Jennifer has been fantastic. I had always known that my mother’s parents were from Cerda in Sicily and I did some investigation using FamilySearch and Ancestry but was never able to locate original documents about them and their relatives. Given the basic information I was able to find, Jennifer was quickly able to trace back and then forward and found many original birth, death and marriage records for my ancestors. The report she provided me was fantastic with the English translations of all the documents that she found. She even put me in touch with a local researcher who was able to find living relatives still in Cerda. We never knew it but my mother had two living cousins there. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking to investigate your Sicilian heritage. – Dusty R.

We’ve been working with Jennifer for a long time and she never ceases to amaze us with the information she finds about our family. She is dogged and diligent, and obviously loves what she does.

I first started working with Jennifer in the fall of 2016 when I decided to begin the process of having my Italian citizenship recognized. She was an invaluable resource. Truly, I don’t know how I would have navigated the process without her. From getting birth records from Italy, to knowing what forms to fill out when, she was unwavering in her knowledge and support through the entire process. There were several hiccups along the way, including getting stuck in limbo between the state of MA and the town where my grandfather died, both of whom felt it was the other’s responsibility to amend his death record, and the LA consulate asking for records that couldn’t exist. She expertly navigated every hurdle and I’m thrilled to say that I finally received recognition in January 2020 and received my passport the following August. Her services are worth every penny, and honestly I would have paid double what she charged.

It has been wonderful to have had Jennifer as a researcher for over ten years.  She is thorough and comprehensive in her reports.  She is detailed in transcribing records and goes much beyond in adding an objective centered on the focus of a client’s wishes and direction.  She is absolutely phenomenal in her craft as a researcher!

Jennifer solved a mystery that had been haunting my family for decades.  We would have never gotten the answers for which we were so desperately searching without her dogged determination and unending patience.  Jennifer treated the situation like it was personal to her, not just a job for someone else.  It is clear she loves what she does, which is probably why she is so good at doing it.

Jennifer was great to work with.  She is excellent with communication and attention to detail.  If you are looking to fill in the branches of your Sicilian family tree send Jennifer an email to learn more about what she does, you’ll be so glad you did!

Jennifer helped me with my family tree, not just in obtaining the records but in translating them as well. She managed to go back as far as the 1600’s in some cases. She’s the best, I couldn’t have done it without her.

I’ve worked with Jennifer since September 2017 to untangle my Sicilian history which was fairly challenging largely due to the misdirection of previous generations. Jennifer is a very knowledgeable professional genealogist and is able to provide English translations of Sicilian records which is well worth the modest fees charged. She was able to solve the mystery of my biological great grandfather allowing another completely unknown family line to come to light. Amazingly, her research led to the realization that she and I, complete strangers when this journey began, are cousins by marriage, sharing the same Sicilian 4^th great grandparents! I strongly recommend Jennifer and Sicilian Family Tree.
