Baptism certif. and school record needed from Salina, Eolie

[michael.mandile]

Need a Baptism certificate and/or school record of attendance for my Great Grandfather who was born in 1870 in the town of Malfa on the island of Salina in the Eolie. Can someone tell me how to proceed? I heard there is a guy in the town who is a kind of archivist/historian who may be able to help. Does anyone know his name, email address, phone number? I think he works in the library there. Grazie!

There are several schools in Malfa from grammar school to High level schools in Malfa. Go to www.nonsolocap.it and select Sicily, then Messina and then Malfa. Scroll down to Malfa schools for names and addresses for each of the schools in malfa. If you know which school or at what level (Primaria, secondaria etc) thenyou may wish to write directly to the school but the reason why I suggested writing to the Mayor of Malfa is that the school records may be either kept in each school or archived all together. =Peter=
