  1. This site appears to have 50 links to help with genealogical research of Sicilian ancestors:  http://www.genealogylinks.net/europe/sic...

    CyndisList also has a list of helpful links:  http://www.cyndislist.com/italy.htm

    I hope this helps!


  2. If yo have last names and cities you may start searching with http://www.paginebianche.it  This is the official Italian white pages website. You may enter your data and receive a list of the people with that family name in that town (or area, province, region) complete of road address, phone and often mobile nr and e-mail.

    This will be possible only if at least one person in that family has registered for a land line

    You may also try direct searches using the local search engines of yahoo and google ( yahoo.it and google.it) and their advanced searches, or  those of virgilio.it .

    There is also a specific Sicilian search engine at http://www.siciliano.it/

    For name origins (unluckily in Italian only, but etymologically serious,detailed and free of charge) you may try here http://www.cognomiitaliani.org/cognomi/i...
