Genealogy Research in Southern ItalyWhat is genealogy research
Genealogy, the research of our roots, both genetical and cultural. From the dusty, crumbling papers of documents people who belong to what we now are come out of the mist of time and look at us silently, affectionately, waiting for someone to decipher their stories, rescue them from oblivion and pass their as yet forgotten names and stories on to the next generations.
