Genealogy Research Service

The past, accessible to everyone.

Work with a genealogist who was born and raised in Sicily.

I'm Giuseppe Sorbello, founder and genealogist of Sicilian Ancestry. I was born and raised in Sicily, where I developed direct knowledge of the island's history, archives, and local communities.

Over the past twenty years, I have completed thousands of hours of genealogical research for clients around the world. My specialization in genetic genealogy allows me to combine traditional documentary research with DNA evidence to address complex research questions.

I am a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and have worked with AncestryProGenealogists. I also conducted research for the U.S. and Australian editions of "Who Do You Think You Are?" in 2017 and 2022.

No Upfront Research Fee

For standard research, no advance payment is required because results cannot be guaranteed. You pay only when the agreed research is completed successfully. If we cannot produce the agreed result, there is no research fee.

Why choose us?

Our team is composed of members of the Association of Professional Genealogists and researchers who collaborate with Ancestry and Legacy Tree Genealogists, two major genealogy research organizations.
