Welcome! What began as a search for my ancestors from Sannicandro and Loseto has grown into a much larger collection of 134,092 people who originated from every commune in Bari Province. Source records range from Italian church records dating back to 1576, Italian Civil records from most communes in Bari Province dating back to 1809 all the way up to U.S. State and Federal Records. Many of those who came to the U.S. are included with links to their ship manifests, census records, naturalization records and other records from their lives in the U.S. It is also a work in progress that will be periodically updated. Originally posted September 2020. The most recent additions are the church marriage records from Bitritto from 1592 through 1759. I’m still working on marriages from 1760-1798. Recent additions also include corrections, and it merges some people that weren't in previous revisions. As usual, if you see any error, or have any questions, please let me know. Search Hints The vast majority of surnames included a prefix at some time in their history; examples were d’, de, di, da, lo, etc. The surnames shown are from the earliest records I could find, usually either the person’s birth or marriage record. For the best search results, try using some prefixes.
