The Italian Special Interest Group provides a forum for those interested in their Italian ancestry to network, share genealogical research, and study and preserve their history, customs, and traditions. Co-sponsored by the St. Louis Genealogical Society and the Italian Club of St. Louis, the Italian Special Interest Group welcomes members throughout the year.

Research

Genealogy questions concerning Italian research methodology and potential sources are handled at every meeting. Actual research of a specific family is not performed by the Italian-SIG although members often volunteer to be of short-term assistance. StLGS does offer limited research services on a fee basis for everyone.

Meetings:

Meetings, sponsored by the St. Louis Genealogical Society and co-sponsored by the St. Louis County Library, are held at the St. Louis County Library Headquarters.
