This is a quick (but detailed) guide for beginners through intermediates, who are researching their Trentino ancestors. These are questions I get asked MULTIPLE times a week (sometimes multiple times a day), so I thought it was high time I created a resource for beginners and intermediate researchers.
I am also offering it as a FREE 10-page PDF, which you can download, print and refer to whenever you want. To get your FREE PDF, just click the link above.
The FAQs I cover are:
Q1. I AM A COMPLETE BEGINNER. WHERE DO I START? This includes advice on the 'worst' way to research, as well as advice about citing sources.
Q2. DID MY ANCESTORS COME FROM AUSTRIA, TYROL, OR ITALY? HELP! I AM CONFUSED!
Q3. TRENTO, TRENTINO, VALLEY, PARISH, COMUNE? HELP! I AM CONFUSED!
Q4. I KNOW THE NAME(S) OF MY MOST RECENT TRENTINO-BORN ANCESTORS. HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THEM? This section focuses on using the Nati in Trentino website.
Q5: HOW FAR BACK CAN I TRACE MY TRENTINO ANCESTORS?
Q6. HOW CAN I SEE THE ORIGINAL PARISH RECORDS? ARE THEY AVAILABLE ONLINE ANYWHERE? This section guides you through using the LDS Family History Centres, the Diocesan Archives in Trento, and I also share some information about how I work.
Q7: HOW CAN I FIND LIVING RELATIVES IN TRENTINO?
BONUS QUESTION: WHY DID MY ANCESTORS LEAVE TRENTINO?
Do any of these questions sound familiar?
If so, I highly recommend reading the article online.
