Free worksheets

Print this page, or use your browser's print dialog and choose "Save as PDF." Nothing you type here is uploaded. These three sheets are the free set. The paid kit, when the files are finished, adds fillable versions and a correspondence tracker with more rows. There is no email gate. A mailing list is not connected, and this page will not pretend that one is.

Use them in this order. The ancestor profile holds the facts you already trust. The comune finder is where a vague "from Naples" becomes a municipality. The record log is where you write what you searched, including the searches that found nothing.

1. Ancestor profile

One person. Use a second copy for the spouse. Leave a line blank rather than guess.

Surname as you have it

Given names

Other spellings to try

Sex, if known

Birth date or range

Birth place, as written in the source

Father

Mother, with her last name

Spouse

Marriage date and place

Death date and place

Source for the line you trust most

2. Comune finder

Fill this before you browse a register. A port is not a birthplace.

Town string from the record

Which record (list, petition, obituary)

Province or region, if stated

Possible comune

Province that comune belongs to

Modern name, if the town was renamed or merged

Checked in a gazetteer? Note the title

Same town named in a second source?

Next step after a confirmed comune: Antenati, then FamilySearch.

3. Record and correspondence log

One row per search or letter. "Nothing found" is a result. Write it down so you do not repeat the same browse.

Date	Archive or site	Person, place, year	What you opened	Result

The printable sheets above are free on purpose. If you want the Italian letter files and the longer glossary beside them, that is the kit, which is described on its own page and is not downloadable until checkout is connected.
