  1. Hello, I am looking for information no my great great grandmother Irena D’Ambrosio. I am trying to find her Birth Certificate. I believe she was born on September 5, 1869. Would you be able to help me with that information?

    thank you.

  2. My name is Michael Ficca and I am looking for relations to my great grandfather Camillo B. Ficca, born in Torricello Peligna in 1852. His son was Nicholas Sargeant Ficca born in Torricello Peligna in about 1888.
    I live in USA and will visit Italy in 2017. Thank you

  3. Hello, could you advise how I could find the marriage certificate/record for my great-grandparents, Nicola Teti & Felicia DiMarino who were married in 1886 in Torricella Peligna? Thank you.

  4. Hello Edward,
    scanned images of marriage records are available online on the Antenati portal ( http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/ ), if you need official sealed certificates you have to send a written request to the municipality office in Torricella. If you need assistance with this or for further research please do not hesitate to contact us using the contact details on this website.
    Thank you

  5. I would like to know for sure if my Grandmother and Grandfather were both born in in Torricella. My Grandmother (Guvena D’Ulisse) was born in the year 1885 and came to the USA in the year of 1904. Other than that I know nothing else about her.

    My Grandfather was born in 1865 – 1864 not sure of the year and his name was Dominic DiLuzio. Don’t know when he came to the USA but we know he sent for my Grandmother to come to the USA and he paid her way.

    I’m not 100% sure that they both came from this Village. Through “23 And Me” and looking at the background of other relatives, I settled on this village as where they came from.

  6. I just inquired about Vincenza Teti and Nicola De(i)Stefano. Vincenza being from Torricella Peligna
    Parents names of Vincenza: Thomas and Domenica Teti
    Parents name of Nicola: Peter & Louisetta De(i)Stefano

  7. Hello

  8. Hello

    Grazie

  9. Hello,
    I am creating a family tree and trying to verify some information.

    I am trying to track down information about Madalenna DiLuzio who was married to Francesco Teti and Anna DiLuzio who was married to Orazio Teti. (Not sure if this is accurate but it’s coming up on my ancestry family tree)

    There is also an Emedio DiLuzio born in 1851 and married to Catarina Montanari. I am not sure what town Emidio is from but his wife is from Teramo.

    My husband is a Teti and my mother is a DiLuzio. I am trying to make the connection to see if Madalenna and/or Anna (married to Teti) are related to Emidio DiLuzio. He is where my grandfather’s tree starts on the DiLuzio side and I cannot locate any information on his parents.

    Thank you
