Hi Linda
If you send me a copy of the microfilm of the marraige maye I can tell you who Luca Rosato is. No charge!
The only way to get a marriage act for the period before 1809 is to write to the church. From experience I can tell you that most priests here are too busy to do much in the way of research unless they have a personal interest. You ask for one piece of information and they give it. Then you have to write again for the next piece. They soon lose interest. The parish records rarely give as much information as the civil records and they are written in Latin. They will not send a photocopy.
I will be doing some research in Pastena and IF the parish records have survived could do some look ups for you. If you are interested in a quote please email me at atatangelo@hotmail.com. Either way do send the marriage document for an opinion,
Ann
