Thanks for all your help but Benedetta is my great grandmother, female and I cannot find any information about her or her parents/siblings. Born 1869 and died circa 1922

Records for Rocca d'Evandro, Caserta are available on FamilySearch.org but must be accessed from a Family History Center or FamilySearch Affiliate Library.

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/264414?availability=Family%20History%20Library

They have births, marriages, and deaths from 1809-1899, along with supporting documentation for several years.

The records are not digitally indexed so must be searched visually year by year (but there is usually an index for each year).

Answer 4

Was she born in Italy? If you know the exact town she came from her birth records (which would have information on her parents) may be available either on FamilySearch or at the Antenati portal.
