ABOUT ME
Introduction
Paola Manfredi was born and raised in Italy. At the age of eight, she started drawing her first Family Tree on a notebook while asking her paternal grandmother in Napoli, Italy about her life and her family.
This improvised Family Tree turned out to be accurate and she still has it. That was the beginning of a lifetime dedicated to Family History. While still in Italy, she was involved in microfilming Italian records and helping others researching their Family Tree. Later she moved to Utah where she graduated from BYU with a degree in Family History/Genealogy and obtained her AG credentials. She has conducted extensive professional research in archives across Italy and has also given presentations on Italian research in the US and in Italy. She has been working for FamilySearch for the last thirteen years, where she’s involved in homeland support for Europe and especially for Italy. She currently resides in Utah and goes back to Italy every year.
