We offer professional research services in the records located on-site in Italy and Sicily.

The completed report includes a log of locations and records searched, an analysis of the information found, and copies or extracts of the documents located. On-site research can also include extracts from local phone books or photos of the area as requested. Sometimes tourist brochures, maps and/or postcards can be obtained. 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 the ancestor(s) of interest and the goal(s) desired from the 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:
