Looking for information on my grandfather and his side of the family

Post by ladyofmarius »

My grandfather moved to Venice, Italy when he was about 9 years old from Pula. I only have his parents names and nothing else for his side of the family. He married my grandmother in Venice in 1948. I have looked all over ancestry.com and can't find any more information. Any ideas where else I should look? Thank you.

Hi - I "second" Tessa's request, and are you referring to the city of Pula on Sardinia, or Pula (Pola) on the northwest coast of modern-day Croatia? The latter would be my guess, since it's much nearer to Venice than the other city . . .

The only relative I could find was a sister named Maria Kramer born in Pula and died in Germany, dates not given.

This person was born in 1919 in Pola, Italy [and before it was the Austro-Hungarian Empire; only in 1947 with name Pula it became Croatia, as part of Yugoslavia].
I read that the registers of the Italian town of Pola have been moved to the Archive of the Comune of Gorizia.
Hoping this is correct, you may try to write to the Comune of Gorizia.

For the preceding period you should refer to church registers.
