Re: Surname "Perlot" in Trento (Fai Della Paganella)

Yes, you have to physically visit one of the Family History centers. However, check with your local public library or a college library. Many of them will order the film for you and you can view the film at the library.

Re: looking for Pedrotti and Micheli

Looks like someone has already traced her ancestry back to the 1700s. Take a look at this link from Rootsweb.

I have some Germanic type names on my website about Trentino genealogy --- www.trentinoheritage.com
This area was under Austrian rule for a very long time. The Frank name was more than likely Franch.
