Heritage Visit To Valguarnera Caropepe

·

One of my favorite things is to connect my clients to their heritage. Even better is when we can unite someone with a distant relative. Yesterday, thanks to our local insider in Valguarnera Caropepe, Paolo, Maryann met Franca, her third cousin for the first time! They share the same third greatgrandparents. Tears all around! Just beautiful!

Grazie Paolo per un giorno indimenticabile!
