As a proud 50 percent Italian I am fully entitled to live up to all the Italian-American stereotypes.  This includes an especially strong interest in my heritage. Although, I’m still not sure if I’m interested for bragging rights because it’s always cool to say exactly where you’re from in Italy, or if I’ll eventually put together some type of family tree.

Either way, I came across what seems like a pretty interesting guide to genealogy. It provides information on how to research records and piece together your Italian heritage. All I know is when I looked through my grandma’s archival materials, I found enough references to Anthony’s and Luigi’s to name 10 more families.
