"Special day for Abruzzo Ancestors! 🌟 Today we had the pleasure of showing Anna, a proud Italian-American resident of the United States, the original certificates of her grandparents from Introdacqua and Sulmona. We were able to retrieve the parish and civil records, which will allow us to reconstruct her family history back to the 1600s! 📚🔍 Genealogical research is an exciting journey that takes us to discover the roots of our family and better understand our history. We're thrilled to be helping Anna discover her Italian heritage and create a complete family tree. Thanks to Anna for choosing Abruzzo Ancestors for her genealogical research. We're honored to be able to help families discover their roots and preserve their history, no matter where they are in the world. 🌳 "

The religious traditions of Abruzzo are the soul of this land, with roots that go deep into history and culture. Our grandparents and great-grandparents have passed down these ancient traditions, which are a precious heritage for our region.

In the photo, the Mayetelli festival for the feast of San Rocco in Manoppello, in the province of Pescara, where an auction is held to contribute to the organization of the festival. These traditions are an example of how the community comes together to celebrate its faith and identity.

Abruzzo Ancestors made my families research in Teramo problem free! Quick to reply to my first email, David Castellucci and his team were genuinely interested in providing the information I was after. There were no language barriers as English was always available for communication. This journey of researching my families ancestry has me more excited than ever visiting where my ancestors footsteps lived hundreds of years ago! From the bottom of heart thank you Abruzzo Ancestors for all your hard work and awakening the spirit of my Italian roots! I have a much better appreciation for the sacrifices of my grandparents leaving which was so familiar to them in Abruzzo and immigrating to an unknown country, America! Having to wait a year to visit beautiful Castilenti and its people in Teramo is going to be way too long!

🇬🇧 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 ❤️
