My reasoning for selecting Italy as my study abroad destination can be attributed to my love for genealogy. My research on the well-known Ancestry.com website dates back to 2012 where there has since been an addition of over 1000 members to my family tree. After learning that my maternal second great-grandfather moved to the United States from Italy in the late 1800 to early 1900’s, my interest has broadened to learning more about my ethnicity. Results from an AncestryDNA test further promotes my ties with Italy, Ireland, and Great Britain, as well as at least six other regions. Between my maternal grandmother and descendants from my father’s exceptionally large family, I likely have ties among the German and Dutch as well.
