This Is It!,
By Ken Roberts "social historian" (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Italian Genealogical Records: How to Use Italian Civil, Ecclesiastical & Other Records in Family History Research (Hardcover)
For those of you in search of your Italian heritage need look no further. Everything you need is right here in this relatively cheap book written by, get this, a non-Italian! Whether you just want to get your grandparents birth records from the 1890's or go all the way back to the 1700's to get your 5th great grandparents marriage record, this book will tell you how, in easy step by step instructions. Can't read or write in Italian? Mr. Cole's book does that for you, too. Don't know your Italian history? Guess what? Mr. Cole does, and he shares it with you in his book. There are many illustrations of actual Italian records from the 1800's to going back almost 1000 years, and he explains what each is and what the records say. This author covers the history of surnames as well. With the information in this book, it would be virtually impossible for someone who's ancestors were Italian not to discover their heritage. I strongly recommend this book.

EXCELLENT,
By Kathy F. Cannata "Rev. Dr. R. Cannata" (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Italian Genealogical Records: How to Use Italian Civil, Ecclesiastical & Other Records in Family History Research (Hardcover)
This is a truly outstanding work. Well-written, fcat filled, concise, orderly. Dr. Cole covers all the important topics very well. If you buy just one book on Italian genealogy, this is the one.Using just this book, a subscription to POINT journal, an Italian dictionary, and a Latin dictionary I was able to go through the LDS films of my grandfather's ancestral town and in a few months easily trace most of his lines back to the 1500s.
