A journey through time: the story of Anacleto Pepe
โจ Every genealogical research for us at Abruzzo Ancestors is like investigating our own family. Behind every name and surname that we bring to light, there is a story that deserves to be heard.
In the last few days we have completed a special research: we were only looking for one last piece, the birth certificate of Anacleto Pepe. Abandoned in the wheel of the exposed near the Cathedral of San Giustino in Chieti in 1851, Anacleto was found in very poor condition, wrapped in dirty and worn clothes. We already knew about his story, but rereading those details touched us deeply. ๐
Yet, from that fragility the force of life blossomed: Anacleto lived almost ninety years and gave rise to dozens of descendants. To think that so many today can trace it back to him fills us with wonder!
We are excited to enter the stories of those who have preceded us. Discovering, remembering, giving voice again: this is the most beautiful sense of genealogy. ๐ฑ
