Not for the serious genealogy hobbiest,

This review is from: A Student's Guide to Italian American Genealogy (Oryx American Family Tree Series) (Hardcover)
I am attempting to research relatives that immigrated from Italy in the later 19th century. This book takes a lot of time to explain how to do genealogy, a little space to explain why these people immigrated in such large numbers at that time, and virtually no space devoted to researching records in Italy.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Strong on history - short on strategies,

Chapter 2, The History of Italian Immigration, is very well done!! It really helped me understand why my grandparents would have left Gimigliano, Italy in 1906 and what their journey to Ellis Island might have been like. I thoroughly enjoyed the way Brockman told this tale. The remaining chapters on genealogical search strategies and resources were helpful - but duplicates of information you find elsewhere. The value of the book is in the first 86 pages.
