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.
