🇮🇹 Why I Join Team Italy (And Maybe You Should Too)

I usually join Team Italy—a friendly, focused group that’s a little smaller in size but big on enthusiasm! While team names often reflect geographic or cultural interests, you can work on any part of your family tree. Personally, I always have plenty of Italian records to connect… not to mention my ever-growing U.S. branches.

Whether you have ancestors from Sicily or South Dakota, there’s a team that’ll fit your research and vibe.
