Giovinazzo - DeNinno, LaBombarda, Palmiotto, Stufano

[mdeninno]

Hi there! I've done a bit of research already and have traced my Grandfather's birth (1885), as well as his parents' marriage (1878) to Giovinazzo, a city in the Bari province. The information is all from civil register documents. I will exhaust the source I'm currently using (LDS-borrowed microfilm in San Francisco, CA) when I reach back to ~1809.

Does anyone have ideas about how to locate any birth/death/marriage records prior to 1809? Probably only church info? I plan to travel to the area in 2006, September time frame and would appreciate any advice. Thanks so much!!!

My ancestors are from Giovinazzo as well (surname D'Agostino) and I'm going there in May 2006 to do some geneological research. If you come across any additional useful resources, I'd apprreciate if you'd pass them along. My e-mail is frankcam@tiac.net
