Ever dream of visiting your ancestral towns? Here is a Do-It-Yourself guide to help you make that dream trip a reality! With insights and practical steps to get the most out of visiting your Italian ancestral towns from an experienced genealogist and ancestry tour guide, this book prepares you on the pre-trip genealogy research, travel planning, and what to do and look for once you're in Italy.
Insightful advice from an expert who is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and who has guided hundreds of clients around their ancestral towns in Italy, he tells you what you can do to prepare for your visit to Italy and how to make the most of your visit- what you should see in the places where your ancestors lived, along with stories of others who have also had this memorable experience themselves.
For more than a decade, Bryan and his wife Valerie have been helping people to learn more about their ancestry in southern Italy and in that time we have helped hundreds of their clients to plan and enjoy a truly unique experience while visiting their ancestral towns. There is something very special, almost mystical, in being there, in seeing the places their ancestors saw and knew so well, in walking the streets they trod daily, and being inside the churches where they were baptized, married and where they may have worshiped weekly with their family members and townsfolk.
Truly, visiting your ancestral towns can be rewarding and one of the most touching experiences of your life. And Bryan Schneider is just the person to help you. The guide is easy to read and use, and packs lots of advice in a small, manageable booklet.
