locate death records in Sicily
Thanks to A.M. Pili I was able to find my grandfather's birth record. He was born in 1875, in Petralia Sottana, Palermo, Sicilia, Italy.
Now I am trying to locate his death records. He died in Sicily, I believe in 1924, but I do not know where in Sicily. I do know that at least one of his children are buried in Termini Imerse.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

The vast majority of Italian records are not computer indexed. Unfortunately, that means having to search town by town, year by year.
You can always try to start in Termini Imerese. The 1924 death records are on Antenati. The index begins here: https://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/ark:/12657/an_ua36073651/02MXyKX

Thank you very much. I meant to write that I was looking for his father’s death record, my great - grandfather. I reviewed the index you sent me for his name. Unfortunately I did not see his name in it. He must be buried somewhere else. Thank you again, much appreciated

He could have died in Termini Imerese in another year besides 1924. Unfortunately you need something to narrow your search; at this point you are looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thanks again. Can you send me the link to the Termini Imerese database where I can select the year?

Thanks once more. I did find his “Atti di morte” page in Registro 147 page 153. Unfortunately I can’t determine the street name. I was also trying to find the same info for another relative buried in Termini Imerese who died in 1966. Do you have any guidance for death info for 1966? I searched the internet but didn’t find anything after 1960.
