🇬🇧 Rick had a wish: to reconnect with his Abruzzese roots.

📜His great-grandfather Orazio took his very first steps at number 15, Vico delle Viole, in Civitella Casanova. Meanwhile, his great-grandmother Elisa's ancestral ties led us to the enchanting Renaissance village of Pacentro.

✨We had the honor of guiding Rick through this journey back in time — a path made of alleys, stories, and family memories that moved us all deeply.

🇮🇹 Rick aveva un desiderio: riconnettersi con le sue radici abruzzesi.

📜Il suo bisnonno Orazio mosse i primi passi al numero 15 di Vico delle Viole, a Civitella Casanova, mentre le antiche origini della sua bisnonna Elisa affondano nel cuore del borgo rinascimentale di Pacentro.

✨Abbiamo avuto il privilegio di accompagnarlo in questo viaggio nel tempo, tra vicoli, storie e memorie familiari che hanno emozionato tutti noi.

📜 Some journeys don’t begin with a map, but with the desire to rediscover a part of oneself. That’s how Dan Richard and John arrived in Manoppello, the village their grandfather Donato Cipressi left behind in 1903, bound for Pennsylvania. Here, each step brought them closer to the soul of their family story.

📍 They stood before Donato’s birthplace, still standing after all these years, as if it had been patiently waiting for their return.

🚶‍♂️ As they wandered through the historic center and the remains of the Roman villa, they walked not only through history, but through their own ancestry.

📜 At Manoppello’s Town Hall, they were warmly welcomed by the local authorities and had the chance to explore original documents from their grandfather’s past—precious records that seemed to breathe in their hands, thanks to the support of Deputy Mayor Giulia De Lellis

📖 In the parish archives, they discovered the handwritten entry of Donato’s marriage—words preserved across time that now speak directly to the heart.

🍷 Their journey continued to Scafa, where the visit to Duchi Di Castelluccio "Tenuta Cipressi" offered a sensory celebration: among vineyards and oak barrels, they tasted the flavor of the land that still runs in their veins.

But the most touching moment came when, thanks to an in-depth genealogical search, we arranged a meeting with a long-lost cousin. Antonella welcomed them into her home with warmth and grace, turning a distant past into something suddenly alive.

💫 Every moment of this journey has woven a quiet thread between past and present, memory and identity.

A heartfelt thank you to Antonella for her genuine hospitality, to the Municipality of Manoppello and Deputy Mayor Giulia De Lellis for their kind support, and to Tenuta Cipressi for such a memorable tasting experience.

[🇬🇧] When Michael Trasatti and his wife Tami Levin Trasatti reached out to us, there were only 7 days left before their arrival in Italy.
They had one heartfelt wish: to uncover their family’s roots, visit the birthplace of Francesco Trasatti—born in 1892 in Isola del Gran Sasso—and meet their Italian cousins.

We worked around the clock. And in the end, we made it happen!

We took them to the very house where Francesco—Mike’s grandfather—was born, nestled among the majestic Abruzzo mountains.
There, surrounded by embraces, emotions, and long-lost stories, a small miracle of memory came to life.

🫂 It was more than just a visit. It was a homecoming — and one we’ll never forget ❤️

[🇮🇹] Quando Mike Trasatti e sua moglie Tami Levin Trasatti ci hanno contattati, mancavano solo 7 giorni al loro arrivo in Italia.
Avevano un sogno: scoprire le origini della loro famiglia, visitare il luogo dove nacque Francesco Trasatti nel 1892, a Isola del Gran Sasso, e incontrare i loro cugini italiani.

Noi di Abruzzo Ancestors abbiamo lavorato senza sosta, rendendo possibile il loro sogno.

Li abbiamo accompagnati proprio lì, tra le montagne abruzzesi, nella casa dove Francesco — nonno di Mike — venne alla luce oltre un secolo fa.
Lì, tra abbracci, emozioni, sorrisi e racconti ritrovati, si è compiuto un piccolo miracolo della memoria, e siamo felici di averlo reso possibile.

🫂 Un incontro che porteremo nel cuore ❤️

[🇬🇧] 📜✨ Abruzzo Ancestors at the University of Teramo! ✨📜

🔸 Yesterday, our team had the incredible opportunity to join a Digital History class at the Department of Communication Sciences at the University of Teramo. It was an exciting experience to introduce students to our work in genealogy and historical research, showing how the tools we use – from digital technologies to on-site investigations – allow us to reconstruct family histories and create their family books in the best way possible.

The students’ enthusiasm and active participation were truly inspiring! Their curiosity and keen interest in family history reaffirm how important it is to keep our connection with the past alive.

A huge thank you to the University of Teramo and its students for this amazing day of exchange and learning! 💙
