I am seeking a birth certificate for my grandfather Pietro Lepre born in Teano in 1880. His wife Carolina (Ferrara) Lepre born in Teano in 1882 and their first child Vincenza Lepre born in Teano in 1908. I will need these documents in order to apply for dual citizenship.
My grandfather, Raffaele Mottola, was born in Teano on 23 February 1885. On 28 October 1913, he left Napoli on the steamship Stampalia to join his brothers Vincenzo and Francesco Mottola in Philadelphia, Pennsylania, USA. He was joined at a later date by his wife Colomba (born in Italy about 1887) and his daughter Filomina (born in Italy about 1910).
Any information you can provide on these or any other family members would be greatly appreciated.
