I'm looking for information on my Grandfather, James Vincent Peluso, born in Sant Angelo a Scala, Avellino, who moved to the USA as a teen right around 1900. His sister, Rose was the last known living relative in that area. If anyone might know of this family or how I might find documentation from local officials, I would be most thankful to hear from you.

You could always try this website:

FamilySearch.org - Family History and Genealogy Records

I found some information about some of my family members there.

Yes, that is a great site. I have been able to rent microfilms with birth, marriage, and death records from several towns in Italy from them.

Just click on Library, then Library Catalog, and you can do a Place Search for the town you are interested in.

I searched for Sant'Angelo a Scala in Avellino
and they have the births, marriages, and deaths from 1809 through 1899 on four microfilms.
