Hi Philippe,
for researches in Corfù (and in Greece) see here from page 159:

https://books.google.it/books?id=R4YPPz ... er&f=false

It seems to be difficult to do genealogical research there because it's written: "...the records are in the individual churches (if they have not been destroyed), but they are fairly recent, since the keeping of records was a very chancy affair before 1800".

However you can also contact the General State Archives of Corfu (GSAC), e-mail : mail@gak.ker.sch.gr :
http://www.corfu-museum.gr/index.php/en ... ic-library

These Archives hold a lot of material according to this guide (page 15):
http://www.newsontherialto.com/downloads/NOTR-2011.pdf and maybe, if you are lucky, you could find some information about him.

That's all for now.

Regards,
Erica

per quanto riguarda gli studi potresti chiedere all'archivio dell'università di Pisa.

Ho fatto ricerche in altre università ed ho sempre avuto risposte.

Corfù era Veneziana, puoi chiedere anche all'AdS di Venezia.

in funzione delle risposte poi vediamo che si può fare

Vincenzo
