Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Resource! Comment: This book is a gold nugget in the form of countless bits of information for anyone searching for their Italian roots. I have been using software to look for my ancestors and was having no luck until I read about women traveling without their husbands traveling under their maiden names. Low and behold I found the passenger list with my great-grandmother traveling with my grandmother from their 1916 trip from Italy to the US! Thank you! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Research Guide Comment: This book is very informative about the history of the immigrations of Italians. The how to read Italian records alone is worth the price of this book. I am going to suggest this book to my genealogy class. Customer Rating: Summary: Researching Your Italian Ancestory Wherever Comment: Whether your family came from Italy itself or the Italian-speaking parts of Switzerland, you will find this book gives you HEAPS of detail on how to approach the tricky matter of researching across cultures and languages (assuming that you speak only English!) It also gives a sound understanding of the national Italian approach to archival material. Researchers making their way through all the paperwork need this - plus the text gives you a good feel for what you have to do once you're actually there in person trying to contact the people who hold the records with the information you want to access. Customer Rating: Summary: Great resource Comment: I've been using this book for several years along with Trafford Cole's book about Italian records. Without these two books, I would not have had nearly as much success extracting information from reels of difficult-to-read records on microfilm. They are especially helpful dissecting the different types of records and the distinctive handwriting. There's tons of other indispensable information you'll need to know when embarking on any serious study of your Italian ancestors. Customer Rating: Summary: The best for Italian research Comment: It has been one year since I started researching my Italian Ancestors and this was the first book I purchased. It was so easy to follow and helped me tremendously in reading the birth certificates, to write letters in Italian and to understand where to search. More Reviews
