Uncovering South Philly's Ancestral Past
James Trovarello, a 74-year-old family history detective, has spent 35 years researching the ancestries of hundreds of his fellow South Philadelphians.
It would span farther than even the waves of tempest-tossed Italian immigrants who first filled the neighborhood more than a century and a half ago.
Trovarello's research takes him back to the distant descendants of South Philadelphians, including peasants, tradesmen, and swordsmen from centuries past.
His work has earned him the unofficial title of "South Philly genealogist," a label he modestly shakes off.
