Ariana Franco

Ariana provides personalized genealogical research services to individuals interested in learning more about their family history. She is also available for subcontracting with other genealogists when needed. Services include developing focused objective based on client’s interest, past research analysis and further research planning to go back a generation or more. Ariana specializes in proving or disproving family lore by using DNA evidence in combination with traditional genealogical research. Her research is concentrated in the geographic areas of Southern Italy, particularly Terra di Lavoro, the regions now known as Lazio and Campania and across America. 

She melts her creative tendencies and technical research abilities into proof summaries and arguments, research reports, and DNA analysis. Her eye for detail honed through her art practice carries over into mining sources for information and evidence. Providing credible and accurate evidence analysis and well written family narratives are the foundation of her genealogical endeavors.

Ariana holds a certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University in 2021. She completed ProGen Study Group in 2023 and has been learning to speak Italian since 2021.
