A Journey Through History
Genealogical research in Italy is often an exciting and rewarding experience as the country holds some of the best available records in Europe. Parish registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials are available in many Roman Catholic church parishes from about 1595, and records of civil registration are widely available from about 1809. These records provide the foundation for any project in Italy, but published histories, military records, immigration files, heraldry records, passenger lists, censuses, and other types of records are also helpful to building a family tree in Italy and other countries where members of the Italian diaspora settled.
Using many of the sources outlined above, we've documented various Italian families that have been prominent in the country's history over the past several hundred years. Over the course of our research, we've uncovered a large amount of information on surnames like di Saluzzo, di Savoia, del Monferrato, d'Este, and di Ceva from about the year 800 CE. This project has taken us down many interesting paths leading to places like Turin, Milan, Ceva, Saluzzo, Savona, and Sardinia, and as our research continues to unfold, we will no doubt make many more discoveries that will be of interest to those wishing to learn more about their Italian ancestry and heritage.
If you would like to learn more about your own family history and are interested in building a high-quality and well-documented genealogy that goes back to its earliest origins in Italy, we're available to help you achieve something similar to what you've found on this website. We love what we do and would welcome the opportunity to assist you in finding your family tree, and in creating an exciting record of your ancestors that can be enjoyed by your family for many generations to come.
