Finding family in Italy

GENEALOGY JOURNEYS

Many travelers to Italy have deep roots here that they want to explore. Grandparents or great-parents left these time-worn hills to seek opportunity across the sea. We recognize the desire and yearning to connect their memories and stories with the places they left behind. We know how intimate and emotional such a genealogy journey can be, because Valerie had just such an experience herself. Read how she climbed the family tree in a small, mountain-top town and learned more about her heritage. ARTICLE: Family Ties

Because this proved to be such a defining experience in her life, she enjoys helping others uncover their roots, too. Many of our readers and tour clients have requested assistance in obtaining documents, such as birth certificates, marriage records, and death notices. In completing these records searches, Valerie has also found local family ties for some of these clients- an exciting outcome, indeed!

Perhaps you want to see the landscapes and taste the foods that your ancestors knew so well. We will help you find the hamlets and take you on a personal journey to introduce you to the places and the people who live there.

We can assist with:

*Italy-based Document Searches (Birth Certificates, Marriage Records, Death Certificates)
*Photography Services. Want to see where your family originated but just can’t get away? We will go there for you! We’ll cast our eyes and look deeply, then write a detailed description to accompany a vibrant assortment of photographs that will give you a real sense of place and overview of life there today.
*Trip Planning Research and Arrangements to help you make the most of a visit to your ancestral town
*Personally-led tours to your ancestral town, which can include a trip to the vital records office to locate pertinent documents
*Research a short history of your ancestral town

If you’re coming to Italy to discover your heritage, let us help you. We speak Italian and will translate conversations as you encounter townspeople, possibly even lost relatives. We can ascertain opening hours of civic offices and plan visits accordingly. But perhaps more importantly, we have traveled this road ourselves and understand your quest.
