trying to find birth record of Rocco Malfa from 1880s

[babbott]

I'm looking for some records (birth/marriage, etc) for my 2nd-great grandfather: Rocco Malfa.

Unfortunately, not a ton is known about him except he was born in 1883 (most likely in Sicily in either Ragusa or Agrigento province) and was married to Giovannina Sigona (marriage date/year unknown) prior to emigrating to the U.S. in July 1907. He died in upstate NY in 1919, so my great-grandmother was young when he died and didn't pass much information on about him, probably because she didn't remember and her mother moved to Los Angeles and remarried.

I searched online records as best as I could at antenati.cultura.gov.it, but without a definite area and specific part of his birthdate, it makes it challenging to try and go through each 'indice annuale' for each province area, as well as several different years in case he lied about his age, and trying to read the illegible writing. Does anyone know of any better ways to search the records or search keywords or is it all mainly a manual research method still?

I found a few 'Malfa' born in 1883 in Ragusa/Agrigento areas but don't think it was him unless by chance Rocco was his middle name and he went by that instead of his first name, in which case did they have middle names/document them on records...perhaps baptism? Anyways any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
