Salina Birth Search

[Allen]

I will be visiting Salina in the near future and would like to visit the area where my Grandfather was born. I do not know the name of the town on Salina. Does anyone know how I would search records there? His name was John Baptiste Barca. His father's name was John Barca and his mother was Josephine Lauracella. He was born around 1864. Ideas? Thanks. MA Allen.

I believe the surname is Lauricella, not Lauracella
