[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have hit a wall in 1800s with DH family on ancestry. com.  Its as if Italians are not into making family trees on there[/quote]

I don’t have much on my Italian side either and I would never ever trust the random trees on ancestry—people are crappy researchers.  If your family emigrated in the 20th century, they likely had to identify their home village and a contact name in the old country on the ship manifest.  From there, your best bet is likely Catholic Church records that are maintained by parish. I’m not aware of any good site that really does a good job with digitization or the Italian parish records.  One of my relatives went to the village and visited a couple church grave yards until they found the right one.  [/quote]

You might have success with digitized records that are not indexed online. You can visit a family history center to do the research. Some records are only available to onsite visitors not remote users of family search. [/quote]
