Services
Assistance with Travel to Italy
Help planning, organising and carrying out a trip to your family's places — and, if you wish, to your relatives.
There is a moment in many research projects when the documents are no longer enough, and you want to stand in the street where your great-grandparents lived. I would be glad to help you plan, organise and carry out a trip to Italy — to meet your relatives, or to stay with your family, in the pleasure of discovering your origins.
What the assistance includes
- Suggestions for accommodation
- Artistic excursions in the area
- Practical tips and suggestions for the places connected to your family
- Where relevant, help arranging meetings with the relatives identified during research
Built on the research
A trip is most rewarding when it follows the research: you arrive already knowing which church, which archive and which house matter to your family. Several of my clients have told me they intend to have me as their guide when they travel to Italy — a role I am happy to play.
