Imagine this: you're sixteen, flipping through an old book of remembrance when a dormant curiosity awakens inside you, setting you on a lifelong journey of discovery. This was precisely the catalyst for our guest, Marcus Flansburg, who was captivated by his LDS grandmother's book and embarked on an incredible expedition into Italian genealogy. From uncovering online Italian civil records to enrolling in BYU Idaho's family history research program, and transitioning from a law enforcement career to retirement, Marcus' journey has been nothing short of riveting.
Venturing with Marcus into the heart of Italy, we traverse through his ancestral hometowns, visit town halls and cemeteries, and uncover heartwarming stories like his long-lost great-grandfather and the discovery of an unknown picture.

We discuss the distinctive customs, languages, and even physical traits of Italians, shedding light on the historical event of Verbicaro's cholera riot in 1911. Marcus' incredible story of using DNA research and family records to uncover his great grandfather's identity is a testament to the power of genealogy.
