You do not need illustrious ancestors or noble birth to be passionate about your dynasty. Even if the stories of our ancestors do not tell of great journeys, glorious exploits or extraordinary discoveries, they are always capable of revealing surprising aspects of our past.
Genealogical research is an adventure that gradually takes hold of us and, as the exploration of the meanders of our dynasty branches out and multiplies, it ends up enveloping us in its fascinating coils. The great thing is that you only need a few tools, a few stories and an Internet connection to start this journey through time. Thus begins a patient and painstaking search for a tangible link with our roots, capable of giving us details that are indispensable for preserving memory and also for better understanding who we are today.
Like a consummate detective, Giulia Depentor has learned to navigate through the dusty papers of parish and municipal archives, military records and foreign embassies, interpreting historical photographs and asking key questions to advance her investigation. He has watched the history of his ancestors unfold and take shape, sometimes moved by their fate: he has followed them on ships bound for Brazil, accompanied them through the Cold War, and observed them in their everyday lives of adventure, tragedy and family secrets.  In this book, she guides us through the experiences and stages of his family research, helping us to construct our own personal "detective story". He equips us with methods and tools, teaches us how to find and decipher clues, and infects us with his tireless passion for genealogy as we explore ordinary stories, myths and mysteries.
A word of warning: it is addictive. After the unusual and fascinating journey through the cemeteries of Italy in Immemòriam, Giulia Depentor returns with a new book that will make us our own best historiographers. With her, we will follow the traces of our family past and reconstruct the mosaic of our roots. Our present will take on a new perspective
