About Us
We started ECHO Molise as a loosely affiliated group of five researchers, history buffs and Italophiles with two things in common--our Molise ancestry and our passion for our work.  In 2009, we formalized the work we had been doing individually for years.  Together, we have well over 100 years experience to share with others interested in researching their Italian roots and keeping the cultural heritage of our immigrant ancestors alive. The founders' diversity and group synergy strengthen ECHO Molise as we strive to provide unparalleled community and individual service.  Every successful connection encourages us and reinforces our vision.  

In 2009, we parlayed $1,200 directors' money into free client services that would be commercially valued at $40,000. It was a struggle to work within those financial limitations with just a handful of spare-time volunteers.  We are encouraged, however, by our clients' enthusiasm and support, and a growing volunteer network.

In 2010, we are (finally!) set up to accept donations and apply for grants--and dream of what we can do with more resources!
Take a look at some of our ideas:
What's New, What's Next and How You Can Help.
