Researching and contacting distant relatives

Computers and the internet have made research more accessible. When your Italian ancestor arrived in Australia, a paper trail began. Much of this paperwork has been digitised and it is worth looking on databases to find out what your ancestor said about themselves.

Recording and displaying your family tree

There are many free programs available on the internet. The most popular is the Personal Ancestral File program that can be downloaded from http://www.familysearch.org/

There are many computer resources available in Co.As.It.'s library. There are CDs showing the arrivals into Western Australia from 1839. There are photographs of headstones from cemeteries in the Aeolian Islands. Examples of genealogy computer programs have been installed on the computers.
