Turi

[stephturi222]

I am looking for a town In italy where most of the population has the last name of Turi where my family is from. Logically it would be Turi, but I am almost positive my grandfather always told me it was something with an 'A' if anyone can help I would really appreciate it!

Here you go
Pretty neat interactive site
http://www.gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/

Just type in your name at ‘Cognome’
Hit the arrow
Float your cursor over the areas with the most x’s

After you decide on a promising region, try this site

Another way to check, try plugging your name into
Ellis Island

Wow! Great and Thanks! That was quick! Plus that Ellis Island thing will be REALLY handy!!!
