Thanks Nuccia,

My Grandfather was born in Bianco in 1915. His name was Francesco Antonio Misiti.

Do you know if there are any records from 1915? Also 1916?

Thank you so much for your help.

I think there aren't any films available for the years you need - I believe the LDS stopped filming in 1910. But you could always write to the Comune of Bianco for the the records you are looking for. You should be able to get them.

Use the Italian Form letter found here:

La pagina del forum del comune di Grotteria non funziona.

Sto ancora lavorando a Grotteria quindi mi dispiace che non sarà finita per un po '. C'è qualcosa in particolare che cercavi?

Are you sure of the spelling for Misiti? The more common name that I have seen in my review of many of the Family History Library microfilms for this area (that include Bianco) is Mesiti.

Carm - I think you're right. The spelling I've seen is also MESITI.
