Memories

I started doing genealogical research for my ancestral roots in 1992. The main reason was that my relatives were unclear where our great-grandfather was actually born. They were sure that it wasn't Como then Montervarchi, At that time, I was residing in Rome, so I target those cities and left to Como, the farthest city and since I did not find him there, I came down to Montevarchi, the priest from an old church there told me that my family came from Firenze, that was because my GGfather gives birth to Enrico their second son. The next day I headed to the Archivio di Stato di Firenze where finally found the lost missing link in our family.

Since that time, I began to gather more information about our family and relatives reaching over a thousand blood relatives. The biggest source and "living computer" that provides me every name and date from all relatives is my beloved father who keeps everything in his memory. Just by asking him about any relative, he would tell you the exact born data, the birth order, whose child they were, whom they married, and many more details.

This is how I started creating my first family tree, and in 2008, I created my family tree on https://www.geni.com/

The second person who helped me understand who was who in our close living relatives was my sister Patricia, who gave me names, addresses, and telephone numbers handwritten by her.

Since then I got dedicated myself to going deep discovering our roots in the heart of Firenze. Thus getting documents are the essence and proof leaving behind any myth.

Special thanks to http://archivio.operaduomo.fi.it/battesimi/ that was the first source to find my paternal relatives' baptismal acts, I've spent many sleepless nights just to find them one by one.

The second website that I'm gateful as it has helped me a lot is https://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/ here I continue getting wedding and death acts from my all above mentioned relatives.

Around 2010 I got in contact with Bianca Ottone the founder of https://www.myitalianfamily.com/research-your-family asking her to reseach for a relative that I wanted to find, but later on we got in a deeper research for the whole family in Firenze. During the research I gave her my GG-father's family picture to be displayed in her website. I appreciate her for all the professional job provided. Here is a video about what she does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig4s2eEdsT0
