Highlights
  • Italy - Where can you start your Italian genealogy adventure?
    Simple chatting with elder relatives gives you much information to (re)construct your family history. In this way you can begin finding out names, occupations and other biographies. Contacting the relatives, especially the elderly, is a great help on your research. Soon you will be able to create a so-called family tree. If you are lucky you can begin to collect documents from the town your ancestors were from, like postcards, old pictures and more. At that point you can begin your search on the names you got and get information, trying to know more and more about them.

One of the highlights of our trip! - We visited two tiny towns where my husband’s grandparents immigrated from, San Pietro Avellano and Bagnoli del Trigno. I gave the company the places we wanted to see and restaurant based on recommendations from people of the town’s Facebook page. One town even arranged volunteers to show us around the town! We are a family of four with two young boys and the vehicle was very nice, spacious and clean. The driver was wonderful and took us exactly where we wanted, the towns, cemeteries, churches, etc. and waited while we enjoyed site seeing and lunch. If you want to visit the towns of your ancestors, I would definitely recommend doing this and would also reach out to the towns in advance to get recommendations-they are so happy you are visiting and so welcoming!
