Frequently Asked Questions
01What if our family has mixed heritage—for example, an Italian father and an Irish mother?
That is the norm for American families. In a Lineage Edition (from $1,690), we trace multiple ancestral branches in parallel—crossing into whichever US and European archives each branch requires—and show how those separate immigrant worlds converged in America.
02Do you translate foreign-language records into English inside the book?
Always. When we retrieve an original record written in Italian, French, German Kurrentschrift, Latin, Polish, or Russian Cyrillic, we reproduce the authentic historical document on the page and place a clear transcription and English translation right beside it.
