Hi
I am looking for my grandparents birth certificates and their marriage certificates.
I have tried to contact the municiply a few times via email and I have written. I have also tried to search for them but I can not find their information. If anyone could help. I would really appreciate it. I am trying to obtain them to apply for my citizenship but also because I am just so interested in my family history.
They were both born and got married in Foggia Puglia.
Grandfather - Giuseppe Contestabile 24th December 1922
Grandmother - Raffaela Contestabile ( previously Foglio) 8th March 1928
Married in Foggia 10th November 1951
They moved to the UK in 1951/1952
I believe my grandfather was also in the army during WW2
Giuseppe's parents (my great grandparents were Raffaele and Rachele Contestabile)
Raffaela's parents ( my great grandparents were Pasquale and Michela Foglio)
Thank you so much

Re: Grandparents birth and marriage certificates
Ciao Lucia,
Unfortunately both birth and marriage online records for Foggia stop in 1899.
With your requests to the comune di Foggia did you remember to attach a copy of your identity document?
Some comuni don’t take into consideration a request if you don’t.
