Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Start with the "Ellis Island Records" database, doing a search with your family name!. From there you can get the name of the Italian city, town or village where your family comes!. Once you have the name of the city, you can either travel to Italy or ask a professional to do a research in the city's archives to find out about your ancestors!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do a search on the web, everyone has a cousin that they haven't seen in years who has done some of the research already!. in a search engine type in
(your last name)+genealogy
you can also try
(your last name)+family
