Our transcription database contains about 680,000 records extracted from a miscellany of census, birth, baptism, marriage, and death records together with war and military, directories and occupational records. The list of sources included can be found in our Members Area
Non-members can search for a name at the top of this page to see if it is included whilst members can obtain the information contained in the record via the link ‘Search Transcribed Records’ in the Members’ area. NB: Most are not available on commercial genealogy sites and more information is due to be added.
All editions of our award winning journal, Italian Roots, are available for members to view or download. A keyword search makes it easier to find information within the collection.
Members can also send us their family group records for guidance with the next step in their research and to connect with others who may be researching the same areas. Why not find out if your family is already in our family group records?
We welcome articles, photos, research tips and internet links which can improve the richness of our website. Please contact our WebMaster if you can provide information.

A new edition of Italian Roots is now available for all members to view and download in the Publications section of our website.
We held our Annual General Meeting on Saturday 8th July at the Guildford Institute, Surrey. It was attended by members in person and also - courtesy of web based technology - by absent friends in New Zealand and France. We have since held a committee meeting entirely by webinar – a change from our usual group email and Skype gatherings.
NB: Please get in touch with us if you are interested in joining a future get-together using this method.
Tom Conti's search for information about, and location of, his Father's internment on the Isle of Man is now available for Members to listen to on the Members' page. The programme was originally broadcast by the BBC on 27th April 2013.
