Recently a site came online for the Trentino records:
While the site is mostly under construction, it does have searchable birth records for 1815-1923. I was able to find family births on here, and more importantly, where the records are. Turns out that the Church the family used was in Tavodo, a nearby village! With this information, I am able to order microfilm from the Family History Library that go all the way back to 1523!
I am slowly picking my way through the records, but have found everybody and am moving slowly backwards. I will be posting a lot of goodies soon.
To see where everybody came from, I have created a Google Map with key towns noted. You can access it here: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=209706965284535003811.0004cf210637e110edca7&msa=0&ll=45.844108,11.678467&spn=4.285862,6.102905
So far:
Premione: Village where the Parisi family lived and emigrated from
Tavodo: Village where their Church was (S. Maria Assunta) and where the records were kept
Seo: Nearby village where the Morelli family was from
