A. In a Comune you can find datas about people currently living there, so you should try first in the city were they were born; or the Comune where your parents were living (registered) when you're brother and sister were born. If your father and your mother were registered in different town, at the time, you have to look where you're mother was registered.

Tracing me family tree back to Sicily... With an Illegitimate birth?
Q. Hello everyone, I'm tracing a part of my family tree back to Sicily and I was hoping someone could help me with a few questions?

I want to know about his immediate family, cousins, aunts, uncles, ect.. When they immigrated to NY, if they did. And what they did for a living and possibly their immediate family. On September 20th I wrote to the "Comune" or the Municipality office asking how I would go about requesting that sort of information. The post office said they letter would take about 10 days to arrive in Sicily and 10 to return. I had some luck and got my letter returned in 6 days, on Sept. 26. They… [cont.]

A. You would and should get a letter saying they cannot. The municipality will need some kind of proof of your lineage even if he's been dead for 46 years. The Italian/Sicilian Comuni/Municipalities do not contact family members that they know are related and they do not give out information on the family to anyone who is not related. You have to prove it.
