    Hoping for more Canadian, Hungarian (including into what is now Slovakia), Scottish and pre revolutionary war (US and Loyalist) records please.

    Still … the list of new records is impressive!

    England, a part of the United Kingdom is not a part of this listing. Will this be in the future? Or am I missing it?

    Thanks for all you do! Please work on reducing duplicates of marriage records. I have cases where there are 10 to 20 or more instances of the same record, mainly due to indexing differences. You have to attach all of the instances in order to clear out the hints properly. I realize there are cases with multiple documents, such as for marriage license versus actual marriage.

    I am hoping that, someday, more remote records may become available for the Palermo, Caltanissetta, and Agrigento Provinces. There appears, to me, to be essentially no records prior to the time of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Sicily was under the rule of the Kingdom of Spain for about 200 years, the rule of the Kingdom of Aragon for about 300 years, under the Normans, the Saracens, the French, and the Holy Roman Empire, but I am not able to find records prior to about 1750, if that good.

    ATTN: @Anthea140 … A lot of the UK stuff is available at findmypast. You can also try the National Archives site. The England Wiki at familysearch (https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/England_Genealogy) is another source of info.

    Thank you for all the marvelous work FamilySearch does to help bring families together. I am hopeful more records from the Middle East, specifically Lebanon and Syria, will become more available in the future.

    A great source of Polish genealogy is GENETEKA Poland on the net. Click on English if you don't understand Polish. Because Poland was under Germany and Russian rule, at times. there may be some overlap of records. Look for surname and place. Records go back to the 1500's. Original parish records are written in Latin or Polish. Use Google translate if needed.

    Search for 'Ellis Island records' on the net. May find place of birth, age, ship, destination, and family traveling along. Also, may find name and relationship of someone in the States they were going to meet. If person died at Ellis Island look for the cemetery database at findagrave.com

    You should check Antenati. They have records for Reggio Calabria the comune (town) from 1809-1943:

    https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/search-registry/?localita=Reggio%20di%20Calabria&s_facet_query=localita_ss%3A%22Reggio%20di%20Calabria%22

    Which San Nicola do you mean? There are quite a few just in Reggio Calabria (the province), they are all hamlets of other comuni:

    • San Nicola, Ardore
    • San Nicola, Caulonia
    • San Nicola, Antonimina
    • San Nicola, Bovalino
    • San Nicola, Fiumara
    • San Nicola, Montebello Jonico
    • San Nicola, Motta San Giovanni
    • San Nicola, Placanica

    And there is also a San Nicola that is part of the comune Reggio Calabria.
