Discovering Your Mother's Story.

Mother's Day will soon be here and if you would like to learn more about your maternal roots,there is a genealogical resource section in The Inheritance that might help you.

I've listed websites plus other resources available to get you started on your journey. My ancestry is Italian but the information is applicable to all.

I also blog about practical genealogical tips on my website. In addition I've written non-fiction articles for North American publications that are also available here.

Plus, feel free to contact me with your questions. I am not a professional genealogist but I have been researching my family for twenty years.

The Inheritance was inspired by my grandmother's life in Calabria, southern Italy from 1897 to 1913 prior to her North American emigration.

Discovering her past helped me understand family dynamics and more appreciate the incredible woman my grandmother was.

Thank you.
