Need help finding a town

[Mike Q]

Hi,

My family is from San Valentino Torio, a province of Salerno in the region of Campania. While searching ancestry.com I can get to the campania region but they don't seem to have any records for Salerno or San Valentino Torio. Do you know if any records exist for that town that could assist me with my ancestry search? I have the same problem with other relatives from Catania Sicily. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

There are no online or microfilmed records for the town of San Valentino Torio. You would have to write directly to the town for info-

84010 San Valentino Torio (SA)
Italia

Fax: 081 5186672

Happy to help. Also glad that Marty noticed your reply and found that the Catania province town records are online. Good luck with those.

Edit: there are also church records for three parishes in the town on family search
