Italian Civil Registration – Other Documents: Diversi, Parte Due/Seconda & Cittadinanza)
Ruth Lapioli Merriman

Description: Italian civil records provide great information – names, dates, parents, grandparents, and sometimes even addresses.  But – have you ever ventured into those handwritten scary looking records at the end of the book? Parte 2, Diversi, and the Cittadinanza records offer up additional information – and sometimes quite colorful information.  They are a window into the past. We will delve into each of these record types and discover some amazing stories and see the potential for help these records can provide when you find your ancestors within the pages.

Speaker Bio:  Ruth Lapioli Merriman retired seven years ago after 35 years of working for FamilySearch.  She worked cataloging Italian records and managing the International floor of the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City.  She has lectured at national and international venues, at RootsTech and at various genealogical societies.  She loves genealogy and all things Italian.
