I started researching when I was about 10 years old since my mother, a professional genealogist, took me with her to libraries and graveyards for years. I've focused on my husband's Italian ancestors for the past 23 years. Once you find out what town in Italy your relatives came from, the research becomes easier, but sometimes that first step is the hardest.
Services
I love doing Italian research. I also do United States research, especially New England. Contact me for a free consultation and estimate. No project is too small to bother with. If you've done the research, but you wish you knew more about your ancestors' lives, I'd be happy to Tell Their Story based on their lives, the lives of their neighbors, and the events in their community at that time. See my Substack page for samples of my work.
New England - Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island
Parts of New York where my New England relatives ended up and parts of Southern Italy where my relatives came from (online records only).
Besides names and dates, I can Tell Their Story about your ancestor.
