Oh my goodness. You are all amazing. Keep it coming! This is the most information that I've ever gotten. My father and my aunts are all aging and no one knows any info anymore. I am going to put together a book of all this information. I want to try and dig back further to family in Italy to see if I still have distant relatives there.

I know there are also some microfilmed records available for this town, as I do recall searching through some of the town's records many years ago. These are available for rental through a local family history center run by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. Anyone can use their libraries and rent the microfilm which is sent to the local center from Salt Lake City. The fee is about $5.50 to rent a roll of film for abt 4 weeks.

There are currently only 4 rolls of microfilm for this town.

Registri dello stato civile di Teggiano (Salerno), 1866-1910

On the website which is www.familysearch.org, you can view the library catalog and also look up the address and phone number for the center closest to your home.

Actually, by that signature....it says De Sio. It turns out my father's handwriting is exactly like my grandfather's, so I'm used to trying to figure out what it says.

Great finds with Nicola and the Carrano's...
