Sicilian genealogical research can be a rewarding, and even fulfilling, experience, as we’ve mentioned in the introductory Family History section. However, you’ll have to know where to find the information you’re looking for, and how to interpret it once you do find it.

We’ll also offer some tips about where to find Sicilian genealogical records. Visit the genetics page for information on the relationship between that science and genealogy, and some notes on ethnology. for more click here
