Some of the most valuable sources for family history research are local histories. They describe the settlement of the area and the founding of churches, schools, and businesses. You can also find lists of soldiers and civil officials. Even if your ancestor is not listed, information on other relatives may be included that will provide important clues for finding the ancestor. A local history may also suggest other records to search. | |||
Local histories can also provide background information about your family’s lifestyle and the community and environment in which they lived. | |||
The FamilySearch Library has some local histories for towns in Italy. Similar histories are often also available at major public and university libraries and archives. | |||
