Born in Rochester, NY in the early 1970's - I am the youngest child of a 1st generation Italian American - Dr. Joseph Guzzetta and a "just off the plane" Dane - Kirsten Knudsen.
I am on a quest to learn more about my family history on both sides of the Atlantic and hopefully solve a few "family mysteries" along the way.
Always happy to help out - If anyone has any questions, comments or just wondering "how are we related" Please feel free to let me know.
