Dear Anglo-Italian listers, Before unsubscribing to go learn Italian, I wonder if sks could advise me where I might start looking for a marriage in Italy sometime between 1930 and 1944 (details below), or just whether there is anywhere to look at all?

Lee, Any CHIOCCHI's in Liverpool / Everton on the 1861 would be wonderfully <snipped> Have you come across this site? http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hibernia/ Insert the surname into the online search facility. It locates several references to the name in the index, which is based on a fiche published by the Liverpool & SW Lancs FHS -- Regards, Julie Goucher anglers.rest@virgin.net Anglers Rest Home Page www.anglers-rest.net Anglo Italian Family History Society www.anglo-italianfhs.org.uk ORLANDO One Name Study ~ GOONS Member 3925 www.orlando-ons.co.uk --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Just a reminder that we've got David Green, geographical historian from King's College, London, giving a talk entitled 'Creating a community: godparents and organ grinders in Victorian London'. This will be held at 2pm Saturday 9 October, at The Hyde Park Family History Centre, 64/68 Exhibition Road London SW7 2PA. The talk is free to members, with a suggested donation of £3 for non-members. There will be a drop-in advice clinic from noon onwards for anyone who wants help with a family history problem, and of course you are welcome to use the wonderful facilities of the centre (which has a large collection of films of Italian church and civil records) both before and after the talk. The Society will have a supply of books and CDs for sale, and if you wish to borrow a book from the society library, this is a good time to arrange to collect a preordered title, without incurring postage costs. We need to give the centre some idea of numbers, so that they know which room to put us in, so please email me if you are thinking of coming. Guests welcome. Look forward to seeing many of you there. Elaine -- Elaine Collins Chair, Anglo-italian Family History Society 3 Calais Street London SE5 9LP 020 7274 7809 http://anglo-italianfhs.org.uk

If anyone is taking notes of David Green's talk on October 9 or if a transcript is available I'd gladly pay for a copy. It's too far from Toronto.

Salutations from Glorious Melbourne For years I have been looking for my CHALKEY line in / around Liverpool & Everton, with little success. Now it appears they started out as CHIOCCHI - now I know why I couldn't find them! Naturally, I am very keen to hear from anyone researching the same name ( or perhaps knows from what part of Italy the name may have originated) or can advise me on how I can begin deciphering how / who / when the first ancestor from the family may have arrived in England?
