The previous links are all form the LDS website but you should take a
look at Cyndi's List as there are many resources for Italian
researchers on her website. Admittedly, some are Ancestry.com related
buy most are not…I think it would be worth your time to check them
out.
answers2: First you should understand that Genealogists do more than
just look up public records,. Ancestry is an excellent site for
beginners. There are Italian and Sicilian genealogy sites on line and
if you use Google the information can be translated into English..
You might want to check with your local Family research Center,
library, Genealogical or History Society, many offer free classes on
how to perform Genealogical research and as part of the classes you
may be given a listing of other sites to try.

answers4: The LDS website has some Italian records, however these are
the IGI so you really can't rely on them to be correct as they are a
collection of parish records and donated records ..........and anyone
can donate and they don't verify the information, however each record
you look at, also look at the source of the record, to see if it has a
primary document number or it is a donated record and record this in
your corrected data...so if it is donated you then can use it to see
if you can find a primary source for the information. <a

Join the rootsweb message boards, for the name/place you are looking
for <a href="http://boards.rootsweb.com/?o_iid=33216&o_lid=33216"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://boards.rootsweb.com/?o_iid=33216&...</a>
just don't click into the advert for ancestry at the top of the page.
<br>
Do a search for public records in the place you are looking...so :"
family history Italy" or family records italian" or "italian
genealogy" do a search for free translation sites so if they are in
Italian and you are not an Italian reader you can understand them.
<br>
<br>
Go to the LDS family history centre near you and ask them to order the
Italian parish records you want, it costs very little and once they
have them you can look at the fiche anytime you like ( as others can)
and they also may have some already there which you can look at for
free.
answers5: Most genealogy sites (including Ancestry) are very useful...
IF you're researching ancestors from the locations the website has
records for, and if you know how to use them. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of Italian records online at
this point. If the records you're looking for aren't yet online,
you'll have to find them the old fashioned way. That means either:
<br>
<br>
a) Travel to Italy and visit the archives or other locations where the
records are kept. <br>
<br>
b) Hire someone in Italy to look up the records for you. <br>
<br>
Some Italian records have been microfilmed by the LDS (Mormon) church.
These records are housed at the Family History Library in Salt Lake
City, but you don't have to actually go there to see them. You can
borrow the micofilm and view it at the Family History Center inside
your nearest LDS church. Their catalog is online, so you can take a
look and see what type of records they have for your location in
Italy: <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp"

<br>
<br>
If you haven't already, check out Cyndi's List. There are links to
tons of websites pertaining to Italian genealogy: <a
href="http://www.cyndislist.com/italy.htm"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.cyndislist.com/italy.htm</a> <br>
<br>
I don't know a whole lot about Italian research, but there are lots of
people who do, and they'll be more than glad to help you out because
genealogists are some of the nicest folks around. You just need to
find them... and the place to find them is where they like to hang
out: genealogy message boards and mail lists that pertain to Italy.
Cyndi's List has links to a bunch of them. <br>
<br>
Good luck!
