Frequently Asked Questions About Italian Genealogy

Can you help me get Italian dual citizenship?

Yes, we specialize in tracing Italian ancestry and obtaining official records required for dual citizenship applications (citizenship by descent or jure sanguinis). We retrieve certified birth, marriage, and death certificates from Italian municipalities, ensure proper translations and apostilles, and help you document your unbroken lineage from your Italian ancestor to you.

What documents do I need to trace my Italian ancestry?

To begin Italian genealogy research, we typically need basic information about your Italian ancestor(s): full names, approximate birth/death dates, and Italian region or town of origin if known. We can help you find birth certificates, marriage records, immigration papers, and naturalization documents from both Italy and the United States based on your family's specific region of origin and emigration date.

How long does Italian genealogy research take?

Research timelines vary depending on project scope and record availability. Simple document retrievals may take 4-8 weeks, while comprehensive family tree projects spanning multiple generations can take 3-6 months. Italian dual citizenship research typically requires 2-4 months to gather all necessary documents from Italian government offices.

Do you work with all regions of Italy?

Yes, we conduct genealogy research across all 20 Italian regions, including Sicily, Lombardy, Campania, Lazio, Veneto, Piedmont, Calabria, Puglia, and more. Each region has unique record-keeping systems and archives, which we navigate expertly to find your family's documents.
