Specializing in tracing Italian ancestry (document preparation for dual citizenship application), midwest genealogy research and ancestral heritage trip planning. I can help you trace your family's roots, uncovering rich histories and connecting you to your past with expert research, storytelling and personalized insights based on your unique goals.
What makes my services unique from other genealogists?
Deep Expertise in Italian Records:
Many genealogists specialize broadly, but my expertise with Italian regional records, church archives, and understanding of Italian naming conventions is invaluable to anyone seeking to trace their roots back to Italy.
Missouri/Midwest History Expertise:
I have specialized knowledge of Missouri’s unique history, local archives, and historical events provides you with a distinct niche. I have a deep understanding of Missouri’s development, including its immigrant communities, African-American history, and rural roots.
Ancestral Heritage Trip Planning:
I specialize in helping clients visit the homes, villages, and historical sites where their ancestors lived, offering an unforgettable journey through their family’s past. These trips are not just vacations—they are immersive experiences designed to reconnect you with your heritage in a way that brings your family’s history to life.
Cemetery & Burial Records Search:
I provide "on the ground" support in locating and photographing gravesites and hard to find cemetery records, and obituaries to provide additional context and details about you ancestors’ lives. Fun fact - I am also trained in gravestone cleaning.
Fast Historical Record Retrieval:
I offer quick and efficient ordering and pickup of vital records such as birth, marriage, death certificates, and other legal documents (such as land or probate) to verify family connections.
