Populis.com Teams up With Genealogy Site to Expand Service

The firstname@lastname.com service provider, Populis.com has teamed up with the Italian genealogy site, D'Addezio.com to bring their services to the Italian and Italian-American markets.

"We've achieved success in bringing our service to the Internet users in Europe. Now we're looking to expand into additional markets," commented Martin Volatier, one of the three founding members of Populis.com. "D'Addezio.com, with its extensive collection of Italian genealogy information is an ideal partner for us."

Populis.com provides free domain and e-mail services for family members with their innovative firstname@lastname.com service. Based on the principle of sharing, the service is immediately available on all surnames already housed on Populis.com (more than 1000 currently). For those not yet available on Populis.com, people are invited to add them to the list.

For the first time ever, with Populis.com you can be yourself on the Internet.

"I think Populis.com has developed a concept that's ideal for genealogists," added Illya D'Addezio, creator of D'Addezio.com. "I'm excited about promoting this free service and offering research tools to the Populis.com customers."

Visitors to D'Addezio.com will now have direct access to the Populis.com directory from various features on the site, easing the challenge of finding cousins around the world. In addition, D'Addezio.com will promote the Populis.com services, offering additional services for visitors who turn their surnames into domain names.
