historical sketch of the Waldensian’s, reading list and family researchers.

They have compiled a list of known  Italian/Waldensian surnames based  on the book
by Osvaldo Coisson, I Nomi di Famiglia delle Valli Valdesi  – some of which surprised me.  You may also submit Waldensian surnames if yours is not already listed.  Lots of good information.  Worth a read.
