Your Roots in Tuscany with Genealogical Research

19 February 2024

2 minutes

Come and discover your roots in Tuscany for yourself! Nothing can replace the thrill of walking the roads your ancestors walked and exploring the places they called home.

Imagine being able to meet distant relatives, share family stories, and rediscover bonds that have been maintained over generations.

The first months of the year are the right time to start a genealogical research and visits to the places of family origin: If you are in Tuscany during this period it can be a suitable time to start or continue genealogical research and visit places related to family history.

Discover your roots in Tuscany!

And we can help! What? Through:

  • Genealogical Archives and Resources: the beginning of the year is an ideal time to visit the State Archives or libraries of Tuscany. These places often hold documents, parish records, birth, marriage, and death certificates that could contain valuable information about family history.
  • Online search and contacts: Even if it is not possible to physically travel to Tuscany, it could be the perfect time to start genealogical research online, consult specialized websites, or contact local associations that could help you in your search for family roots.
  • Visits to places of family origin: If, on the other hand, you already have information about villages, towns or specific places related to family history in Tuscany, this period still offers a less crowded opportunity to visit them and to discover more about the daily life and historical roots of your family.
  • Churches and cemeteries: Local churches and cemeteries can be important sources of information for family history research. Visiting these places might reveal details about local families, names, dates, and relationships.
  • Seeking family contacts: It may also be a good time to attempt to establish contact with relatives or acquaintances who may still be living in Tuscany or have useful information about family history.
  • Consult with experts: If genealogy research is complex or requires specific expertise, it may be helpful to consult with local experts or genealogists who can offer assistance and advice in finding family roots.

Discover your roots in Tuscany thanks to genealogical research and book your roots trip!
