Professional research services in the records located on-site in Italy and Sicily. My next trip is scheduled for November 2010.

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.


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

Project rates are $650/day for an on-site research project. The cost breaks down as follows:
$180 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;
$90 for daily lodging and food;
$380 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 Rome and Sicily on the autostrada in addition to the mileage to each research location and the flight between Sicily and Paris at the end of the trip).

Rates are payable in advance, payment can be made through the PayPal icon below:
Or, payment can be made by sending check or money order for $650.00 (US) to:

Ms. Kirkpatrick's next on-site research in Southern Italy and Sicily is planned for November 2010. I expect to work in Northern Italy again in November. See Last Trip for details about the last trip. See Italian Towns for details about the previous trips.

So far...I'm planning to research in and around Torino, Milano and Pordenone in the North. Then down to Lucca, Florence American Cemetery, Roma, Cassino, Gaeta, Salerno, and Nicastro on the mainland, and Sambuca di Sicilia, Motta Sant'Anastasia, Canicatti, and San Giuseppe Jato 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!

My latest book on CD is titled Sicily, Part 1 and Part 2 is now available on 2 CDs. With a file for each town (plus many other files), it relates the history of Sicily as reflected in the photos, records and festivals of its towns. It contains over 2500 text and photo files and can be ordered at CD order.
