I’m tracing a branch of my family that lived in northern Italy and I need a researcher on the ground – or with proven digital access – who can track down concrete evidence for a handful of people I already know by name and birth date. My goal is clear-cut: locate the official documents that prove each individual’s life events so I can finally connect the dots in our lineage. Here is what I’m after: • Birth records • Marriage records • Death records You’ll be working from the names and birth dates I supply. I’m expecting high-quality scans or certified copies, plus a brief transcription/translation when the source is in Italian or Latin. Experience navigating Italian comune archives, parish registers, and provincial state archives will be crucial, as will familiarity with regional variations in record-keeping.

Hi, I'm specialized on the matter as I've been working on finding roots for the last few years. I cannot just bid for a random price, as the results can never be granted. In order to find documents and making sure you're after the right people (many people have exactly same names but are from different family brunches), we have to talk about it. Discuss what you have already and what you're looking for. I need to know how you got the information and so on. We cannot just search for names. And documents are expensive to collect sometimes, so all this job can be very easy and cheap, or difficult and more expensive. Only by seeing what you have, what you know, who you're looking for and dates I can give you a proper quotation. Please don't believe to anyone that tells you different things. This kind of researches take time and need to know where to look for.

Hello, I'd be glad to help trace your Italian family history and locate the official records needed to document your lineage. My research covers birth, marriage, and death records using civil registration, parish registers, FamilySearch, Antenati, and provincial/state archives. Starting from the names, dates, and references you provide, I'll verify each record, obtain high-quality digital copies whenever available, and deliver accurate transcriptions and English translations of Italian or Latin documents, together with complete source citations. I'm comfortable working with historical Italian records and understand the differences between civil and ecclesiastical archives, including Liguria. Your FamilySearch reference for San Colombano Certenoli (Tribunale di Chiavari) provides an excellent starting point, and I'll use it alongside additional archive searches to connect each individual to the correct records. You'll receive birth, marriage, and death record searches, high-quality scans or digital copies where available, English transcriptions and translations, and detailed source citations with research notes. Estimated turnaround: Initial findings: 3–5 days. Complete research: 1weeks, depending on archive availability and the number of individuals. I look forward to helping you uncover and document your family's history. [Babett Irsai]

Hi! It's an odd coincidence the fact that I have been working with a specific method for completing my genealogical tree the past few months. It's reliable, as long as you know names and birthdays and the cities they lived in most of their lives or they got married in. I mainly work using the archive online, since it collects a lot of data, but I am familiar also with city archives and so on. I think I can really help you based on the data you got! Let me know if you're interested in my proposal, kind regards, Ludovica.

Hello! I have over 5 years of experience working inside the Italian Consulate and Italian Patronato offices, where I handled exactly this type of work: locating birth, marriage, and death records, dealing with Italian municipalities (Comuni), archives, and civil registry offices, as well as translating official documents. I know how Italian records are organized and where to find them efficiently. I can provide reliable research, clear communication, and official documentation whenever available. I'd be happy to help you reconnect your family history. I look forward to working with you.
