P.O.I.N.T.E.R.S. in e-mail - Italian genealogy and more.
PIE is for anyone interested researching Italian genealogy. The website includes resources, tips for getting started and book
recommendations from list members. Over a dozen years old now, PIE is the oldest mailing list devoted to the topic of Italian
genealogy. List discussion is in English, but the list is international and includes members from the US, Canada, South
America and Europe. Although most of the subjects do relate to genealogy, Italian culture, food, traditions, and travel to
Italy are frequent discussion topics.
