Hello Anglo-Italians, I just wanted to add to the current thread about records available at your local Family History Library. For months now I had put off ordering the Civil Registration records 1866-1910 from Menaggio, Como because I thought they would probably be illegible or impossible to read as I know almost no Italian. Well, I was very wrong! I ordered the two films available for my region, paid the $3.25 for each film (they took about 2 weeks to get here) and today I looked at them. I found at least ten members of the TARELLI family, including my ggg-grandfather's birth--very exciting!! They were not very difficult to read and the names were indexed for each year before the actual records. If anyone knows for sure that their relatives came from Menaggio, Como I would be willing to look up any records and at least record the names and dates for you. (I still need to go back and actually copy my records --a long process as there is only one copier at the FHL.) Maggie Tarelli-Falcon Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A.
