I would be so so grateful.  I have come to a dead end.  This is the last uncharted part of my wonderful Italian tree.  When I saw your post I thought wow....this could be the start of something Schio

Hello Steve,
Is it possible to obtain copies of a person's military records - i.e. for someone who might have served in the First World War?  Thank you.

Might be possible
Let me have details.

Hi Steve - just wondering if you might have heard anything from the Town Halls in Rome re the marriage in 1926 of Kathleen Marie Short and Giulio Silvio Grizi?  Many thanks, Nina

Hi Steve, wondering if you'd be so kind as to help me. I am looking for a Francesca Todaro who was born in Villa San Giovanni, Reggio Calabria on 2nd April 1926. Francesca married a Gilbey in 1947 and came to England. She died last year here in England. Would love to know parents or siblings if that's possible? I've researched Ancestry and other websites with no joy.

Many thanks.

No problem, have sent an e-mail to the Villa San Giovanni.

Trevthecat,
Presume its you.
DE FILIPPIS, A  WWI Service Records doctor in Italian Forces.
The Florence Archives have replied and said we need a date of Birth.  With that info I can write to the Military Authorities for his  record. They also say if he wasa doctor he would have been an officer in the army.

schio,
Not heard from anyone yet, but there have been a couple of months campaigns for local elections, now finished.  Give them a weeek and then will remind them.
