Searching for your Italian roots (part II)
Returning to your ancestral footsteps and bringing back your ancestors!
We would love to help you discover what you always wanted to know about your family.
As we said in part 1: “…there is much more to learn and discover about the stories your Italian Nonna told you as a child.”
I know many American-Italians keep in their “treasure box” photos of their grandparents, parents, uncles, aunties, childhood mementos, and family gatherings and would love to connect the dots and bring back their ancestors.
I am frequently asked, "How do I find my roots?"
A good starting point is to look for any family documents, such as birth certificates or immigration papers. The Ellis Island records may be useful. Try to locate your ancestral hometown in Italy; many of the past's secrets may be buried there. This is possible as long as your Italian Ancestor migrated after Italy became a nation in 1861.
If you only have pictures and no papers don’t give up; we can help you.
Our business partner, a University Professor of Political Science in California, personally knows local Italian professional and certified genealogists who can conduct reliable and documented research.
Once you have found your ancestors, we shall plan your once-in-a-life-time trip to return to your ancestral footsteps.

Curiosity: In Europe, Italians have the highest genetic diversity. The gradient of their genetic variability, scattered all over the peninsula, encloses on a small scale the whole genetic variance between southern and continental Europeans.
