Looking for more information about my great grandmother Chiara Stella Tamborra born in Terlizzi in later 1800 married to Francesco DÉlia. They had two sons Vincenzo and Michele. Does any one have a connection they can share with me.

Thanks for that ... I have family in Capurso as well, my grandfather Pasquale Guerra. Son of Raffaele Guerra and Maria Scarpelli.

Lygon Street [Little Italy] in Melbourne is where I live ... small world.

Hi I will take the Colella surname.

I have some Rubino's from Puglia not necessarily Bari.

They are Francesco Rubino and his daughter Cesaria Rubino [1668-1712]. Your relation must be related somewhere but you need to look for the name Giuseppi ... this name is a traditional name in Puglia. It would never have been Joseph in English ...

Try Lino as well especially if they are using nicknames and not full names.

Pasquale is Patrick in English but in Italy an abbreviation for Pasquale is always Lino.

I am looking for help with the above surnames from Puglia region initially. Can any one help please.
