This page is dedicated to Italian records research. It will feature abstracts of civil records from Castellino del Biferno and Celenza sul Trigno, the fertile soil from which my own family tree grows. As my research progresses I will add more lists to this page, so please visit me often to see what's new. If you are interested in learning more about Castellino and Celenza, stay tuned. Soon I will include brief histories of these beautiful hill towns. |

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. -Patrick Henry- |

Welcome to my site. I'm so glad you came. All these lists are abstracts of records microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for their Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. For both towns featured on this site, the microfilmed records span from 1809 through 1910. To abstract is to filter out the "legalese" and distill the data down to the pertinent names, dates and events. It took me almost 4 years to complete the abstractions of the records of Castellino and will take even longer to complete Celenza, as it is larger than Castellino with a larger population. I owe thanks to so many people for the work I have been able to accomplish. First among them are my grandparents, who told me stories about their childhoods and hometowns, which got me interested in my family's history. I am grateful to my parents for teaching me the value of history and how events which happened hundreds of years ago affect our lives today. I am thankful to the staff of the Family History Center in Frontenac MO for guiding me through the ins and outs of microfilm research. My friends Brett, JoE, Sam, Lois will always be valuable for their unselfish encouragement and great ideas. This site is lovingly dedicated to the memory of my mother Geltrude, (1936-2001) whose ancestors are commemorated here. ~~~~~Libby~~~~~ |
