Contacting Italian towns for civil records

Is there a link listing all Italian towns and how to contact their civil office to get birth, marriage, and death records. I'm hoping to contact them through email rather than through the Post Office. Right now, I'm looking to contact the city of Altamura in Bari, Puglia, Italy.

Re: Find Death Record

Family Search has death records for Altamura from 1901 to 1929. I could not find a death record for her there. Plus thanks for the birth record.

I also have not been able to find any children for her nor any children for her husband's (Domenico Lorusso) second wife Laura Miglionico.

Finding Unrelated People Quickly on a Large Family Tree

I have a family tree on Ancestry.com that has over 73,000 people on it. Ancestry.com presents hints many different ways which can sometimes lead to adding an unrelated person to a family tree. To my knowledge, Ancestry.com has no quick way to find unrelated persons on a family tree. However ...

Re: FamilySearch

The reason for the problem is that Family Search is a Mormon website. Mormons believe that unless baptized into the Mormon church, deceased people will be barred from entering heaven. Mormons also believe that they can baptize deceased people into the Mormon Church and thus enable them to enter ...

Re: Antenati

I copy and paste it to Paint. Next trim it to just the record itself on Paint. Finally, I save and file it as a JPEG photo (photo format default is PNG which is not as transferrable as JPEG to other websites such as Ancestry.com, plus there are other photo formats to choose from). You can also print ...

Re: Looking for descendants of opera singer Salvatore Puma

These Puma brothers are third cousins of mine. I have no idea if the opera tenor had any children and/or grandchildren.
