Yes thank you I went to Ficarra and searched the records. I hope to go back again sometime, when we are able to fly again so I can search for different records. All the best.

I have them now so its no longer an issue.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to find a reputable genealogist with experience in Sicilian genealogy. I have been conducting research into my family tree for about 5 years using the LDS films. I have a lot of information on my family tree now. But I have numerous dead ends and would like help with these more ...

Great News! I have finally tracked them down. :D Its taken alot of persistence but I am pleased to say Im in contact with my lost family in Argentina. The missing link I needed was a photo that I found in my aunty's old photos.So glad I went through all of them when I visited Sicily last year. The ...

I wish I had the answers but unfortunately I dont as Ive not been at all successful in getting info from Argentina. You could try a guess re death period as I did. But admittedly I knew that my great grandmother was alive until the 1950's b/c she was still writing to my grandfather. So I guessed she ...

Hi Micheles,
Ive found Argentina to be really difficult to find info. You could try writing to the Civil Reg office in Buenos Aires and request a death record. The address is:

Registro civil
Uruguay 753 C.P 1018
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Give them an approximate range of years but no more than 10 ...

Thanks so much, all the best, Lili

Thank you Lucap,
I checked the date and you are right the records start at 1678 (sorry my mistake).
Yes I agree it does look like Vasili. The town of Naso is a nearby hilltop town so I think that's what it might be referring to.
Does the record have any ages for the bride or groom?
Can you read any ...

Hi Everyone,
I was recently in Sicily and visited the Church at Ficarra. I was able to get some photos of some marriage records. The Marriage records there start in 1768. This record is the marriage of Domenico Calabrese. I cant read the date so Im not certain if this Domenico is the one Im looking ...

Oh wow! We arrived in Taormina yesterday. Here for a week but have been in Sicily for 3 weeks now. Its tricky trying to see all the rels..half in Messina, half in Fiumefreddo. Weather is just gorgeous here. I live in Adelaide, South Australia but was born in QLD near Cairns and grew up in NSW. My ...

Hi Zagami,
I think its highly likely that Salvatore and Santo Zagami were related as there were not many Zagami's in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia in the late 1800's to early 1900's. My 2nd great greandfather Santo Zagami was born 15 Dec 1845 in Giampilieri. He died 18 Mar 1922 in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia ...

Thanks Peter, Ive looked at this website before, its really good. Ive sent them an email as they might have some suggestions.I will keep trying to find the info and perhaps others who visit this forum might have had success.

Unfortunately the genealogist I found couldnt find any death records or any information on my great grandmother, Carmela Zagami, who moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1913. She said the main problem is that I dont know who she married in Argentina which means I cant even search for the two ...

I now have read several other records with this name and it seems an error was made on this record. The surname is now appearing as "Lascari". Very different to the first record I read! I guess it just goes to show how important it is to cross check with other records.

Hi Anthony, Just wondering if you got the photos I sent of Paola Morabito's marriage and Francesco Morabito's marriage to Domenica Mondello? Let me know as I have a few others you might like also.
