Welcome to a website that I have dreamed for many years of
bringing to those who are searching for their ancestry in the
comune of Senerchia. I can take credit for the dream, but not
for all the work to soon be found on this site. The contributions
here come from many kind Italian descendants and a few friends
made along the way who have believed in this project, but who
have no family whatsoever from Italy or from Senerchia.
I began the search for my ancestry many years ago. As we all
experience, the living of life takes place and we try to fit
everything into a few hours a day. We make room for all the things
we think we "have" to do and often put off the things
we "want" to do. Over the years, I have attempted to
spend as much time as possible in the search of many lines of
my family tree. I have gathered much information and hope to
be able to provide a link from me and my children and my brother,
to those of you who are related to ancestors from Senerchia.
I know in my heart that we are finding links to our extended
family.
I dedicate all the work here of the things I have done and
the creation of this website to my dear mother who passed away
in 1987 and to her Italian family who came before her. The absence
of just one of them would mean that we wouldn't be here. Whether
I come closer to knowing my extended family in the physical,
I know they are closer in my heart, no matter the distance or
time. This has been and still is a journey of love, and a journey
to bring results to those who haven't had the ability to find
them on their own. Hopefully, through this website and the contributions
of many, you will find a link to your past and to your present.
Please join my friends as we take a walk back into the history
of our Italian families. Some items will bring tears of sadness
and others will bring tears of joy that only connecting with
families we have never known can bring. I hope you enjoy the
adventures here as they unfold.
