Does anyone have any suggestions for searching the Antenati website? I have ancestors from the Marche region. More specifically Castro, Montegallo, Ascoli Piceno. I can get to the information for the Province of Ascoli Piceno, but can't figure which "Parrochia" I want to look at. I know the name of the little church in Castro (see attached), but so far that hasn't helped. I even looked up each of the Parrochia's on a map to see which was nearest Castro but no luck there either. PS I've used the link through FS, too.

It's possible that Antenati doesn't have the records for the parish. They only seem to have records from 30 parishes within Ascoli Piceno. If they're not on Antenati or on FamilySearch, your best bet would be to contact the parish and ask if they have the records and ask if they'd be willing to do a look-up for you, or plan a genealogical vacation to Castro 😄
I found some contact information at: http://www.terredelpiceno.it/monumenti/chiesa-di-san-michele-arcangelo-montegallo/?lang=en

I feel silly that it didn't occur to me that the Castro parish wasn't digitized! Somehow I thought that all of the parishes were being digitized. Do you know if they are still digitizing? Any chance it will come up in the near future? In any event, thank you so much for the wonderful article on the castro church, Lauren. I will definately add it to my files. Grazie mille.0

Unfortunately, it varies from parish to parish, but as more parish records are put online, hopefully your ancestors' parish priest/archivist will be inspired to follow suit!
