As of April next year, I will have been working on my famly history for 50 years, since I was a teenager. I started by asking my grandfather, who came from Italy, to write down what he could about his and my grandmother's families. His writing down what he could recall on that yellow tablet is where my journey began.Since then I have met with, phoned, and corresponded with many wonderful people and visited many places on this family trek. I have also assisted my wife the past 35 years with her family history and have enjoyed the many experiences on this journey. I look forward to continuing this work as long as possible.
