Re: SCANNING OLD DOCUMENTS

too techy for me. i'm old school. at 76 it is what it is. i started research back in the days of scrolling films and consulting books. using 2 20 year old windows 7 laptops. just my equipment would preclude me from proceeding further. i really have done all i can with both my italian research and my ...

Re: SCANNING OLD DOCUMENTS

they should update users on these issues.it would be great if you could skip pages in the records searches as well,but the way its set up,if there are 1000 pages,you can only skip ahead 5 pages or so at a time,which takes forever in a large comune. like the way it works in family search-enter the ...

Re: SCANNING OLD DOCUMENTS

Re: SCANNING OLD DOCUMENTS

THANKS FOR THE HELP. VERY GOOD AT RESEARCH ONCE I FIND THE CORRECT RECORDS BUT NOT VERY TECHY-AND SOME OF THE WAYS THESE RECORDS ARE COMPILED ARE CONFUSING,ESPECIALLY IN THE LARGE CITIES. SMALL COMUNES WITH TINY POPULATIONS NO PROBLEM,BUT LARGE CITIES LIKE NAPLES OR PALERMO ARE SET UP DIFFERENTLY. I ...

Re: SCANNING OLD DOCUMENTS

Re: DEFINING NORTHERN,CENTRAL,AND SOUTHERN ITALY

I WOULD STILL SEE TUSCANY AS MORE NORTHERN AS ITS HISTORY AND CULTURE ARE MORE IN LINE WITH THE NORTH. ITS WHERE ITALIAN WAS STANDARDIZED AND WHERE ARTS AND CULTURE WERE MOST REALIZED. BY CONTRAST THE SOUTH FROM LAZIO AND ABBRUZZI DOWN TO CALABRIA AND SICILY WERE CULTURAL BACKWATERS OVERSEEN BY ...

Re: DEFINING NORTHERN,CENTRAL,AND SOUTHERN ITALY

THERE IS NO HARD LINE SPLIT BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH. THIS IS WHY LAZIO AND ABRUZZO ARE THE REGIONS THAT BLEND THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. THE NORTH ENDS HERE AND THE SOUTH BEGINS HERE. BUT A GRADUAL BLENDING. HENCE CENTRAL ITALY. SARDINIA HISTORICALLY HAS MORE IN COMMON WITH THE ...

DEFINING NORTHERN,CENTRAL,AND SOUTHERN ITALY

OVER THE YEARS I SEE VARYING DEFINITIONS OF WHATS CONSIDERED NORTHERN ITALY,CENTRAL ITALY,AND SOUTHERN ITALY. GEOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING I WOULD CONSIDER ANY REGION ABOVE LAZIO AS NORTHERN ITALY INCLUDING TUSCANY UMBRIA AND THE MARCHES ALTHOUGH I SEE THESE THREE LUMPED IN WITH CENTRAL ITALY. THE NORTH ...

Re: RE:ATTI DI NASCITA IN RODI MESSINA

i know that but i was hoping vital records would have been filmed for rodi as many other comunes in messina extend well past 1865. usually there are 3 sections at antenati. the early napoleonic records,the restoration,and the civil records which continue after 1865. i like to do my own research so ...

I SEE NOTHING AT FAMILY SEARCH OR ANTENATI SITES FOR CIVIL REGISTRATION AFTER 1865 FOR RODI MESSINA. LOOKING FOR BIRTH OF FILIPPO PALANO IN RODIMESSINA OCTOBER 1905. ANY POINTERS OR SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.
