We are ready to find
YOUR
Italian Ancestors

       Over the years my husband and I have had so many requests for help in researching families in northern Italy.  In the past we have turned away those seeking our services until our own research was completed.  We are now ready to find your family and with over 12 years of experience tracing Italian ancestors, we are confident we can help!

        Let us track down the documents, sort the information and create the charts you want.  We like spending time scrolling through films and searching the many online data bases.  Let us decipher the old hand writing and come up with all the pieces to your family puzzle.

       Contact us for your free review of your information.  There is no charge for this review and we can usually let you know within a week if you have enough information for us to begin a research project for you .  

        If your review shows us that we have a good possibility of locating your family then we charge a flat $400 for the research.  There are never any hidden charges or surprises in the end.

Our fee includes all of the following services:
  1. A Beginning Consultation - We want to be sure that that everyone understands the area of research you want done.  It is important to understand and put in writing what it is that you want us to accomplish and ensure that you are happy with our work.
  2. All the Research - As we search the records, photocopies of important records will be made and sources will be clearly referenced for you.  You will get a  detailed explanation of our notes in regards to all the sources so that you can recreate any of our research for yourself if you would like to.
  3. Evaluation of Findings - Based on evaluations of the records, certain conclusions can be made about what was found and what it all means for your family. We will be examining as many documents as possible to lead us to some form of proof, or at the very least, very good assumption.  All assumed dates and places, based on these evaluations, will be noted as an estimate and an explanation of the estimate will be given to you.
  4. Forms and  Charts - You get pedigree charts and family group sheets to help you better understand the family relationships that have been found. These will be put in a three-ringed binder in archival sheet protectors and you will own the right to duplicate them for your family members as you would like.  We do not copyright our research, it is your family so you own the research.
  5. Photocopies of all Relevant Documents - We always provide you with photocopies of all source records found.  These photocopies are yours to duplicate for your own needs and desires.  If there are original documents that can be obtained, we will provide you with all the information you need to get them.
  6. Sharing of Research Results - We can help you share your information with others through the many GenWeb communities on the Internet or through genealogical societies, such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) Ancestral File™ by uploading your data to those systems.   No uploading will happen unless you request it.

How long will it take?

        We plan on at least fifteen hours of research and another five to ten hours to organize your binder with the documents and research notes.  We will keep in touch through e-mails and give you weekly updates.  Generally we need about 4 weeks to complete the work and we will let you know if it will take longer.

        Everything is included in our $400 fee and there are never any hidden charges or added expenses to surprise you when it is all done.  

        Why are we only asking $400 for what could be 20 - 25 hours of work and NOTHING extra for expenses?  Because we love this work.  You know the old saying . . .

“If you love what you do then you never have to work a day in your life.” 

        Well that is how we feel when we do Genealogy research. 

        If you would like us to find your Italian ancestors, then let's get started!!
