"Beginning Italian Genealogy Research" September 30
This new class is designed especially for beginners in Italian Genealogy. As you may know it can be difficult getting started on your search. The class will cover basics in research methods and show you the best practices for beginning your family tree. We will start with the present and work backwards to the past using immigration, naturalization, census and vital records in the U.S. and Italy. A power point presentation with several actual examples will be used to illustrate how to begin a successful search for your Italian ancestors.
