How to determine parish of a town in Italy?

[jrd01]

Hello, is there anyway to determine Turi, Bari Italy's parish?

I'm at a dead end trying to find a birth certificate for Cosmo Vito Decarolis born in 1791 [Turi, Bari, Italy].

Would contacting the comune of Turi help?

Thank you!

Parrocchia Maria SS Ausiliatrice, Telefono: 080.8915683.(From abroad call 0039808915683). Indirizzo: Via Ten. Notarnicola n. 56, 70010 Turi Italia. . The comune will and can not help you because the date is before the start of the Stato Civile (1809).

There are Diversi records for 1812 available online, but you can only view them while at a Family History Center or an affiliated library. These Diversi may contain the allegati of marriage (attachments) which will include the baptism of Vito Cosmo and Vita Lucia.

You could look for death records for those born before 1809. That will take you back another generation.

As Ann stated, the death acts bring us another generation back

Here is the death act for Antonia Cassotta (mother of Vito Cosmo de Carolis) on 30 December 1829

#124

She was born in TURI to deceased Vitantonio Cassotta and deceased Petronilla Colapinto.

The Diversi records of 1812 only had 2 records. The death record of Nicola Valentini and the death record of Vitantonio di Zella.
