Anybody from near Portogruaro Venice?

Post by Ben Crowden »

I've just found out that my great-grandmother was born in Portogruaro. I'm told my family lived in a small comune/hamlet called Lifore. Has anyone heard of this? I can't find it online but I'd love to know more as it might help with finding more records, maybe even a burial site?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,
I suspect that "Lifore" is in fact Lison an hamlet in the municipality of Portogruaro which has been an autonomous parish since the 16th century. The long s is often confused with an "f".
If the act you're searching is post-1871 you can probably find it here:

For earlier generations there are the church records.
