Thanks for your thanks. Something else I found useful for my Arnaboldi, was family search.org where you will find a considerable number of GIOIA's. The Italian section is very useful as it tells you were ancestors with the same name were born up to 150 years ago (helps to research where I might have come from) and I am sure you know of the site which will tell you all about the people in Italy with the same name today - including their addresses and phone numbers. Incidentally, I did look at the Albino first names, to see if there was a father who had given his christian name to his son, but I drew a blank. Happy hunting. The birth cert for the eldest child is clearly a must have. Best wishes. Brian.
