Have you ever wondered what it’s like to conduct onsite genealogical research in Italy? Well, the wait is over. Just tune in to GENEALOGY ROADSHOW on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 @ 8:00 PM ET on PBS. We’ve got something special in store for those of you with an interest in Italy and Italian genealogy. ORIGINS ITALY Founder Mary M. Tedesco will host a special segment about conducting Italian genealogical research. You won’t want to miss it. We’re crossing the pond! We’re going international!!
The “Genealogy Roadshow” Italy segment was filmed in Mary Tedesco’s Italian ancestral town of San Pietro a Maida, Catanzaro, Calabria, Italy. Tedesco’s grandfather and great grandparents immigrated from San Pietro a Maida, Italy in the 1920’s. “It was a sincere pleasure to film in San Pietro a Maida, a place in Italy so close to my heart,” says Tedesco.

Hi! Just found you on twitter….your job is so lovely! My father was born in Fiume (now Rijeka) and was raised in Trieste before moving to Texas in 1956. Always, always interested in genealogy. I guess we all have a desire to know where we came from. Anyway, good luck with your Italian segment! How exciting! Bravissima!
