Re: Jean-Baptiste Salvaye Captain of the regiment in Pignero
Wasn't Jean-Baptiste Salvaye de Tremont one of Giovanni Battista's descendants? Giovanni's son, Pierre was the first Salvai/y (from our family line) to arrive in North America. The Carignan-Salieres regiment employed Italian mercenaries, among them Piemontese like Pierre Salvay. Many people don't kn...

Re: Salvai/Salvay - Pinerolo
Winemaker, To answer your question, it seems like a very reputable website. The site creator is not **SPAM** anything. If you scroll down to the bottom of the following web page, he even lists all of his sources. http://xoomer.virgilio.it/blasonpiemon/index1.html However, I wouldn't get that tatoo j...

Re: Salvai/Salvay - Pinerolo
Hi Winemaker,
Being from Canada, I'm sure that you are directly descended from Pierre (probably Pietro) Salvay of Pinerolo, son of Giovanni Battista (or Jean-Baptiste, in French) Salvai/Salvay. Check out a Salvai/Salvay coat of arms below:

Re: Salvay ancestry
Actually, my grandfather is from New England and I think his ancestors may have crossed the border from Quebec. I don't know when they emigrated to America.
Have you met many Salvails in Massachusetts? When did the Salvails from your mom's side emigrate to America?

Re: Giovanni Battista Salvai aka Jean-Baptiste
Hi Stross, Thank you so much for supplying me with Jean-Baptiste’s real name. It appears that both Giovanni Battista and Jean-Baptiste are one in the same - both mean John the Baptist. And, you’re right; the dates do match. I’m really excited about finally learning the names of ...

Re: Jean-Baptiste Salvaye Captain of the regiment in Pignero
Hey Stross,
So who are Giovanni Battista Salvays, figlio di Emanuele e Filippa Salvays? Do you know if and how they are related to Jean-Baptiste Salvay? Have you ever tried writing to Italy for more info? How far can your mom trace her genealogy back to Jean-Baptiste?
Thanks.

Re: Salvai/y
Hi Srossmeisl, Thanks for your reply. Salvai/y) is a Piemontese name, not North African. It simply comes from an Arabic word. I don't yet know what that word is. As you may know, some Italian names come from Arabic as a result of Saracen raids and occupations of the Italian peninsula. When the Arabs...

Re: Capt. Jean-Baptiste Salvay
I am also a direct descendant of Capt. Jean-Baptiste Salvai/Salvay. The Salvai/Salvay family is from Piemonte, Italy. From my research, I found that the surname derives from Arabic. [The Saracens(Arabs from North Africa) conquered Piemonte in the 10th century.] Check out the shield part of a Salvai/...
