I am trying to identify the name and address of the public cemetary in Martina Franca (TA) (Puglia) where my grandparents and other D'Oria relatives are interred. Can anyone help me?

Here's the city's official website. You might want to email a request to see if they will help. Email address is at the bottom of the main page.

My Italian's not the best, but here's a possible email.

Hello,
My grandparents and those before are from Italy. I remember the town Martina Franco would come up in conversations. My grandfather was Martin Lodeserto. He married Mary Pallotta. How would I start searching their family? I am doing a family tree and I would love to find distant relatives.

Oh my goodness! Thank you! Yes, the dates of his birth does match. My mother's birth certificate is Maria Stella ( must be named after her grandmother then). This is so exciting!

You're welcome!
