio - Casumaro, 6
44042 Cento (FE) - Italy

Thanks!

There are a few years on film 1806 - 1813 with the LDS. You may be able to get civil records from the town for the years after 1870.
You may find this site in English helpful.

I came across this site by accident, but it so happens that I live in Casumaro and I know the priest of the parish very well. If you'd like I could find out about your grandmother. Then again I may know of her myself.

let me know

Either way you can also write to the Uffcio di Stato Civile in Casumaro (www.nonsolocap.it and click on town website after putting it in title) at their MUNICIPIO ADDRESS. go to www.angelfire.com/ok3/pearlsof wisdom/italian-form-letters.html just in case the kindly Collizz can not diclose the information held at the local parish church. Collizz is certainly a wonderful person to come forward and want to assist. We are grateful to him here in NY.

Records are held at the Ufficio di Stato Civile. Church records can also be consulted, but in most cases, only if you need something before the start of the civil records....
