The only thing my father ever said about his Italian immigrant family was that his parents died in the 1930s, shortly after arriving at Ellis Island. Except they didn't. Once I began the search for my grandparents, I mostly ran into dead-ends. Until the 1940 census. My grandparents magically appear, but as inmates at the Rockland Insane Asylum. What happened? Why all the secrecy? And how did I use genealogy to unravel the mystery?

Amazing family history brought to life
Revisado: 10-06-22
This is a fascinating multi-layered story about one’s longing for his roots, unknown family history, family secrets and kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmares.
A fascinating story about a system that does not protect an individual. And how the same system protects information about him - Information that is of value only to living relatives.
Loved the kindle version and audiobooks is well produced as well. Narration is pleasurable to listen.
