This web site contains descriptions, photographs, and sample pages from 14 published genealogy books. These books contain extensive
information on more than 70 families, and more than 50,000 persons, on about 5,000 pages. Latest book: Gargiulo Families of 17th Century Sorrento, and Some Descendants. A Study of a Large Community in the 17th and 18th
Centuries, has finally just been published last month May, 2012. This book has been researched over the last 3-4 years by Jay Norwalk and Angela Federico. The
book includes the ancestry of 4 large groups of Gargiulos, who are all closely related by DNA research, and who have ancestries recorded in the same church in
Sant'Agnello, near Sorrento, Italy. These families are all traced back to 24 different couples who lived about 1600 in which at least one, and sometime both people,
were surnamed Gargiulo, as well as to many other surname lines in the same period. The book not only includes many living descendants of these couples, but also
many living descendants of other surnamed people who lived about 1600. The book includes a summary of the history of southern Italy from Greek times to
the present, as well as the prehistory before Greek times as revealed in genetic studies. There is also a discussion of genetics, and photographs of 250 Gargiulo
church records, as well as more than a hundred other color and black-and-white photographs of geography, buildings in the Naples and Sorrento areas, paintings and
other historical views of the region, charts, scientific exhibits, and living people among the various Gargiulo families in the book. The book is written by Jay
Norwalk, 1940 - and Angela Federico 1955 - , copyright 2012, with 562 pages. The book is indexed with more than 3,500 names, and has an extensive bibliography.
