Any Guardi\'s out there?

[Chickita]

I\'m trying to find out about some of my family history (ie. the meaning of \"Guardi\" and if we have a coat of arms. Any info would be appreciated.

This is an abbreviation of the name Dioguardi which is local to Puglia and sporadic. It was first documented as a surname in Toscana in the 12th century. Go to www.infokey.com for possible coat of arms. It is a commercial site but will furnish you with the info you are seeking. If you wish to explore further then explore the internet. Peter
