Your family’s records are in Italy. So am I.
Most records that matter — the ones that hold your family’s real story — were written by hand, stored in a Parish or in a Town Hall, and never touched by a scanner.
Finding them means walking through the right door, in the right town, and asking the right person — in Italian.
That’s not something you can do from across the ocean.
But I can.
Online-only research
US — based in Italy
Italian Town halls routinely ignore requests from abroad. I follow up by phone, by visit, by knowing who to talk to.
Thousands of parish and civil records were never digitalized. They're sitting in a drawer somewhere — and I know which drawer.
Some archives only release documents in person. No workaround exists — unless someone is there to walk in and ask.
Old Italian records are in Latin, regional dialect, and script that takes years to learn to read. I've been reading them for over 20.
Three ways I can help your family
Every project starts with a free conversation — no commitment, no upfront payment.
