Professional Italian Genealogy Services
Bespoke Italian genealogical and archival research for families worldwide, combining documentary evidence, historical context and personal attention.
Choose the Right Italian Genealogy Service
Italian Roots Research provides professional Italian genealogy services for families, descendants, historians, citizenship applicants and legal professionals around the world. Based in Milan, I work with Italian civil records, parish registers, diocesan collections, state archives and other historical sources. Research may be conducted through digitized collections, direct communication with Italian institutions or in person when archival access is required.
Each service is tailored to your objective, the information already available and the intended use of the records. If you are unsure which service you need, share what you know and I will recommend the most appropriate starting point.

What Makes Italian Roots Research Different
Italian genealogy requires more than access to databases. It requires knowledge of Italian records, historical jurisdictions, local institutions, surname variations and documents written in different periods and languages.
Based in Italy
Based in Milan, I communicate directly with Italian municipalities, parishes and archives and conduct in-person research when required.
Genealogical and Historical Analysis
Names, dates, places and family relationships are compared across multiple sources before conclusions are presented.
Italian and Latin Paleography
Historical handwriting, abbreviations and terminology are examined to interpret civil, parish and notarial records accurately.
Clear International Communication
International clients receive clear explanations, progress updates and documented results in English throughout the project.
Professional Standards
Research is conducted according to professional genealogical standards, with complete source references and transparent limitations.
Discretion and Confidentiality
Personal documents, family information and research findings are handled with care, discretion and professional confidentiality.

Bespoke Family History Projects
For clients seeking a complete, multi-generational reconstruction of their Italian family history, I offer bespoke research projects extending beyond individual records and standard research packages.
Each private commission is developed around the family’s objectives and may explore multiple generations, migrations, residences, occupations, property and the social world in which the ancestors lived.
The final result is presented in a detailed illustrated report designed to preserve and transmit the family’s documented history to future generations.
