  2. I am trying to locate my Grandfather’s Birth certificate and have not been successful. His name was Giuseppe DiFusco (could have been DeFusco) and believed to have been born March 1888 in Villa di Briano. I have written twice to the City Hall in Villa di Briano and have not received anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I believe his father’s name was Francesco and his mother Maria Antonia Rapperano.
    Thanks You
