Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to the list,so forgive me if this subject has already been mentioned : I was watching a programme last year on people tracing their family history.One of them was of Italian descent,and the researcher found lots of info on her family,due to the fact that they weren't naturalised British subjects when WW1 started.Apparently,all aliens had to report to the police,who took all their details,where born etc. The programme researcher showed the ledger to this young lady,with all her relatives' details,which she probably would never had found in Italy. Hope this may be helpful to somebody Cheers, Kath Researching MUCCACHIODI and BACIGALUPO in ANCOATS,Manchester _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
