Win an Italian Genealogy Research Project!

In celebration of Italian American heritage month, the Sons of Italy® is giving away an Italian genealogy research project valued at $1,500 and donated by My Italian Family.

When you join the Sons of Italy® as a new national at-large member, renew your at-large membership, or give the gift of at-large membership via www.osia.org during October, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win a choice between two research projects. Winner will be drawn at random on November 4.

Winner may choose one (1) of the following My Italian Family research projects:

Do you ever imagine your Italian Ancestors? The winner of the "Five Generations Back" Research Project will receive a complete picture of his/her family history (back to the 1700s) with copies of old records, photos of the town and the neighborhood where the family lived, information on what the Ancestors did for a living, including the meaning of the surname. Final results will be presented in the form of a Family Book that can be cherished for generations. Click here to learn more and select "Research my Family 5 Generations Back".
Hoping you'll get the opportunity to find your Living Italian Relatives? Diana Burdisso, last year's winner, was able to reconnect to her relatives in her Ancestral town of Bene Vagienna, bringing the treasure of her family history and its proud heritage alive for her children and grandchildren. Included in the research results are a family chart; your family story; copies of family documents (based on Italian privacy laws); and names with addresses and phone numbers of living relatives if the research results in a direct link.
