gizzi famiglia

[dragoni]

i could use some help from our italian based researchers to point me in a direction. i have been unable to locate the hometown for my ggm - gizzi. her birth record and her marriage records are in gioia sannitica. other figli birth records are also in gioia. however, the only information about her father and mother identify they were domiciled in gioia, no information about their place of origin. i have looked through all gioia microfilm and there are no other gizzis there - they came form somewhere else but it is not listed. they were there in the 1860-1870 period only.

i would like to order other microfilm but want to do so in a more productive way. any suggestions on other comunes where the gizzi surname may have originated would be helpful.

Here is a site that may be helpful. It will tell you in what towns the surname Gizzi appears. Gioia is in Compania so start there.

Greetings - I have extended family that part of the Gizzi family in Italy. They reside in a small town in Italy called Colliano, it is in the province of Salerno. From what I know, there are a number of Gizzi's in the area. For some reason, the name is used as Gizzo for certain family members.

We are neighbors. My family is from Contursi Terme which is on the next hill. The area has sulfur springs and even a geyser!!!

There are Gizzis in Contursi also.
