The complete picture — as far back as we can go.
Our most comprehensive package, Platinum goes further than any other — in every sense. Where our other packages research back to 1820 using civil records, Platinum pushes deeper into the past using parish church records, gravestone inscriptions, local historical documents, old newspapers and the kind of local knowledge that only comes from living and working in Sicily your entire life.
Pre-1820 research is genuinely specialist work. It means visiting churches, consulting priests, handling centuries-old handwritten registers, and piecing together fragments of lives lived long before modern record-keeping existed. Not every researcher can do it — and not every researcher is based in the towns where your ancestors actually lived.
What's included:
Detailed overview of each family member discovered, including birth, marriage, death and burial details
Downloadable, printable family tree
Scans of relevant supporting documents*
Scans of additional evidence uncovered during research*
Physical grave location, photography and GPS coordinates*
Photography of ancestral homes, streets and locations*
Pre-1820 research using parish records, local archives and historical sources
A written family narrative covering all generations discovered
A personal introduction to any living relatives we locate who may wish to connect with you
A video presentation of your findings — we'll walk you through everything we've discovered, face to face
Where appropriate, known, accessible and available
How it works: Same process as our other packages — share what you know, we'll handle everything else. No upfront payment required.
