I only recently found out where my great grandfather came from, Albona Austria, which then went to Italy, and now Labin, Croatia. His name was Domenick Vlacich, father Peter, Mother Femia Lieul. He married Lucy Tomasevic, they met while in route to the US, early 1900's. Can anyone tell me what country I should search? Do records stay in the geographic area regardless of the governing body? Any information on web sites to search would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
