CASTELLO 1838 Genoa, help me find his ancestors

Post by itsmango »

Hi! i have been trying to find my italian relatives for years and i am stuck... My great grandfather Girolomo/Girolamo Castello was born around 1838 in Genoa, Italy and moved to Gnarp,Sweden around 1870 maybe. He died there 1896 leaving his wife and 3 children. I am trying to gather more information about him, his parents and relatives from Italy. Could anyone please help me with this?

According to my swedish relative who is also related to him, we origins from Sicily, but i am not sure about this.

Best regards :o

Unfortunately, Castello/Castelli is a very common surname all over Italy.
If he married in Sweden, you might look for his marriage record, or his children's baptism/birth; maybe you can find some more accurate info there.
