Thanks to the help of the members here especially Marty (thank you so much again) I traced my last name "Iovine" back to the 1780's.

Unfortunately now LDS doesn't have any microfilms from Tufo, AV beyond 1801.

So, where do I go from here to keep tracing back the name? Births or Baptisms in the 1700's for example.

Grazie

So almost a year later from all of this research and I'm now writing this message from Tufo, AV right now. It turns out that I have more information and research than the comune of Tufo. They do not have any documentation prior to 1860 and when they saw these records I found from LDS, the mayor was suprised. He confirmed those documents indeed came from Tufo.

If anyone else is going to Tufo please send me a private message and I'll be happy to assist in their travels. Their civil servent only works part time on Mondays and Tuesdays and judging by the post office always seems to be closed, I'm sure my letters I've been sending never made it there. Phone calls and going in person seems to be the only way to get things done in a town like Tufo.

But the visit was amazing. I met a few relatives and found even more research questions that I need to go back to the LDS microfilms to research.
