Hi Vincent, In regards to your comment about deaths, the information on the death certificate - you are correct, there is more information, but on the church registers you normally only get, for instance, Antonio age 5 years son of Ignazio Gatt or whoever and the date of death. So it can be interesting to have the death dates, sometimes it shows a pattern if there are many infant deaths in one family, or if you want to find out if a man is continuing to have children but his wife has a new name and then you check the deaths to see if the first wife died but generally there is no more information that you are gleaning from the deaths recorded in the church registers. At least not in my research.
All the best
