Hi Daizi

Have you looked on familysearch there are a lot of Masci on the site, its quite difficult to search on line (Ive been trying to find my elusive Italian ggrandfather for 6 years) If you can find out the place they were born you can then write or in some cases email the City Hall.

If you would like any assitance let me know I think I know all the Italian sites now LOL.
