Where Did I Come From?

No, I'm not having an existential crisis! I was thinking about families.

I've always known a lot about my family history, I'm second generation Italian, and my grandmother on the other side extensively recorded our family history, but many people aren't as lucky to have their history so available.

My wonderful boyfriend has recently been trying to find out some more information about his family, where they came from, when they came over to America, but we have been running into some difficulty finding more information. I happened to mention this search to some colleagues - and I found out a history teacher I work with founded a genealogical services company, Root Tracers!

He told me some really fun stories he discovered about his own family, I thought it was so exciting! He also (with almost no info, because as I said, we know next to nothing about my boyfriend's family, I had a last name and a county where I thought his grandparents would be from) has found out some very interesting information. I can't divulge more here, well, because, giving out too much personal information on the internet makes me slightly nervous! Hahaha, no offense intended to the many many totally normal people out there, its just, some people are crazy!

The packages provided by Root Tracers are listed below. If you are interested in finding out more information, check out www.roottracers.com.
