Did you Know?
Civil registration (from 1866) for the comuni in the province of Bari can be found in a place search of the FamilySearch Catalog under "Italy, Bari - Civil registration", rather than under the individual names of the towns. The records were filmed together in such a way that it was necessary to catalog them all together in one record. This large provincial record includes the allegati or supplemental information from 1866-1900 and also the births, marriages, marriage banns, deaths, and allegati from 1900-1929. For records prior to 1866, search under the name of each individual town or comune.
