Does anyone know where I could start looking for Italian birth and marriage records without having to learn Italian? Thanks Karen |

Hi Karen. There a few Italian records on Ancestry. Malcolm. There is a Mary from Italy on the boards that may be able to help. |

Hi Karen, There's nothing online apart from a handful of records on Ancestry and Familysearch. You can find some information about Italian research here: http://www.anzwers.org/free/italiangen/free_genealogy_research.html http://www.anglo-italianfhs.org.uk/docs/links.html#beginners http://genealogy.about*com/od/italy/a/family_tree.htm (replace asterisk with dot) |

Penny Google 'Babelfish' and you should be able to translate it on that website. Karen |

Don't rely on Babelfish, it gives some really terrible translations. 'L'ispettoe Decieco par assunta esposite sitzia' doesn't mean anything comprehensible - are you sure you've copied it correctly? 'L'ispettore' means 'Inspector', and Decieco or De Cieco might be somebody's name. 'Broche_31 octobre 2004 6neufset d'occasion a'partir de Eur 6;06' should probably read 'Broché 31 octobre 2004, 6 neuf, set d'occasion à partir de Eur 6;06 '. This is French and it means 'Paperback 31 October 2004, 6 new, second-hand set as from 6.06 euros'. |

I've just googled, and found the same site that you did, except that you copied it out wrong - next time it's better to copy-paste so you don't make any mistakes. 'L'ispettore Decieco' (Inspector Decieco) seems to be a whodunnit written by a lady called Assunta Esposito Sitzia. There are several references to it on the Amazon books site. I can't find any references to the book or the author on Italian sites, but there are lots of references to her on German sites. The book appears to be fictional, so I don't think it'll help you finding ancestors called DeCieco. |
