GenealogyBank is pleased to announce that later this year it will be adding six Italian American newspapers from three states: California, New York and Pennsylvania.
These new additions to GenealogyBank’s online historical newspaper archives will provide thousands of articles to help you do genealogy research on your Italian American ancestors. Trace your Italian ancestry back to the 1800s with obituaries, birth notices, wedding announcements, and local news stories found in these old Italian-language newspapers.

Bravo! Glad to hear it. That could be a big help to us in our Italian genealogy research. Will spread the word on our FB page: http://www.facebook.com/italianroots.
Thank you! Grazie!
So glad to hear this! Can you also look at getting L’Araldo Italiano, from NYC? It is very hard to find. The NYC Public Library has the most complete microfilm record of this paper. Would be great to get this online and in searchable format. L’Araldo was a daily starting from the 1880′s.
