I have been my family's "historian" for more than 40 years, having caught the bug when I was still in my 20s.

I currently live in Littleton, Colorado. But my family ties (by blood and marriage) extend to California, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Iowa, Italy and England.

My personal lines hail from Sezze, Latina and Ravanusa, Sicily. My wife's lines are broadly English, Polish and German.
