Episode 35: Origins of Italy With Mary Tedesco

It's human nature to be curious about where we came from. When we start to diagram our family tree, just how far back can we go and where does that lead us to? 

In this episode of the Total Tuscany podcast, you hear from a professional genealogist, Mary Tedesco. Mary was a host on season two of the popular PBS series, Genealogy Roadshow and is the founder of the website Origins Italy.

Mary can help you trace  your family heritage in any country, but her specialty is Italy. Mary speaks fluent Italian and travels often to Italy to conduct client genealogical research and visit family. Mary is also the co-author of "Tracing Your Italian Ancestors" an 84-page Italian research guide published by Moorshead Magazines.

Chances are you have tried Ancestry.com or even Familysearch.org to start your journey back to your family history. Both are excellent resources will definitely point your in the right direction. 

Mary digs deeper than any website search is capable of and in this podcast we talk in great detail about her skill set and how to find family secrets that are just begging to be told.
