It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Caserta province are:
Barbato, Colella, Conte, Coppola, Corvino, Crisci, D’Angelo, De Lucia, De Rosa, Di Nuzzo, Diana, Esposito, Fabozzi, Farina, Ferrara, Ferraro, Fusco, Gallo, Guida, Iodice, Izzo, Letizia, Lombardi, Marino, Martino, Mastroianni, Merola, Mottola, Natale, Pagano, Palmieri, Papa, Pascarella, Pellegrino, Piccirillo, Piccolo, Piscitelli, Raucci, Ricciardi, Riccio, Romano, Rossi, Russo, Salzillo, Santoro, Schiavone, Tartaglione, Vitale.
Church archives in Caserta province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Teano and Caserta province, you could plan to investigate churches’ archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
For our experience is better to start to search months before your arrival: in this way you will avoid to waste time in the offices and with italian bureaucracy and you will have more free time to visit the town and surroundings on your ancestors footsteps.
Another important source of information is the “Archivio di Stato” (National archive) in Napoli.
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.

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.

Looking for information related to my grandfather Dominico Boragine who arrived May 9th 1921 at Ellis Island along with his sister Rosa. He was listed as 11 Years old, although there is some debate and his birthplace as Teano. He may have been accompanied by an aunt – a Carmela Scialdone who was married to Nicola Boragine.
