LE RADICI · OUR ROOTS

We come
from somewhere.
We belong
to each other.

A family story that begins on the Sicilian coast, finds new chapters in Budapest and Montréal, and lives on through the people who remember.

01 / A FAMILY STORY

Before there was a family tree, there were people.

Names on a page are only the beginning. Behind them are homes left behind, new languages learned, relatives gathered around tables, and stories worth keeping.

These pages trace what we know from the family's records. They are a starting point — an invitation to remember, ask questions, and keep adding to our shared history.

02 / THE JOURNEY

Two paths.
One new beginning.

Different places, different histories — and one city that became part of both families' stories.

1955

The family record notes Domenico “Micu” Gucciardo's arrival in Montréal from Siculiana.

1957

The Peter family’s migration from Budapest to Montréal is recorded in the export.

1960

Antonina Castello arrived in Montréal from Siculiana, joining the wider family story in Canada.

03 / THE FAMILY LINE

Follow the thread.

Every generation connects us to a name, a place, a life. Select a person to learn what the records tell us.

SELECT A GENERATION

Family relationships are shown as recorded in the supplied ancestral report. Missing dates indicate information not present in the source, not a confirmed absence of records.

04 / THROUGH THE YEARS

A story told
in moments.

These milestones are drawn from documented dates in the family export. Choose one to read a little more.

05 / FACES & NAMES

More than names.

Photographs make the years feel close. These portraits come from the family document you shared.

Select a portrait to read the details preserved in the family records.

06 / KEEPING OUR STORIES

The best stories
aren't always written down.

There are things that only someone in the family can tell you. Start a conversation. Ask a question. Write down the little details before they're forgotten.
