My great-great grandfather, one Francesco Contarini, is believed to have emigrated from Italy to Greece sometime between his birth in the 1830s and the 1860s. I am seeking a genealogist that could assist in tracing any record of his presence in Italy in public / church records.

Hello

Can anyone help me with locating a Francesco Contarini, believed to have been born in 1832? I am unsure if his birthplace was Italy or Greece. I didn't find anything in the usual places, but a genealogist in Greece has found a record in the electoral register of 1867.

Kind regards
