Professional research services in the records located on-site in Italy and Sicily. My next trip is scheduled for April 2013.

The completed report includes a log of locations and records searched and an analysis of the information found and copies or extracts of documents located. On-site research can also include extracts from local phone books or photos of the area as requested. To see some comments from clients, please see www.gentracer.com/references.html. To see a sample report, please see www.gentracer.com/sampleonsitereport.html.


A free research proposal is available upon request, please state details concerning ancestor(s) and goal(s) desired from research project.

Project rates are $700/day for an on-site research project. The cost breaks down as follows:
$200 for airfare to and from Italy and travel expenses within Italy (including trains, buses, car rental, tolls and gas) after division by the 10 client research days on each trip;
$100 for daily lodging and food;
$400 for eight hours of research and report writing on each client research day.

This allows enough funds to cover expenses on weekends (when civil and church record offices are generally closed) and travel time (10 hours by car between Torino and Roma, another 10 hours between Roma and Sicilia on the autostrada in addition to the mileage to each research location).

Rates are payable in advance, payment can be made through the PayPal icon below:

Ms. Kirkpatrick's next on-site research in Southern Italy and Sicily, as well as Northern Italy, is planned for April 2013. See Last Trip for details about the last trip. See Italian Towns for details about the previous trips.

In April, I'm planning to research in Carre, Caselle Torinese, Torino, Castelnuovo Don Bosco, Roma, Ginestra degli Schiavoni, Benevento, Palma Campania, and Catanzaro on the mainland, and Alia, Agrigento, Isola delle Femmine, Motta d'Affermo, Trapani, and Montemaggiore Belsito in Sicily. I'm looking forward to meeting with both American and Italian friends (old and new), as well as returning to favorite places and visiting towns I haven't seen before!
