I'm stunned right now. I finally had the opportunity this morning to actually think about genealogy for the first time in about a month. So as I browsed my way to Family Search so I could see recently added collections (that were NOT Italian) what did I find? I found a recently added collection of Italian records. This new collection (Palermo Province (Sicily) Catholic Church Records, 1530-1919) is the first Italian record set for Family Search and I hope they keep it going. Granted, only 6% of the collection is completed, but at least when you look at the European Region page, and scroll all the way to the bottom, Italy at last is listed.
I don't have any ancestors from Sicily, but just across the Strait of Messina is Calabria so they are getting close. Way to go Family Search!
