Re: Charlie Chiado
Hi, living not far from there, I can assure that "Chiadò" (with an accent on the last letter and very often being part of a doubele surname, i.e. "Chiadò Caponet", "Chiadò Cutin", Chiadò Piat", etc.) is definitely a typical surname for Corio Canavese and the immedi...

Re: Village of Rampone
Hi. "Bricco Rampone" is the name of a small hamlet belonging to the Comune (town) of Frinco, province of Asti, in Piemonte (northern Italy, as you correctly stated). In my opinion, it has nothing to do with the town of Strangolagalli, province of Frosinone, in Lazio (central Italy, at leas...

Re: Please translate words written on back of picture
I obviously don't know who sent the picture, but it should be the portrait of Luigi and Vincenza Baglio. What I was saying is that it's impossible to tell which kind of relationship Luigi and Vincenza had with the recipient: they could have been his/her grandchildren or his/her nephew and niece. Cia...

Re: Please translate words written on back of picture
"Ricordo dei suoi nipoti Baglio Luiggi e Baglio Vincenza"
"Souvenir of your *** Baglio Luigi and Baglio Vincenza"
*** = The Italian word "nipoti" may indicate both "grandchildren" and "Nephew/niece"

Re: Carlo Costa-Zana
Hello, Mjc. I'm too younger for the 1937's trip, but old enough for the one your sister did a few years ago. Unfortunately, it's not her I had the chance to meet but another Zana family: they were/are about the same generation of your mother (from what I can understand) and they still lived in Leech...

Re: Carlo Costa-Zana
Hello MJC, I live in the area and all the names and places you mentioned are familiar to me. Correct Italian spellings are "Costa Zana" and "Pastor Ris" as surnames; "Giacomo" and "Maddalena" (and "Carlo", obviously) as first names; San Giorgio (Cana...

Re: San Benigno Canavese (Torino)
Hi. I live in the area and I can assure you there's only one cemetery in San Benigno Canavese: CIMITERO COMUNALE Via Chivasso 10080 San Benigno Canavese (TO) Also, the church your ggparents could have used was certainly the catholic one, the only existing there at that time. Here's the address: PARR...

Re: Surname BELLINO
Locana is a mountain village, made of almost 100 hamlets (group of houses), often located a few miles far from the center of the village: today, most of those hamlets are deserted, but in the past there was a church or at least a chapel in many of them (see here: http://www.comune.locana.to.it/?pubb...

Re: Family terms in Italian
Unfortunately, Italian language hasn't a proper way to correctly indicate this kind of relationship. We may indifferently say "cousin" or "2nd cousin", which both are wrong definition: the English one is much better and more precise.

Re: Surname BELLINO
Hi.
Bellino is present also in Canavese area (north-western part of the Province of Turin, i.e N-W of N.W. of Piemonte region). There still are families with this surname in the village of Locana (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locana).
Hope this helps.
