Hi Sheila LDS libraries can get in for you microfilms of lots of Italian records. To see what is available go to the family history library catalog on www.familysearch.org and type in Italy, or the town/district one is interested in. I did some checking for a friend of mine a year or so ago and was wonderfully surprised at what exists. She was wanting info re. an island off Sicily and goodness me all the births, deaths and marriages for civil registration were there for the time she wanted. Good luck Graham Melbourne
