Researching Your Italian Ancestors (FMY Regional Library Workshops)
9:30 am to 12:30 pm Fort Myers Regional Library, South Building Meeting Rooms A&B, 1651 Lee Street, Fort Myers, Florida
Speaker: John Bifano, Genealogy Volunteer, Fort Myers Regional Library
Part One: Research Techniques in the United States
Italy is rich in genealogy and family history resources. Since most Italian genealogical records generated in Italy, are not available in published or compiled records on the Internet or elsewhere, research must be done in the original birth, marriage, and death records of each town in Italy. It is necessary to know the name of the town before research in Italian records can start. Many of these clues will be found in records generated in the United States.
Part Two: Research Techniques in Italy
Our second seminar will cover research topics covering sources, repositories, and agencies in Italy. Topics discussed will include procedures for obtaining records in Italy via mail, Italian sources within the Family History Library, and specific Italian research sites on the Internet highlighting how to extract pertinent information
All programs are free and open to the public. Advance Registration is required. Patrons may register for the classes using one of the following methods:
- Telephone: Call 479-4636 and select the option for registering for programs.
- Telephone: Call Bryan l. Mulcahy at 533-4626 and leave your contact information.
- E-Mail: Contact Bryan L. Mulcahy at bmulcahy@leegov.com.

International Germanic Genealogy Conference (Conferences-Seminars)
Minneapolis Marriott Northwest Hotel, 7025 Northland Dr. N., Minneapolis, Minnesota
One year ago a partnership was created between genealogy societies in the United States and German genealogy societies in Europe. Just as we are interested in what life was like for our ancestors in Germanic Europe so are Germans interested in what life was like for their ancestors who came to the United States. This partnership has been very successful in its first year and is growing. The name of the new organization is the German American Genealogical Partnership.
One of the Partnership goals is to have a 3-day International German Conference in 2017. It will be held on Friday, July 28 thru Sunday, July 30. The German Genealogy Society in Minneapolis volunteered to host it. In 2018 it will be in Germany and in 2019 in California. The conference will be held in the Marriott Conference hotel in a northwest suburb of Minneapolis.
HOTEL RESERVATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED!
A block of rooms has been set aside for conference attendees.
Conference dates:
July 27, 2017 Partner Leadership Day
July 28 – 30, 2017 International Germanic Genealogy Conference – all day presentations
To reserve a room by phone, call (toll-free in the USA) 1-877-303-1681 and say you wish to reserve a room as part of the Germanic Genealogy Conference.
