Sons of Italy Supports Italian Ancestors Project
The Sons of Italy is pleased to support the FamilySearch.org and National Archives of Italy project to create a searchable index of more than 115 million digitized Italian civil record images. The Italian Ancestors project will result in the largest FREE online searchable index of Italian civil records available to everyone.

 

The Italian Ancestors project needs tens of thousands of online volunteers to achieve this incredible objective, and Sons of Italy members and supporters are encouraged to join in.

 

Volunteering does not require a time commitment or the ability to understand Italian.

 

If you are interested in volunteering, please read information about the project and how to get started.

"Our Story: The Italian American Video Collection" Adds New Title

The Sons of Italy is pleased to announce the addition of a new title to "Our Story: The Italian American Video Collection."  The newest film in this collection, "Immigrant Son" is the story of John Mezzogiorno's journey to make sense of his past. Centering on Italian immigration, John's exploration of his ancestral history takes viewers from the Bronx all the way to central Italy. View one-on-one interviews with the people who play a role in his story and immerse yourself in the Italian culture.

 

"Our Story: The Italian American Video Collection" is a video catalog that covers topics of interest to Italian Americans - and those who love Italian culture and history - ranging from bios of prominent Italian Americans and episodes in our history to the exploration of food and travel.  To participate in the program and receive your first DVD for preview, contact the customer service center: 800-632-6172 (phone); 763-577-1298 (fax); or OurStory@cust-serv.net.
