Start with what you have
A free guide for anyone who wants to understand their Italian family story, even if all you have is a surname
Maybe it's a town name your grandmother used to say, a photo with no date on the back, or a box of documents you've never quite read.
Maybe you're thinking of going to Italy and want the trip to mean something.
This short guide will help you take stock of what you already have, understand where the rest of the story is usually kept in Italy, and see what it could become: research, a journey, or something you write down for your family.
Inside:
How to take stock of the fragments already in your family
Where Italian records are kept, and where online platforms stop
Five common missteps, and how to avoid them
A sample 7-day roots journey
