Hi, I’m researching my ancestry and I believe my grandparents are from Caulonia, I found the ship manifest my grandmother and uncle came on and it listed Caulonia as the place of birth. How can I access the records you have for Caulonia?
Thank you so much for doing this!

In reply to Franchesca. At this time we're just working on extracting the towns we've listed. However anything is possible in the future.

I am researching in Benestare and Bovalino. Any chance those church records will be included?

Thank you Craig. I’m sorry you didn’t get the records you needed from the Church. I guess it’s hit and miss sometimes. Hopefully one day, with enough support and interest this project can be expanded to include more towns.

This is great news. I am excited to learn of this project. I have been reading LDS microfilms of the civil records for Pietrafitta. I have been researching the Cipparrone family. I wrote to the church in Pietrafitta to ask for two records. I wrote the letter in Italian, included details regarding the two ancestors, included a self-addressed envelop and an international postal coupon, and a money order for the church’s offering plate. The money order was cashed, but I never received a reply from the church. I hope the church records in Pietrafitta will appear on your to-do list in the the future. I will donate when my budget allows.

In reply to Ray. Ray, it varies on how many records there are and how far he has to travel, etc. I would need to get a quote and get back to you. Let me know privately if you are interested.

In reply to Nuccia. What is the cost? Judy has a cousin who came through as a 4th cousin DNA match with her aunt. Her family is from San Giovanni in Fiore. We have not been able to make the connection on paper yet. By the way, Sandy, you may know her. Her maiden name is Marra.

In reply to Jason. Thank you for your offer. At this time we have enough volunteers to extract but we will let you know if a spot becomes available. Thanks!
