That's too bad :( Have you tried going directly to ask the local priests ? maybe they have more documents to look at >Oh yes, records from 1811 to 1865 would be perfect! >Where do I find a Family History Center?

Ok, then, you should tell them something like: I'm looking for as much information as possible about parents and close relatives (brothers and sisters) of Biagio Iaconelli (or Jaconelli), born in (here goes the date), in (here goes place), from (here goes father's name) and (here goes mother's name). I particularly would like to know the birth date of his parents. That would enough as a first question. You could ask more later. Fill the voids and post here on the newsgroup a question as above, I'll translate it and post the translation, so you can send it to the Archivio di Stato (it's better if you direct post it). I obviously will help you translating whatever answer you might get :) Ciao for now, Fabio
