There are 2 Stefano della Camera in there: One born in 1860 from Raffaele della Camera and Vincenza Iannatta, the other born in 1852 from Sebastiano della Camera and Carmina Zaccaro ----- At the nearest family history center you can also check microfilms with Public Registers from 1809 to 1929 (Births, marriages, deaths, miscellaneous documents, marriage documents, citizenship records, supplements (births, banns, marriages, deaths). Some years missing.) ----- You can ask for email for a search in the same acts, but only from 1809 to 1865, at the State Archive of Caserta, email: <[email protected]> ----- You may also want to write to the Commune of Caiazzo Site: <http://www.comune.caiazzo.ce.it/> email: <[email protected]> Hope it helps, Fabio
