Museo Del Cognome — Family History Museum Padula Italy

 

What’s the reason behind the opening of a family history museum as the Museo del Cognome? Which archives to visit and which records collections to check? Stories and tips to avoid getting lost. This and much more in this latest podcast. Michele Cartusciello is a professional genealogist and enthusiast in local traditions and cultures too. My interest in family history started in 1984 when I first stepped into the Registry Office of my hometown, Padula, a beautiful medieval town located 100 km far Salerno, in Campania, Italy. My quest to learn more about my lineage and to create my family tree led me to visit plenty of archives such as registry offices, parishes, and state archives. My dream of a lifetime came true in 2012 when I opened the Museo del Cognome – Family History Museum.
