Finding Your Italian Roots with Bella Italia Genealogy

I worked with Alessandro several years ago to help me get through some roadblocks. Listen to hear a great story about St. Lucy and how to get a significant discount until Dec 31.

Family – famiglia: maybe no other term can make it up any better to express my sense of belonging to the place I come from. Famiglia has always been the place where I leave from on every trip – and that is the place where I am glad to get back to when feeling you need to go home. Famiglia has been covering a place of its own in my heart ever since I was born – but what is that makes family so special? What can you call as being famiglia at the largest extent as you know it?

Back in 2006, there came a day when I started getting so much curious about those lines in the famiglia which I had never questioned myself about. It was then when my father told me that a great-uncle of mine went to America through Ellis Island that I realized I really wanted to discover who I am and where I come from.

I would never imagine where that research path would have brought me to. At that time, as an Italy-born taking his very dirst steps in family history research, I couldn’t expect the thrills of meeting second cousins in the States who had been waiting for decades to be greeted by their Italian family – and whose names had been so long unknown to me.
