Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No problem. Do you have a copy of your own baptismal certificate? If so, that alone will give mom's maiden name. If not, do you have a copy of either your birth certificate or your immigration paperwork?

There are 60 parishes in the Diocese of Savona-Noli. If you can narrow it down, even a little, from family records or immigration papers, we can get you better contact information. Otherwise, the alternative is to contact one of the monasteries or convents in the region that open their doors to American tourists and pay a nun or monk to help you with your research. It's not inexpensive (they're hungry over there which is why they're opening their doors to tourists), but they are very good researchers. I've had tremendous success hiring nuns to research sacramental records for me.
