I am "Moving" this 'Question' of yours, in the 'Group' being "How to Use FamilySearch Community", in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, to the 'Group' being "Adoption and Unknown Family Research"; so that, the members of that group can answer/assist you.

.

And, I am ALSO "Tagging" this 'Question' of yours to the 'Group' being "Italy Genealogy Research", in the Forum; so that, the members of that group can answer/assist you.

.

The 'Group' being "How to Use FamilySearch Community", in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, is really to do with how to use this Forum, rather for helping/assisting with research.

Thank you Brett. I appreciate your help. I am new to this website!

Although FamilySearch doesn't have records for Donnas, Ancestry does for the period 1866-1939. But you'll need to provide more information, like an estimate range of birth dates. Before 1866 there won't be civil records available; you would have to contact churches in Donnas for records. For births after 1909 they are not public in this database for privacy reasons and you would need to contact the comune of Donnas directly to request a copy.

Thank you. I am more interested in information about my biological mother who was born in 1937. She died in 1992. I know she has a sister and parents (or at least a father).

Can I contact the churches directly? I am only seeing two.

Where do I get contact information for the commune of Donnas?

Appreciate your feedback.

For the 1937 birth record you would have to contact the comune and provide proof of relationship. Contact either the Anagrafe or Stato Civile: http://www.comune.donnas.ao.it/amministrazione/uffici-e-orari/demografico-e-protocollo/

You might also ask for a stato di famiglia storico for her father's family, if it's available.

 

I agree there are only two churches to contact.

I've discovered my biological mother passed away in IVREA, the province of Turin. Do you have the link to the commune there? or churches?

There appear to be five churches in Ivrea:
