Hi Paul

You are very lucky that I saw your private message! I havent checked this site in a very long time so I am glad I havent kept you waiting too long for a reply.

I tried to reply but it seems to be stuck in the Outbox. If you (or anyone else with an interest in the area) want to contact me ...

Hello!

I dont know if you are still interested in this, but I might be able to help

My great grandmother was Berta De Silvestro. She was the daughter of Francisco De Silvestro and Julia Obrelli. Our De Silvestro family came from Mazzin (or there abouts)

Looking at some records, there are records ...

I also am sorry to hear of Elba's passing. She had helped me and so many countless others on the site...She will be deeply missed. Prayers being lifted for her and her family.

I second that very strongly! She was always willing to help me and others. This is a great shock to hear of her passing ...

With the name Bassetti, you are almost certainly looking at Poia-Godenza, Trentino

I have strong links with this area, and I have Bassetti's in my ...

I have a lot of family from Lundo and there abouts. The most common names are Giovanelli, Bottesi, Pedrini, Bassetti, Bonavida, Rigotti, Sansoni, Trentini (to name the major ones)

Any of these names appear?

Looks like this has already been posted

Still, worth all the publicity it can get I think!

I have a family connection with Mazzin

The name is De Silvestro. They still live there now, and have done for at least 120 years, probably more!

Using the site above, I found the names Sommavilla and Luchet in that area

If you come across any of these names, I would love to hear about it!

Hey guys

Was sent this link by a friend in Italy (who we found to be a 3rd cousin)

It has a huge collection of birth records covering the churches of Trentino from 1815-1923

They estimate about 1.28million records to be on the site!

Hi STB

I have found that (Diego) died in 1912 aged 69, which puts his birth at around 1843 as you said. His wife died 3 years earlier aged 61

As for Pasquale, I have a possible record. It is of a Pasquale Gevonese marrying a Francesca Bricandi in 1822 in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, Sicily. It gives ...

Im running Family Tree Maker 2008. I tried 2010, but I prefered the simple, effective, no-nonsense layout of 2008

I would definately recommend it to anyone doing a tree!

If you post some name, places and dates, maybe someone on here can help you!

Your best bet is to get out a pencil and some paper and sketch out everything you know

Then, ask any family members you can about anything they might know. This is one of the best ways to make tracks into discovering names, places, dates etc.

Once you have that, you can begin to search the ...

Its funny you should mention Naples as his last place of sighting

I am currently looking into a family tree for a friend of mine (surname Brandi)

Her great-grandmother was a Gambardella, and her family were all from around Naples and Amalfi

Perhaps there was a family connection that brought him ...

Thank you so much - I appreciate that your other work takes priority

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to translate this into English for me

I believe it to be the Last Testament of my Great-Great-Grandfather Luigi Veronesi-Guardini. He died in 1907

Any feedback would be much appreciated :)
