After a meticulous study of your ancestors, a unique, colorful, PDF will be created from the evidence of centuries of your family's past. The photos, maps, documents, translations, and charts, are accompanied by descriptive narratives derived from your family's own words and records. These have been shared with family members and used as gifts for children as permanent evidence of their Italian roots. Success depends on the availability of Italian records, you will be apprised of this at the outset and routinely updated.

Testimonials
I asked Loretta to research my mother's ancestry in southern Italy. Loretta exceeded my expectations. I had run into a brick wall, since I neither read nor speak Italian; all I knew was that my maternal grandfather and grandmother had both migrated from the small town of Aliano in the region of Basilicata. Loretta traced my ancestry back to my great-great-grandparents and filled in a lot of blanks. Her final report included not only an extensive family tree but additional notes, documents (both original and translations) and an extensive bibliography. She also included explanations of the background information. (I must add that her fee was quite reasonable considering the amount of work she did.) Along the way, we had several email exchanges which added to my positive experience. It was a joy working with her.

Truly incredible.
Loretta went above and beyond providing me with exactly what I was hoping to learn. Along the way, I was given friendly updates, it felt almost collaborative. I learned more than I ever thought I could about my ancestors through her knowledge and personalized research. The entire experience made me emotional, I felt truly transported.
The value of her services is unmatched. This was some of the best money I have ever spent!
