Missouri Reader

This is a great book for anyone researching Italian ancestors

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great book for anyone researching Italian ancestors! You can read the entire book if you want a good historical background, or skip around to read what is relevant to the record you are working with at the moment.! I bookmarked the vocabulary charts and use them every time I work with a record.
The only problem I have is with this particular copy of the book. The print on some of the pages are very light and difficult to read. Even with that, this is a book worth owning.
5 Stars for book content; 4 Stars for quality.

Sono Americano ma non e' colpa mia

Defintely a solid buy but not sure where, without some Italian skills of your own, you may end in your geneological research.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

My cousin, of Italian heritage, and I each have bought this book. Alas! I have no such heritage, as hers is from a different side of her family! But, we are researching her family tree and will be visiting Italy in 2016 during which time we will visit some genealogical sites of interest to her heritage. I'm not exactly convinced that one can get to the family tree conclusions as one may seek without any Italian language skills, for which the book seems promise that it can be done--or, if not promise, at least encourages you to not give up on your research if you are not fluent in Italian, as you will learn something as you go along--but, there are some fascinating historical accounts of Italy's development that make the book a good read in many parts even without trying to do any research.

This book is worth every penny!

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have been spending months working on researching my Italian genealogy for an application for dual citizenship. I am not fluent in Italian, and could not believe how easy it was to use the generic prewritten letters to send (written in Italian) to Italy ro request birth records. Also, it was very helpful in determining which offices to write to, based on general birth locations. I could not believe my eyes, when I received my grandfather's birth record, officially recorded and stamped from the local Italian office, in my mailbox within 3 weeks of the date that I mailed it! The request for my father's birth certifcate to be sent to me, from the office of Vital records in New Jersey, took 3 months before I received the copy. For anyone considering appying for dual Italian-American citizenship, this is an extremely helpful and cost effective book.

but so far I would recommend this book

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am still reading this one, but so far I would recommend this book. Not only does it describe in detail the various records, but it gives a history of Italy and the Italian people that is extremely useful, helpful, and interesting. It has made clear some points I had been wondering about for a long time. I would be able to properly review it when I finish it, but so far I am very impressed and this was money well spent.

Thank heavens this book came into my life as a dedicated heritage researcher, first generation Italo-American. Since I am alone in this, as are many out there I have founf doing this, I especially appreciated the wonderful sources, shortcuts, and information given to the noviate, although anyone can learn something from this complete guide. A great addition to the literature.

A Must-Have for All Genealogists Researching Italy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

A fantastic 'must have' resource for anyone doing genealogical research for you Italian ancestors. Excellent historical context and information. Most substantial. The only downside is the printing quality from the publisher, but the content of the book itself is superb.

Excellent research guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2008

Verified Purchase

Despite the product information, this book is written in English. It provides a wealth of information on the main Italian genealogical records - what they are, where they can be found, and what information they typically contain. There are plenty of examples of civil and parish records written in Italian or Latin, with appropriate translations. This book will be useful to anyone trying to research Italian ancestors.

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a most important book for Italian genealogical research. It goes into all the areas of research such as civil and religious records as well as military ones. An invaluable aid is the translation into English of many Official Italian documents. Also of great help are sample letters showing how to word requests for various documents.
The glossary of Italian terms as well as the page on Italian calligraphy helped me when I was reading Italian civil records.
This is indeed my Bible of Italian Genealogy!

Great Book

Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

The book is a little dated but still extremely useful for genealogists researching their Italian roots. This book will give you guidance on writing to Italy for records, places to look in Italy for records besides the anagrafe or archivio di stato. The book is also a guide for translating older civil records. A great history of Italy in provided as is a guide to Italian surnames. There are lots of little jewels such as writing to a Questura for an ancestor's passport. I think this is a must have for someone researching their Italian family.

This book provides the ideal knowledge base for anyone wishing to trace their Italian ancestry, without any knowledge of where to look and what can be found. It explains the various types of records that are available, and what you are likely to encounter when you study them. This is a must read book for anyone interested in Italian Genealogy.
