Italians have been coming to North America since the original discoverer, Cristoforo Colombo, in 1492. From then until now, more than 5.3 million Italians 
entered the United States. As of 2006, the Italian-American population climbed to 17.8 million people constituting 6 percent of the population. Italian Family Search is a premier online resource for people interested in Italian Genealogy and Dual Citizenship. Our logo,"Chi Cerca Trova", is an Italian proverb meaning, He who seeks shall find. The pursuit of one’s ancestors can be very rewarding even addictive. Our goal at Italian Family Search is to help Italian-Americans trace their roots back to Italy. In the search of your Italian ancestors you will come to understand the history and culture of Italy, and with that, the motivations of your ancestors. They become much more than faceless names. Their records are waiting for you to find and to tell you their stories.
