Genealogy isn’t just about digging for facts. It’s about telling our family stories. Finding your Italian roots and family history can be one of your most gratifying undertakings. Whether you seek to trace your family going back centuries or just want to know from where your Italian-American story starts, your journey will prove to be challenging but ultimately fascinating. You can learn much about your Italian legacy and culture and also discover the history behind what made your ancestors leave the Old Country and settle elsewhere. To assist you on your journey, keep in mind the analogy of a tree to describe your family and its roots. Your journey will be “climbing the family tree”.
