I have spent the last six months gathering documents and making a family tree that I feel confident in. I have gathered information and important dates about my great-grandfather, his siblings, and his parents. I will list all this information below. I have found that my family comes from Bagno, L'Aquila. I found a Facebook group in Bagno and posted that I am looking for Scimia's in the area. I got a lot of messages from a lot of different Scimia families; apparently it is a common name in the small village but none could make an exact distinction of if we are related.
What is the best way I can find the Scimia's that I am related to in the village? Is the information I have compiled good enough to present to people in the area and see if there is a connect?
Carmine Scimia, 28 y/o widower married Caterina Centi, 28 y/o on 6 February 1890.
From the Act of Marriage, I learned that Carmine’s parents were: Giacinto (deceased) and Rosa Biasini. Caterina’s parents were: Costantino and Anna Salvi, both deceased.
Carmine Scimia and Caterina Centi had the following children:
-Emidio born at 3pm on 24 Nov 1890
-Antonio born at 3.20pm on 24 Nov 1890. Unfortunately, Antonio died on 6 Dec 1890.
-Giacinto Scimia on 14 October 1892.
-Antonio Scimia (named after the baby boy that died) on 3 Mar 1895 (This was my great-grandfather).
-Berardino Scimia on 8 May 1897.
-Giuseppe Scimia on 16 July 1899.
-Rosa Scimia on 17 August 1901.
-Giovanna Scimia on 11 March 1904.
All of the children were born at Via Centrale, 10, Bagno, Province of L'Aquila, Italy
-Emidio married a woman from Italy, something happened in which their marriage ended, he moved to the US and married an American woman and all of his descendants live in the USA.
-Giacinto married Maria Paolucci on 13 June 1920.
-Antonio married a woman from the USA and I am his descendant.
-Berardino married Luisa Ercole on 6 June 1920.
-Giuseppe married Isolina/Isola Scopano on 16 February 1930.
-Rosa married Alfredo Scimia on 15 August 1923.
-Giovanna married Antonio Scopano on 12 December 1931.
This was all the information I could find on the available archives on FamilySearch and Antenati.
Any tips, insight or advice would be appreciated!

I think it's accurate enough for someone who is related to reply.
