Free Websites for italian Research 1 of 3

Post by rp76226 »

I'm occasionally amazed at the types of websites or URLs out there that I find by reading posts on this site. Today, a website was given, on a recent post, to find Italians who died in the military through a name search. Once in a while, there's a URL where people have researched records for a specific town. Is there a master list of the Italian websites out there that can help find genealogical data? I don't think there is a master list. So let's start one now. Here's some that I know about - please reply and add the ones that you know about (URL - followed by a brief description): note - I can only post 9 URLS and I have 23 - so this is the first of three posts.
