Our family history tour with Giovanni and Dario was the highlight of our trip to Italy! We found some records at city hall. The priest at the church showed us our family baptismal and marriage records from the 1700's and even offered us an espresso. We visited the one of the family homes and met one of the last family members alive who still lives in the town. We had a wonderful lunch with Giovanni and Dario. It was a once in a lifetime experience that our kids will always remember!

Joe & Dario did a great job helping reconstruct my family history in Italy

Wow, is there a way I can give Joe and Dario 10 stars? I would if I could. I had been trying to get a certified copy of a birth certificate from a town near Naples for many months. I even worked with a different service provider who got nowhere trying to help me despite their best efforts. Once I contacted Joe I had the official signed document in my hands writhing a matter of weeks! Communication was excellent. Shipping was coordinated and tracked. The documents arrived in perfect condition. highly highly recommended!

Outstanding Service and Perfect Deliverables for Italian Family History! I hired Joe and Dario De Simone from Italian Genealogy Pro to conduct a targeted search for my grandparents' and great-grandparents' civil records in the Campania region (Pozzuoli, Salerno, and San Giovanni a Piro). I could not be happier with the outcome! I had very specific digital formatting requirements to ensure compatibility with my family tree archive on Ancestry.com. Joe and Dario followed my instructions perfectly: • High-Resolution Document Images: They provided clear, high-resolution JPG files of the original handwritten ledger pages. This allows me to actually see the original handwriting of the civil acts. • Accurate English Translations: All English translations were neatly delivered in a structured Word document, making them easy to review and copy. • Flawless File Organization: Each translation document accurately matched and referenced its corresponding JPG filename, saving me hours of matching files manually. • Flowcharts of my paternal and maternal Italian Grandparents and more. The English summaries captured every detail I needed, including full names of the couples, maiden names of my great-grandmothers, town origins, dates, ages, exact occupations, record numbers, and vital marginal notation translations. Their communication was highly professional, their turn-around time was exactly as promised, and their pricing was straightforward and transparent. If you need a reliable expert to dig into local Italian archives and deliver clean, well-organized digital assets for your genealogy research, I highly recommend Italian Genealogy Pro!

After much searching for quality genealogists in Naples, Joe and Dario were an excellent choice! The records I sought could only be found in the Archivio di Stato di Napoli. The whole process took less than two weeks. Thanks Joe. Thanks Dario.

I was really struggling to get solid information about my Italian ancestors due the fact that Italian births, deaths and marriages records are held locally at churches and municipal offices and are rarely digitised. I found Joe online and hey presto, several months later he had traced my family back on both sides several hundred years!! Very easy to communicate given his Italian American background and information was researched and presented in an easily digestible format.

Joe's assistance in making the heritage portion of our trip to Italy spectacular, was a gift!! It was truly a surreal experience (and surprise) when he was able to arrange a meeting with cousins to learn, first hand, more of our family history. To find the churches where my grandparents were baptized in the late 1800's, and to travel through the small towns where they grew up was amazing. They did an amazing job and we are forever grateful!

Had the opportunity to work with Joe and Dario this past April. What an experience they provided for us! My brother and I brought my 84 year old father back to his roots in Monteforte. IGP did an amazing job locating birth records and explaining our family history. Joe was extremely generous with his time and knowledge. His knowledge of the town and history was unbelievable. Highly recommend Joe, Dario and IPG if you want to create memories for a life.

I had an excellent experience with Italian Genealogy Pro. Joe and Dario successfully located and retrieved birth certificates for six different Italian ancestors for my citizenship case. They were responsive to emails, knowledgeable about the Italian records process and local comuni, and professional throughout. Some of the records were challenging to locate, and they handled everything efficiently. I highly recommend them for Italian dual citizenship or genealogical research. The process does take some time (months in some cases), but that's largely out of their hands and more of function of local comune timelines.

Joe De Simone and his son Dario did a fantastic job in researching my family’s history. Their research was used as a basis to visit the city of my grand parents (Sorrento) and use them to give us an unbelievable tour of where our family lived. I would highly recommend them..
