Five short steps. We'll reply within 48 hours to schedule a tailored online meeting — no obligation.

Before you start: what you are quoting

The quote covers Rita's work only — the archive research, the documents, the contact with your relatives, and her being beside you to translate. Her fee depends on how much research your family needs, which is why there is no price list.

Flights, hotels, restaurants, car hire and experiences are not part of the fee: they are arranged separately and stay in your name. Rita is glad to point you towards what is worth your time, and she takes no commission from anyone she recommends. Travel and archive fees for the research are reimbursed at cost, with receipts. More on what's included →

If you would like Rita to drive your rental car, she goes on the rental agreement as a named driver — as the main driver, or alongside you, whichever suits the way you book. Without that, the rental company's insurance would not cover a claim. It is a standard box on the contract and we sort it out before you land. How the car works →

1. Which package fits your family?

Don't worry — you can always switch in the conversation that follows.

Research Package Rita works the Italian archives on her own. You stay home and receive the written report. Full Heritage Journey Everything in the Research Package — and you can join Rita in the research — plus Rita beside you in Italy as your personal assistant. I don't have a family tree yet We can suggest you to start one on FamilySearch.org, which is free, before you decide the rest.

2. Pick your optional add-ons.

Skip any you're unsure about — you can ask Rita about them later.

3. Tell us about your family.

A little context goes a long way toward an accurate quote.

Do you already have a family tree?

Known Italian ancestors / surnames / villages Even a single great-grandparent's name and a guess at the town is enough to start.

Would you like to meet living relatives if we find them?

4. Trip preferences (if you're coming).

Leave blank anything that doesn't apply — for example if you're only requesting research.
