What can you discover about your Italian ancestry

The Genealogy research is the reconstruction of a family history based on one or more lines of descents. Thanks to genealogy you can discover the name of your ancestors, the years in which they lived, the kinship that, generation after generation, led to your birth. While we put back together your family tree, it will be possible to get more detailed information about your Italian family. Your ancestors’ professions, where they lived, family customs and traditions are some of the discoveries that often emerge during this research. Noble ancestry, recurring professions, courageous journeys and unexpected events are part of many families’ story, including yours.

How does the genealogy research work

Have you already tried to build your Italian family tree without any results? Family history research can be a real challenge without the help of an expert, especially if the country of origin is not the one where you are currently living in. Our team of genealogists is ready to help you by carrying out the research on the spot with an accurate and professional method. Here’s how we work:

Listening and discovering

First, we ask you to share with us any information you might already have. Names, dates, documents, even stories handed down by your family can help us in the genealogical research of your Italian origins.

Documentation and genealogy research

Using the information you’ll give us, we will begin the genealogy research on your ancestors in Italy, recovering all the necessary documents as evidence of their personal histories. In Italy, a large part of the registry patrimony has never been digitalized, therefore it is necessary to extend the research to the municipal archives and parish registers.

The state archives and notary funds are other important sources to examine during the reconstruction.Dates of birth and death, marriage certificates, shipping documents are valuable sources of information that gradually reveal events and details of your ancestors’ lives. We usually manage to go back to four or five previous generations, collecting all the material that has survived over time.

Building your family tree

The third phase is the most exciting one. At the end of the genealogy research we will tell you about the genealogy of your Italian family showing you all the documentation we have found.

This is the when you can relive the story of your family through ancient documents, portraits, videos and photographs. A surprising encounter with your past, the faces and events that have led to your birth through generations.

Why is it important to have your family tree

Knowing your family history is not just satisfying curiosity about your origins. It is scientifically proven that strengthening the bond with your roots allows you to acquire more self-esteem and self-awareness. The events that run through the history of a family give a new perspective on life and create solid ground for personal growth. Knowing your ancestors, giving them a name and a role in your family history, makes you feel part of something greater and more wonderful. This is why it will be an honor for us to work on your family genealogical research and to reconnect the threads of a forgotten past that comes back to life in your heart and your memory.
