Welcome to the Anglo Italian Family History Society

If you are interested in genealogy and your Italian ancestors lived in or passed through England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland after moving from Italy, this website can help you research your family history and learn about the bigger picture of Italian migration to these countries and beyond.

Records Collection

Coming Soon: Members Only area of the website
Our database holds a large collection of records including transcriptions from St Peter's Italian Church, Clerkenwell, London and a rare copy of the Guida degli Italiani in Gran Bretagna. The Guida is a directory of Italians who were living and working in Great Britain at the time of publication (1939). It lists names and addresses. Many business advertisements and articles are also included (in Italian), some with photographs. The Guida also contains a number of biographies of notable Italians who were living and working in Great Britain at the time of publication. These have been translated into English by Nello Ostacchini and are already available to view. All of the records will be searchable.
Updates on progress will appear on the website and also on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
