Italian Americans have customs, folkways, beliefs, and behaviors  that are unique to their culture. According to Sharon DeBartolo Carmack, who in  this work puts a whole new spin on family history research, familiarizing  yourself with this culture is the best way to research the American generations  of your Italian-American family history. In focusing on Italian-American  culture, she has developed a unique approach not only to Italian-American  genealogical research, but to genealogical research in general. Her goal is to  show you how to document your heritage while placing each generation of your  family in its cultural milieu and telling a factual and
interesting
story  about the family.
Among other things, this book enables you to evaluate American  records for information specific to Italian-American research, to appreciate the  importance of Italian-American cultural perspective, and to write a readable and  interesting family history. Above all else, though, this book is designed to  help you
enjoy
researching  the American generations of your Italian-American family history.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"The author has accomplished a readable, economical, encouraging, and eminently  useful 'how-to' for an Italian American family history. That she could do so  much in one hundred and forty-two pages is no small achievement."--NATIONAL  GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY, Vol. 85, No. 3, pp. 228-229.
"The customs, folkways and beliefs that are unique to Italian-American culture  are beautiful described in this genealogical research."--BOOKMAN NEWS, Issue 56,  p. 4.
"
Italian-American Family History
should  have a general appeal, and should not be overlooked because it bears the term  'Italian-American' in the title. The information it contains, and the author's  insights and techniques, apply to all ethnic groups."--THE NEW ENGLAND  HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, Vol. 151, No. 603, p. 373.
"[Carmack's] guide is highly recommended to all genealogists with  Italian-American research interests. Other American genealogists will find that  the sections on writing pertain to them as well."--THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND  BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD, Vol. 128, No. 3 (July 1997).
"This book is a succinct and delightfully readable lesson..."
