PAT'S REVIEW
| This book will give the information and guides to begin the search of your Italian Heritage. The author gives you useful tips but then also provides you with information from Italy on who to go about searching for your relatives. Weather through church records or some legal records. She also gives you address as well. You must remember that in Europe and especially Italy that a lot of the time the local church kept all birth, death and marriage records, so it is easier to start their first then move on to the local office. Also some regions because of the lack of funds especially in the southern towns were not able to keep very good records, so the church is where everyone turned to. This is all explained by the author. She does a great job of giving you the information and then at the end of the book giving you all of the addresses that she explained in the book. A very good book. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com |
