Find out how John and Paula Vergara discovered their Italian/Canadian ancestry, not through the traditional way, but from a Google search. Learn how their 3rd great grandfather, Antonio DeBassio, born in Italy in the late 1700s, went on to fight in Napoleon's army during the Napoleonic war, and survived the disastrous and deadly March on Moscow in 1812, where 600,000 of Napoleon's troops went in, and only 100,000 survived. His fateful move to Canada shortly after the war changed the course of their family for generations. With a whole new way of learning about their ancestry at a much deeper level , the impact of these previously unknown stories (and people) can be profound.
