What to expect
You'll start with a video or phone call to discuss your family background, what you're hoping to find, and which areas of Abruzzo your ancestors came from. The guide will gather details about names, approximate dates and villages to create a plan. From there, he'll handle archive searches in local records and arrange visits to the towns themselves. Expect a mix of documentary research, ground-level exploration and real conversations with people who may be related to you or who knew your family's story. This isn't a sanitised tour—it's about sitting down with locals, eating what they eat and understanding how your relatives actually lived.
Good to know
This call is a planning session only; the actual ancestry research and tour are separate bookings with their own costs. The guide is a native speaker of the Abruzzese dialect, which matters for gaining trust with older locals. All accessibility features are available, including wheelchair access and transport options suitable for infants and service animals.
