Hi Elaine & all: I have rented films here in Canada to check for ancestors from Reggio di Calabria. After researching my husbands ancestors in Bucks, I was amazed to find the Italian Records much easier to follow. They use an Index of Names & its at the end of each particular year. They code the names with #'s so you just have to check the names you are interested in. At least that how they did it in R.C., not sure if other provinces did the same.
