Italian Family Research ( How to make the most of Familysearch.org )

Join Bob as he interviews Suzanne Russo Adams about her Sicilian Family and Italian Family Research.  Suzanne is also a genealogist with Familysearch.org and gives us an in depth look at all the features available.

 

If you are looking for help with your Italian Family Research, FamilySearch is FREE. Anyone can sign up for an account to use the site.  The access might be different for different people dependent on our contracts with the original repository/archives.

An example of that is that the Italian State Archives (DGA) limits access of the civil registration records on FamilySearch to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; however—everything that FamilySearch puts online from the DGA is also available for free on the Italian government’s website here:
