Civil Records of Selected Italian Communes
A commenter on my post about Ancestry.com beginning to add Calabria civil records gave us all a link to an incredible resource. I clicked on the link to the site called Transcribed Records of Italian Towns and was amazed at the number towns listed. This is another one of those wonderful sites where volunteers transcribe documents for us all to use - and the best thing is they are free. Some of the links are to indexes and some actually have scans of the original documents. For those towns not having transcriptions there are occasionally links to people who will do look ups upon request. I've only browsed some of the towns listed, but plan on digging deeper soon.
First the Ancestry.com development and now this - I'm pretty excited. I would be more excited if the towns my grandparents came from were available, but at least I know some day it will happen.
