I am looking for anyone who can help me with the ancestors of the above name who came from Trieste, Italy. He was born in 1808. He is my g-g grandfather. He married a woman from Pennsylvania. His first child was born in 1830. All his children were born in New York except one that was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and is my g grandfather. Someone on another limb of the tree is saying her grandmother told her they came from the Po Valley area but couldn't say where. I found an Alexander Bergamini born in 1748 in San Benedetto Po, Mantova, Italy. That is in the Po Valley on the River it looks like. He could be part of the distant ancestors with the naming of children in Italy. The Italian phone book has 5 Bergamini's listed. I don't speak Italian. Any help you can get for me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. B
It's said Italy was a country of Saints, poets and navigators. There's no more trace of the poets and navigators but, fortunately, there are traces of the Saints. All the Italian towns are voted to a Saint and one of these is San Gennaro, well-known for his miracle. Who was San Gennaro? San Gennaro ...
