Searching for lost Italian ancestors

[AjaraNight]

Hello-
I've been stuck in my Family Tree for some time on my grandmother's family. Most of my grandmother's siblings were born in Massachusetts, USA including my grandmother. Her 3 brothers and two parents are difficult to find in Sicily Italy.
Her father Lorenzo Nicholesi born about 1880 died in 1931 in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA. No birth certificates are found but his parent's names are Bartoni Nicholesi and Mary C? from Sicily Italy.
Her brothers are Joseph Nicholesi born about 1907, Anothony born about 1909 and Colie about 1910/11 and they arrived about 1910 to America.
My grandmother's mother's name was Mary or Maria Sicola (?) born about 1884-1886 in Sicily and died 1966 in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA. Mary/Maria's parents are Tony Sicola and Sabella Spinelli from Sicily.
I know Colie Nicholesi went back to Italy as an adult but know nothing more about him.
Any help on where to locate some missing information or records would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I think this is most likely your family. Some of the names don't match perfectly but I suspect either they were changed or they used middle names. You'll want a marriage record and birth records to confirm. Records for this town are currently restricted to LDS family history centers for the years that you need. I am going to one next week if someone doesn't help more before then.
